...off to finally scatter my mums ashes. Heading back home to Wales so she can be with the family, where she met her husband, her children were born etc... We've had to wait a while for various reasons but be nice to get it done. Got some here in Kent already which is nice for my dad, bro & I. If anything like her funeral, we'll be celebrating her life remembering the good times, not doom & gloom, ain't how she was as loved a party see.

As they say, only the good die young eh!

ffs, 56 years old, she had the second part of her life to live yet. Was one of a kind with a heart of gold that took no ***** from anyone. Shame she never got to meet grandchild no.3 but at least she knew. Feel sorry for my bro as is something he won't be able to experience with his kids, the nans right to spoil em.

No matter how ***** things got her favourite saying, apart from Robert, get here now, was don't worry, it'll be fine. Something that will stay with me forever. She was one of those people that just had that aurora, made you relaxed, comfortable & at home. One of those people for the right reasons that if you came across her in life, you'd never forget. Her consultant wrote to my dad recently to explain she was an inspiration to him & he's met 1000's of people suffering with cancer. She would arrange treatment around her life, when he told her their was nothing more he could do, yep you guessed it, her response, don't worry, it'll be fine, best make the most of what I have left then.

Rant over & better now it's out my system, sorry to put it on you guys but like an extended family to me :biggrin

Hope it all goes ok
Lost my dad some years ago now but still miss him. Though he had Alzheimer's which made the last year tough, but at 97 not a bad innens!
At 50 myself already, but hoping for a few more years yet
 
Cheers peeps :thumbup

Just been a few months since the funeral so all the anger & frustration is coming back thinking of the reasons why again!
 
Feel for ya Robbo.

Sounds like you're left with some great memories, and perhaps where you get your great outlook on life too. All the best to you and yours bud
 
Tears rolling down my cheeks for you and your family Robbo. Please lift a wee dram tae yer mam fer me. I ******* HATE the cancer. I've been touched a couple of times. My mom has had some melanomas removed, and wee sister has fought a synovial sarcoma several years ago and is now beating breast cancer. She's the fittest, veganist, healthiest oerson I know, ffs!!
Seems like I have been looking after more and more cancer victims at work as well. And I have a helluva time maintaining a professional demeanour when dealing with family and patient...

My heart aches for you, Rob. Mere words can never express condolences for your loss. Your celebration of her life, however, is a beautiful way to honour your mothers memory.
 
Hope everything goes well for you bro, enjoy the celebration and treasure the memories

PS I'll hopefully get round to booking Snett today, just been a bit busy
 
All the best Robbo. I've had close family memebers touched by the big C and its not a nice thing to see. If I remember you correctly I think you have an uncle who lives down my way rides a KTM or is that someone else.

Where will you be going down here on the weekend?

Yep, that's me. Will be spending time between Cardiff & Brecon but will be heading up & over Llangynidr for the purpose.
 
Cheers again all for your kind words. Wasn't expecting to get anything back from this apart from letting off a bit of steam myself :thumbup
 
Llangynidr is a nice place though Rob. I work in Brecon myself and will be working Saturday down there. Then I'm off to a BBQ down in Chepstow.

Will be thinking of you on the weekend though.
As my dad says life has no choice but to go on. Never get over things but they become easier.

Hope you get on ok - lost my sister (the best off all 4 of us) to the big C - I always think why did it have to be her :banghead, good luck m8.
 
Robbo,
Condolances buddy, feel for you & your family.

Lost my Dad to the Big Bad C in 2007. He always encouraged me to better myself, something sadly he didn't see that, as I only seemed to get of my arse and make a go of things after we lost him, so even in his absence he continues to inspires me.
Dads ashes are at Wastwater in the LAkes - somewhere we spent alot of time together as a family when my bruv n I were kids. So I get why you n your family will make the journey to scatter them in familiar surroundings which are full of memories.
I hope you and your family find some sense in all the madnsss of loss and mourning a loved one. Your dear Mam sounds like a she was a lovely person and proud of her family.

And yeh, us rufty tufty bikers all have a big heart too. So its good to talk and get it off yer chest.

Oh and Tuboy just for the record mate "Don't wait for your boat to come in - swim out and meet the f**ker", love it bro'!
 
Hope it all goes ok Robbo.

Lost my mum to cancer 4 years ago. She was 79 so not a bad innings all things considered, but she was fit as a fiddle before the bastard C struck, and it pisses me off greatly that she's not around to watch my daughters grow up..

All the best mate.
 
Feel for ya Robbo, hope all goes well.

I too lost my mum to cancer just over a year ago. Sad thing was, I was in remission after 6 months of chemo for Lymphoma and my mum thought that she would be able to have chemo and that would make her better like it did me. The lung cancer she had though took her away from us after only six weeks from diagnosis. It was very quick and I was angry about that but at least she didn't suffer.

God bless you Mate and hope to cross paths with you sometime.
 
all the best to you Rob mate, we went to scotland recently to scatter my dads ashes and yes it was emotional, but we also had a good time and a few laughs remembering funny stories and stuff we all did....all the best to you, Dave.
 
Cheers again all. God bless mums eh!

Like my dad says to my bro & I, least we'll always remember her young & beautiful, not old & frail. When racing motocross as a kid she was always their to support me. Never once watched the start but when I came out the first corner it would be her I'd see waving & shouting on the sideline, normally with the hold it wide open throttle hand action. As an adult when she didnt come along, she'd be the first on the blower to see how I got on. She knew I was happy on 2 wheels, which made her happy.

Was close to her, mummy's boy & all that but being I suffered with cancer 6 years ago at the age of 24 we formed a kind of bond I don't have with anyone else that can't be replaced.
