A sad day..
We had some very sad news this afternoon. Tony's best and oldest friend, Vic is in hospital with terminal cancer. We phoned his son up as usual to see if it was ok for Tony to visit Vic tomorrow and he said there was no point now - Vic was unconscious and not got long to live - a few days at the most. The family are taking it in turns to keep a vigil by his bedside..As if this wasn't enough, Vic's wife Pauline has recently been diagnosed with oral cancer and is in the same hospital following an operation to remove half of her jaw.
She so needs to be with him at the end and he so needs to be with her to offer comfort and support and neither are possible.
I can't begin to put myself in Pauline's shoes.
Feeling so very sad for them...

Re: A sad day..
Carol, l am really sorry to hear about your friends. Just recently, l have been to three funerals, of friends around my own age....mumbles...68. It makes you wonder, what's it all about? Could l be next?!!I was telling somebody recently that l have a bottle of Bollinger champagne that l got for my 60th birthday. They said, champagne doesn't keep, why are you keeping it, it goes off! Well, after reading about your friends, l have opened it, who knows what's around the corner?
Good Health Everybody.......

Expressing oneself is always difficult when someone is hurting.
