Nice one :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I think this is the reward that I was given for being with him for the last 3 months of his life,making sure he doesn't have to die alone. It was the least I could do,I have no regrets and I'm just happy I could be there for him,although at times the pain and suffering was unbearable. Lung cancer is such an awful way to go,and he had problems letting go of life.It wasn't easy for him.

I basically let go of the work I was doing at the time,and thought being with him is more important,I have a whole life ahead of me to make money.

Funny how what goes around,comes around. I love Life!! :D

R.I.P Dad :angel:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What a contrast. I wouldn't look after my step dad like that, in fact (sorry for crudeness here) I wouldn't even spit on him if he was on fire.

It's always galling for me when I see people who get on well with step parents when I cannot stand mine and the only good thing he has done is give me a half sister and half brother who I love.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh,I have had my fair share of issues with him,believe me.There was probably the best part of a decade where we didn't talk much at all. Fact is he's the only 'Dad' I had and he did bring me up and tried to be the best substitute he could be.

I don't think it's easy for either side,but I can more than just relate to your sentiment. :)

Oops, sorry, Russ! <sheepish>

I just started a Things Going Right Thread, only to have Russ point out that such a thread, i.e. this one, already existed. Oh well.

I just had a USB stick returned to me that I thought I'd lost for good, its contents - various stories, documents and, worst of all, hundreds of irreplaceable photos - consigned to oblivion by whoever found the stick in the library, where I thought I'd lost it, as they'd surely clear it for their own use.

Instead, I apparently lost it near a primary school, where the kids found it and handed it in! All the stuff I thought I'd lost forever is now safe and backed up to another stick! Yay! :D

Mine would have to be, after 12 yrs of living on my own my girlfriend and I are just starting our 2nd month of living together, surprisingly everything is damn groovey :)

I have had a good few relationships in the past 12yrs, one even lasting 6yrs but no one has ever floated my boat enough to make the jump.

Anyway, go me for finally finding my last ever first kiss..

Our little man has discovered how to smile and in the process has made the whole family smile with him.
