I've had a bit of a melt down and when I do I seem to put pen to paper so here is a poem describing my thoughts at the time. 

I'm a worrier. ...

I have been grieving for so many years,
I've seen it and done it,
Faced up to my fears,
An old man like me,
What I mean is I'm weak,
My problems never ending,
A future so bleak,
Heartache and worry,
Still make there self known,
Like a part in a thriller,
On the twighlight zone,
The smallest of problems,
Will make my mood sink,
Life gets me down,
All so trivial  you may think,
I had the best family,
We asked for no more,
Then cancer came knocking,
It broke down the door,
The door was protection,
From all evil outside,
Cancer got through easy,
And found somewhere to hide,
Time passed us by ,
Until it was found,
To late to get rid,
I fell hard to the ground,
Still we would battle,
3years and it won,
Losing my partner and mother to my son,
My partner had cancer,
My dog had it too,
My close uncle is terminal,
What else can we do,
We will be there when he needs us,
Our love is so true,
I can't help but keep thinking,
Who's next me or you.

  • hat’s a very moving poem, and it really conveys how grief and worry can weigh heavily over time. Writing it down like this not only expresses pain but also shows resilience in facing loss and fear.

  • I have lost my 2nd member of our close loving family namely uncle Gordon from lung cancer. 

    No matter what cancer attacks the body, having already witnessed my partner losing her own battle with cervical cancer the cruel destruction of your body and mind is very similar. 

    My uncle was given a trial medication and this really suited his form of cancer. Without this medication i dont believe he would have had the time he had as this did extend his life on this earth. 

    Today we are going for a meal as a family to celebrate his life.
