Echo that here as well @Gordon Armstrong. Take care Chunk, hopefully see you back soon, the boards a better place with you on it.
He's a good lad Chunk, things got out of hand on Saturday for sure but no point rehashing that as its been dealt with. I was speaking to him on Sunday morning to see how he was and he was def in shock, and not surprised he's taking some time to himself The Internet can be a great place at times but it can also be a nightmare. If your mind isn't in a great place the Internet really isn't a good place to be, and on this forum is no different. He will feel so much better getting away from here for a bit and focus on the things that actually matter in life - himself and his family. If you see this Chunk, hope you and the family are keeping well and reach out if you ever need to chat
What prehab did was wrong. I’ve told him that and he knows he went over the top. but he has kindly asked me to say: that he did not threaten chunks kids at any point and would never as a father of 2 young children Prehab also says he apologised to chunks the day after and chunks accepted. those are his words not mine. Would like to say personally I hope chunks is okay also and he should get himself back on here when he’s ready.
Thanks for posting that, hope prehab gets back on soon as well, and all move on. Good to see you back as well, your input on the transfer thread is very much appreciated.
Even mentioning people's children is completely out of order, no excuse whatsoever. I don't suppose Chunks feels he has any other option but to accept an apology from someone who said he'd find him and sort him out. In my opinion.
I'm not proud to have called someone on a forum a clown ... ... that's probably the worst thing I've ever done, yet to listen to some people I'm evil personified. Some people love to dish it out, can't handle it when it's thrown back at them and go completely over the top. As happened here. If people can't cope with a reaction they should seriously consider what they say in the first place.
Would love to see Chunks back. He's a genuinely lovely man who's helped me with stuff when I've needed it. Love you man xx
My daughter doesnt understand death, shes spent the last 2 hours telling us how she misses her grandad and asking why he isnt here. Sometimes there just isnt a suitable answer and thats ok isnt it?
I think the only answer you can give is that he's not in any pain anymore and he's in a better place now but he's always with her. Its a bog standard answer
Really sad to hear mate. Just be real and cry with her and say you’re also sad but tell her sadness doesn’t last forever and there will be good times soon. It’s an important lesson to learn for her future.
Aww bless her. It's really hard for them understand. Just be kind and patient and explain it in terms she can understand. My Mam just made a memory box. She was close to her Nana who was brilliant at sewing, crochet and other needlework stuff. She taught me thinks like sewing buttons on and darning clothes when I was a teenager to prepare me for being a wife! My Mam had various bits of her stuff like scissors, crochet hooks and stuff. She arranged them all in a deep picture frame with a small photograph of Nana. Have you got things belonging to your Dad or photographs of him that she likes? You could maybe help her make a special memory box or photo collage she can keep to remind her of times with him.
Hi Chunks I lost my dad when I was 12. Never easy even to this day, I am 60 now (he was poorly for a long time). While never shielding me from grief my mum was excellent at making sure life went on. I began to do things and think he would have been proud of that. It's not easy but this was a great coping mechanism
I'm not being blasé but this is why children should have pets and be allowed to grieve when they pass. It's the natural way of the world and something we're all part of. It's a good thing because we all need to accept our mortality and humanity ... ... we're all going to die, that's life.
