So sorry to hear your news Gary. I wish there was more we could do than offer words of sympathy. As you know this is more than just a run of the mill car club, anything you need just say, there will be a queue of members looking to help. Take it easy, try to make the best of it even though you have a hell of a cloud hanging over you.

Hello Gary, this is a devastating situation, and takes real guts to write what you did. I am not able to offer you any comfort apart from the following :
Tragic stuff happens, and the difficulty that humans have is, how the hell do I get my mind around the new situation? often the mind cannot comprehend the situation all that well, sometimes the need for others to offer kindness and compassion works, other times it does'nt. By no means am in your situation and I cannot comprehend your situation either, but during my life several tragic events have made me realise how fortunate I have been believe it or not, I have looked back several times at my childhood, and my youth. This has helped me so much. My upbringing was hard and a strict discipline regime, we also have love through the family, lovely holidays and plenty of fun and laughs. The good times memories make me smile and please me. At the age of six, after being very poorly for almost 12 months, I was finally diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, my childhood was wrecked, I felt so detached from normality, can't eat this or that, can't do this or that, injection after injection daily, I had a hard time with it, and things are not great now. It is common for 5 or 6 shots a day, countless blood tests as well. My illness has had knock on effects with parts of the body like the eyes, (Lost one so far) nerve dysfunction in both legs and feet to mention a few. This in no way is to compare with your diagnosis btw. My wife asked for a divorce less than 12 hours before major eye surgery, I miss my beautiful 4 year old boy who I see most week ends. I sometimes look into my injection bag and question the point of continuing with this! I could deliver a sizeable injection that would put an end to all my suffering and would take less than half an hour to be complete. But here is why I dont, My family (whats left of it) lost my natural dad 26 years ago (Killer heart attack). And my step dad 5 years ago after a hospital blunder. So my son Brendan, my suffering Mother & brother and a number of really fantastic friends some of whom are club members. Another reason I carry on is the memories of enjoyable times I had, and some to come.
This must be so hard for you, and I really cant offer you anything more than my wishes for you to enjoy your memories of good times, folk you have met and funny stuff that happened to you in the past.
I hope that if you are going to suffer with any pain, that you are offered proper pain relief management, and that you will receive the best possible help.
If I have'nt caused you more upset or annoyed you too much, and I can be of help by just chatting from time to time, please say because if that's all I can do to help, I will do it.
Bless you. John H.

Hi Gary
I do not have adequate words to respond to your post so I will just say that I enjoyed your acquaintance when we have met at the Halfway House and hope you will be able to make it along there some time soon. With very best wishes. David

Gary, I don't know what to say, except be strong and put in a strong fight, don't ever give up, the same goes for you John.

Hi Gary I have never met you but have spoken via PM quite a bit.
I'm absolutely gutted to hear this.
You are a lovely generous gent.
Can you make it to the national meet? I'm sure someone would come pick you up. Obviously only if you want to.
You know where I am Gary
Regards Thomas
