Off Topic Simon Thomas

What a brave man he was on this morning, He spoke about his wife and how she died, He has my respect, I hope he comes back on sky soon as well.

 

Who?

 

Sky sports presenter who is suffering with depression and his Mrs died fairly suddenly I think just before Christmas.

 

Very suddenly. Days after diagnosis. Nightmare.

 

Ok. Never heard off him.

 

Can't think of much worse, poor fella.

 

Me either.
Poor Guy though

 

Yep. Bit like that explosion yesterday in Leicester, mum and 2 sons among the dead.

 

This is him:

I wouldn't have been able to put a name to the face until recently, but I'd recognise him from Sky Sports.
Three days between diagnosis and death. Awful.

 

I remember him on Blue Peter when I was growing up.

 

A ****ing awful story, tragic for the fella and his son to lose her so quickly after diagnosis.

 

Same Here.

 

Sad.
I wish him well.

 

He's got a blog I think called 'A grief shared' by all accounts he was in a dark place before his wife got ill and died, his strength is inspiring, when your back is to the wall and you have people depending on you, sometimes you pull it out of nowhere.

Massive respect to the guy, fighting through every day.

 

That must be absolutely heartbreaking.

From diagnosis to death, three ****ing days. And then to have to tell your little son that his mother isn’t coming back.

I hope they both recover in time.

 

This.

Human strength is incredible at times.

I've witnessed near on miracle strength on my various journeys.

 

What doesn’t kill you, etc..

In this case though, sadly it did,

 

Can someone post a pic of his dead Mrs to see if she is a wid?

 

Don't be a divkid, there's more to life than Frankie Boyle pal.

 

Was aimed at maths invasion of gc dead wid ye the thread..

Seems valid.

Don’t be scouse, offended by everything.. <peace>

YNWA.. etc.
