Title: My Daughters with Cancer.
Post by: Groundy on March 27, 2024, 12:03:27 PM
I posted a few years ago that 3 of my daughters have been diagnosed with Cancer, Bridgette who live s in New Zealand has been ill with it for many years, my youngest daughter has had the all clear , my daughter in Australia who is a nurse had it very bad for over 2 years but has now got the all clear,
poor Bridgette has been to hell and back for many years has now on permanent Morphine has has been told she will probably get until the week end. the funny thing is after all these years you always think everything will be well, The sad thing is New Zealand is so far and now I have not even renewed my passport, anyway gang I am sorry I have not been making much music but I do listen most days.
Best regards to you all....Alex

what can I say... I hadn't seen or read this message before ... in fact on songcrafters I end up only frequenting the cover section as it's my playground.
Which explains my silence of course if I had seen your messages earlier I would have replied.

I'm absolutely appalled
Alex, I don't know you very well or at all, but the few exchanges we've had, despite the language barrier, have always been warm and full of kindness.

I had a (virtual) friend with you who was very, very dear to me, Tommy Knocx alias Fenderbender, who has passed away... which means that I still feel closer to you...

I personally only have one child, one daughter, who is probably about the same age as your daughter Bridgett, and I can only imagine the deep pain that you and your daughter are feeling.

My heart goes out to you and I remain your friend, even if far away.

Thank you every one for your kind comments,
I had to smile today when I got an email from Terry her husband, he said she was so relaxed about everything, made a bucket list, went out and bought an urn, she did not want any flowers and people feeling sad she decided on a cremation, and her song choice was, Fireball by Pitbull, only bridget could do something like that ,
Thanks again everyone much appreciated,   Alex

You have been in my thoughts. I just checked in on this post to learn that she had passed away a few days ago. You have my deepest sympathies. My offer stands: If you want to reach out to a long-time virtual friend in Madagascar, I'm here.

Alex, im so sorry to hear this news.
I lost both my parents to cancer so I know the long road this terrible disease takes you down but to lose someone so young and its your daughter, I really can't imagine.
The thoughts that she is now at peace and pain free will be a comfort.
I 100 percent believe we move on from this place to another level that is far greater than here ,please feel free to private message or reach out to me if you need someone to talk to.

Thank you for sharing your pain with us Alex.  There is nothing I could write to console you.  It takes real bravery to share these goodbyes.
Still, I hope for the reuniting.  I believe in it.  I know the one who does it.

Seems like she had the time and clarity of mind to exercise some control over her departure. This is true for too few.

She is free of all her trials, but that doesn't soothe the pain of those who have lost her. This I know too well.

Remember her for the light she shed while she was among you. Hopefully, this will help fill the empty places that your heart encounters when it turns to find her.
