Thank u from family Hazey - "Who'd have thought it eh?"

[The Mighty Quinn]

Reading that quote reminded me of this.

Hope it helps.

I remember how I felt when my mam died of leukaemia. 6 years on, it still hurts sometimes, but it gets better.

This is coming out all wrong, but yer kna...


'Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.'

Keep using Hazeys account, a lot of us never met him, yet knew him so well through the SMB and his blogs.
Wonderful post, keep being strong.

Keep strong Mel

It must be a nationwide trend, these damn onions and wasps.

Keep going, we're with you.

“But he’s feeling better now”

no more words needed....

I am not very good at writing stuff and expressing my thoughts. I have tried writing this post for the past 30 mins so here goes.

Just read through the blogs and this thread and dont know wherever to laugh, cry, be sad or proud that a man can be so brave through the pain he had to go through in the end.

Hope Chris, Liz and your family stay strong for each other. I feel i have missed out not meeting Graeme in person. He is the bravest man i know and thank god now its over he can RIP.

In 1 blog Graeme describes the tender kiss he had with you Liz. That made me feel so soft inside and had tears from my eyes. That is such a special moment and shows the true meaning of love.

All your family must have gone through such a bad time recently watching Graeme suffer but now its over i hope u can look back on the good times and celebrate his life and all the happy times you's shared together.

Reading Hazey's blogs he didnt like to see people giving him sad faces so try be strong through this hard time and give a smile back because i think he be smiling over your

RIP HAZEY

A privilege to read that Mel.
Thanks for sharing it with us, feel like one of the family ,which in the last few months I think we all were.
Might of missed it,but what day/time is the funeral as even as I live in Spain, I would like to be a part of it.

Very powerful reading and my sympathy to you and your family.


I've followed Hazey's battle mainly through posts on SMB but I hadn't read all his blogs in detail..........until yesterday!! Truly amazing reading and truly inspirational.


I think the best way to sum up is how I found out. A mate of mine called Sunday night to say there was bad news and that Hazey had lost his battle with cancer. Neither of us knew him and I wasn't even aware my mate had been following Hazey's battle but it felt like we'd both lost a mate.

A truly moving and heartwarming post, thanks.

Am struggling to pack in smoking (again!). Every time I get that itch for a tab, all I need to do is remind myself how lucky I am to be alive, and how stupid I am in killing myself with tabs when lads like Hazey showed true guts and bravery on a scale I couldn't be capable of. Perspective, and all that.

An inspiration in many ways.

So very pleased that you've come back to continue to let us know how things are going.

Its good to hear that a daft message board has helped in its own little way.

Take Care,
Peter

Thanks so much for sharing that with us Mel. And I think you're right about the coincidences... He's probably having a right chuckle about them !!

Made me laugh yesterday when re-reading the blogs and getting to the bit about buying emergency pants in a hurry... made me laugh more than I have in a bloody long time that.

Lots of love to you all
