RE: Taking a break - WBA-Josh - 03-04-2020
Hi guys. Thank you for the kind words and messages. Before I disappear permanently for a few weeks I'd like to give you all some information because I consider you all to be friends, even if we never have chance to meet (I'll obviously have to learn scuba diving to meet Beefy).
My Mum was 68 years old and she was a wonderful person full of love and compassion. She gave up so much so I and my Brothers could have a decent life. She helped me get through University even though it put my Parents in financial difficulty. She helped my Brother with his multiple businesses. She helped my Dad have a somewhat enjoyable retirement.
Through this dark tunnel there is light at the end of it. It's a long way away but it is there. Through this grief, two fractured families have come back together. I have seen my brother for the first time in 8 years. I will see my niece for the first time in 8 years. My Dad has spoken to his sister for the first time in 20 years. She also touched people outside of the family. She had Meniere's disease and through the kindness of her blessed heart, she created a social media group to help fellow sufferers of the disease. There are people across Europe and North America who she helped with advice and, most importantly, friendship.
A kind, compassionate soul who always put others first is how she will be remembered. That is her forever lasting legacy.

She sounded a wonderful lady and mother, Josh. God bless her.

Josh, like all on this site, I'm so sorry to hear of the death of your mum. I lost my mum last October and its so hard. I wish you all the very best

Please accept my sincere condolences Josh. I haven't been on the site for a few days so have only just seen this.
Stay strong young man, time does heal but you will never forget the memories that you have of her.
I lost my own mother nearly 40 years ago; she was barely 61 years of age. For a while everything just feels numb but, time heals eventually.
At least it seems that some good has resulted if your fractured family are after all those years beginning to come back together.

Thank you to all for your kind words and messages while I was away.
It's been a hard 4 weeks but I think life will start to become normal again soon. My Dad and I had my Mum cremated in Plymouth so she is back at home with us now in Cornwall and will come with us when my Dad and I move back up north, once the virus has royally fucked itself off.

Welcome back Josh sorry for your sad loss, hope things now settle down and we as a country can get rid of this dam virus and get back to normal. But looking at it logically the norm will not be back until a vaccine or drugs to combat this virus is found.
