Sad news regarding a friend of mine.

I wanted to pay my respects today to a dear friend.

For those of you who know me, I have supported my mother through oral cancer and I am thankful every day she is still alive and I feel very lucky for this and we have a lovely success story for you and I am sorry to add this sad story to such a happy link, but a sad thing has happened this week and i wanted to just say a few words.

This week, I heard of a death of an old friend. He didnt have oral cancer, but a soft tissue cancer, which was linked to the blood, but he was only 38 and left a wife and four young children.
His name was Rob and he was a really lovely man, upbeat, cheerful, strong and full of dignity and a good friend to my family and I. He worshipped his children and was proud of his family and he battled for 18 months to beat the cancer he had.

However in late june he was in the final stages and requested to leave the hospital and spend his last few days in the company of his family.
He died with his loving family around him.

I just wanted to pay my respects to this dear man and send my thoughts and love to his family and to all who knew him.

It is so very sad and at times like this, i dont understand why? and I dont know why some make it and some dont, please forgive me for posting this sad tale, but he didnt have oral cancer and in my experience I have witnessed my mother recover from oral cancer, so I hope I can still send you lots of hope.

But for now, Dear Rob, this is for you mate, this should never have happened to you, you were a good friend to us all, you were put on this world to be a father, it was what you always wanted and you have some wonderful children to be so very proud of, rest in peace. xx

Thank you to all on this sight for allowing me to share this with you.

God bless xx
