Very sorry to hear this news. Condolences to his family and friends.
Hi, don't panic he's not haunting you. It's his eldest daughter. Dad gave me the login to his ccmb as clearly this place meant alot to him.
I posted an update on the other forum https://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.php?459933-79blue as I wasn't sure where to post it.
This is likely the last post I'll make under his account. I do have my own waiting for activation 92blue but wanted to update you all more than just to gofundme update asap as you all were so wonderful to him.
Thankyou for all the kind words and support.
RIP Ian.
Very sad news.
But Ian made a lasting impression on a lot of us. His bravery and honesty and determination to use every hour he had to make a difference was exceptional. He will be missed.
Thank you for that amazing post.
You have done your dad proud.
Take care and best wishes to you, your mother and the rest of your family.
I have just read the post Ian's eldest daughter made on the Alternative Forum. Everyone should read it.
RIP Ian.
That's a fantastically scripted eulogy and goodbye
You are not taught to write like that , it comes from the soul
I am sure your dad was such a huge influence in the way you have turned out to be which is clearly very humble and gracious.....like 79blue
He is at peace now
Take care
Your dad will be incredibly proud of you (and your husband and mum) of that there can be no doubt, and as a father of young kids, I think that is the greatest thing I could wish for.
Life is incredibly unfair, we all have our reasons for thinking this, you more than most. I wish you all some peace and contentment in the coming years knowing you did everything for him. As I say, in that situation, I would have been proud to have been looked after as you described.
Thank you for posting and all the best
Hi, I have activated your new account .
RIP Bluebird
Thank you, my husband (w3lshie) joined after seeing this thread, He alerted me to it not realising my silence was me typing here for dad.
You've all been so amazing to him and I can't thank you all enough for that. ♥️ The love outpouring after you saw the gfm update has really warmed my heart.
w3lshie account also activated.
life can be so cruel and having to watch on helplessly as a loved one deteriorates at such a rapid rate is the most difficult situation you will ever find yourself in, but through the pain you found the strength to care for your Father, to be present during his time of need, and for that he would've been extremely grateful
your selfless display of love through pain is testament to the quality of guidance your Father has clearly shown you throughout your life, mourn his loss but also rejoice in the fact that you were privileged to have been able to call him 'Dad', it's all we really strive for as doting, loving parents
it's a sad read, but also an emotive outpouring of a daughters love for her Father, rest assured you couldn't have done anything more in the circumstances
lastly, it's important that after a period of reflection and introspection you also take some time out for yourself
That was extremely well-written, and as another poster said.. "from the soul".
God bless you and your family, your father will be looking down and feeling immensely proud of you all.
He is now at peace watching down with pride at you and all his family god bless
Thank you for posting at this terribly difficult time.
I'm so glad he was able to get some comfort from this board. His updates and courage touched us all.
He clearly received tremendous care and love from his family, and I wish you all the best as you come to terms with your loss.
What a marvellous and moving message.
You and your family have been through something that no one should, but your dignity and compassion shine through in your writing - i wish you and your family best wishes at this difficult time.
I'm very sorry to hear this news although it sounded as if it was likely to come sooner rather than later. Thank you so much for letting us know. He seemed a very special man.
There are no adequate words that can diminish your grief and sense of loss, but those words are the best epitaph a husband and father could ever had. Thank you.
A very moving message , I can’t begin to imagine what your father and you as a family have been through but it is obvious you are a very brave and loving family
Very sad, he did it his way and can now rest in peace. RIP 79blue.
Really sad news, so sorry for your loss.
I'm sure your father will appreciate you updating the board and everything you and the family did for him.
