Sorry about this irrelevance on a Stones board.
I know I wrote recently that my dad got ill when he fell over and punctured his lung. He got better for a while and I was able to see him in the hospital a couple of times but on Wednesday he had a cardiac arrest and died on Thursday morning.
He was an amazing, charasmatic, gentle and also a loving father. He had big problems with the booze and to say he got to 60 living his life at the pace he did is pretty amazing.
I just wanted to honour him here. Sorry again,
Cheers,
Matt |

Sorry to hear about you losing your Dad. I lost my Mum a while ago and was very close to losing my Dad earlier on this year.
Its a hell of a blow. Just try and remember the good times and, dont forget, you'll end up in turning into him!
I catch myself now thinking "bloody hell, I sound just like my Dad". Except when it comes to the Stones as he bloody hates them!
Anyway, take care and look after yourself.
Billy

Matt, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. You have my deepest sympathies.
Would you be cool with my sending you some musical medicine? I have a Dylan gem (Field Recordings...*gems* soundboard source) on the burner that is wonderful, if you like Bob that is. Dylan's music has proved to be very healing for me, it helped me through some very deep grief recently. If you want it just way the word and it will go out to you this week. Just PM me your info.
In the meantime, take extra good care of yourself. I'm so glad you felt like you could share your very sad news with us.
with love and peace,

Matty, I'm so so sorry. Losing a parent is so fucking hard, especially when they go too soon. I lost my dad when I was 16, and its just so awful. If you were here I'd give you a great big hug and a kindred spirit to talk to. Hang in there, Matty. You can PM me anytime, babe.
Your friend,

Thanks very much everyone. It is a bit weird to get used to. The worst thing was I had to go and ID his body as because this illness started because he fell, natural causes cannot be given as the reason for death so an inquest and post mortum have to be held. His funeral is a week today and we're gonna have it not as a wake but as his party! No-one wants a really grim send off. I know I can get through this but it's gonna be hard and my younger brother is hurt too as well as my mum, my dad's ex wife.
Yes Martha I love Dylan, he is almost as cool as Charlie!
The mood swings are strange also ain't they?!? One minute cool as a cat the next paining or angry. I guess everyone must go through this sometime - it's just life!
Anyway, hoist drink to him if possible.

your dad will always be with you. he will guide you, he will even smack you in the head once in a while. he will always be your dad.
the pain will get better as time passes, and you will remember the good times, the funny things he did and said.
take care. |

Matt, I am so sorry to hear about your father.
I commend you for being brave enough to share your loss with us in the manner in which you have...
I too, lost my father quite suddenly to cardiac arrest. He was 60 years old as well. It's devistating, but we somehow manage. It's takes time, Matt...have patience, have faith. You will find the strength and courage to take each day as it comes. |

This is really sad news; I lost my parents a long time ago and realized that the older we are the harder it feels. We can always have differences specially when we’re teenagers but a dad is a dad and there’s only one and to lose him is a devastating loss
At the name of the three of us as Jaxx is very busy and Gazza is on vacation we give you our most deep and sincere condolences.
Sincerely

I'm really sorry for this Matt.
It's very nice that you decided to have a party to honor him. It'll be more helpful for you and much better for him.
Not much else to say, just take care. Life is weird, and we don't even know what we're doing here, so...
