Things that make you SAD thread.

Just found out my colleague's daughter died yesterday. We're not best friends or anything, but he is a genuinely lovely person. I really feel for him, can't imagine what it's like to lose a child.

Wouldn't wish that on an enemy If I had one.

That's really sad tredman - know that my sister has never really got over losing her son (at age 5) to leukemia & that was over 30 yrs ago

My parents never really got over losing my middle brother to cot death in 1974.

My colleague's daughter was 22 and had been fighting leukaemia for a while. Not sure if being older makes a difference, but I doubt it.

My Dad still thinks about my eldest half-sister who died almost 50 years ago.

Age doesn't really come into it - your children are not supposed to go before you do (at least not in the modern age though a lot would die earlier in 1900 & earlier)

If he does exist, he's a nasty bastard.

Just been for a lunchtime trip to Beatties. My God, it's depressing.

Occasionally you meet another person who in spite of everything they experience are/seem happy.
I'm still recovering yesterday from meeting someone who has a number of disabilities, both MH & physical. This person is in intense pain every day - pain management is a huge issue for them. Not everything has been diagnosed, which obviously has its own implications. Not long ago they were hospitalised for something that for you and me would be serious, yet straightforward. As a result of their experience, they had to be taught how to walk again.

I know they don't want my sympathy, but fuck me they've been dealt a really shitty hand. And yet they're so cheerful.

Obvs there's not much info here, as that wouldn't be appropriate, but fucking hell after our meeting I'm not ashamed to acknowledge how upsetting I found it. And how much I respect their ability to smile in the face of the adversity.

It also puts some of my own "issues" into a bit of fucking context.

Oh wow, that's awful.

Gene therapy advances are made for this sort of thing, I guess?

My cousin had this, a terrible disease, he was a massive Wigan fan and one of his favourite days was the first team coming around to visit him.

Theres another young lad from Wigan, Jack, he has his own charity called Joining Jack, which alot of the League players support. If you see Owen Farrell score he always does the joining jack symbol

Just been told I have to re-deploy 50% of the Training team to other projects as our project is ramping down in terms of Headcount.

A 12 month old baby was thrown into a river just up the road from my Grans house in Manchester. Absolutely tragic.

I know a 22 year old man was arrested. If he has done that, he deserves hanging.

 

[Tony Towner]

The first paragraph, absolutely.
The second, what if he has mental health issues? Prefer to understand the facts rather than go full Daily Mail

 

[Pablowolf]

The baby has died, unfortunately.

I moved to Manchester 20 years ago today. How the hell do two entire decades disappear like that?

Agreed it's my 16th wedding anniversary today too.

Same day as me. IIRC we played Forest away that day and Darren Bazeley scored our goal in a 1-1 draw. It was on in the Rampant Lion.

Correct. Ian Wright red card.
