[Drinking] Life......

Sorry to hear your sad news. Cherish all of the good times you shared together.

Very sad to hear, take heart that you were surrounded by close family when you heard.
Condolences.

Was chatting to my brother yesterday wishing him and his kids a Happy Christmas and letting them know that we were thinking of them as it was their first Christmas without his wife who passed away earlier this year. I come on to NSC and this was the first thread I opened. Thoughts and prayers are for you and your family.

Sincere condolences to you and your family. Terrible news to receive at Christmas.

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

What dreadful, tragic, news. Sincere condolences to you and your family.

All the words and thoughts on all the posts are really amazing, this poem is also amazing, thank you all x

Tony, I have only just read this thread. So sorry to hear of your loss, and sincere condolences to you, your family and friends who will miss your brother so much.

 

[Biscuit]

Hitony I'm so sorry to read this. My thoughts with you and your family. :-(

 

[Megazone]

Sorry to hear the sad news you've just encountered. On a positive, it sounds like you had a good relationship with your brother. That will never be replaced. So many people grow old not even talking to their siblings. At least you have good and happy memories of your time spent with your brother. He may have passed away, but the priceless memories he's left behind will live on like he never died.

Good luck and I hope you get through this with positivity.

Again, Thank you so much to all on NSC, the messages really have helped and I've had texts and phone calls, all are so very much appreciated.

My Brothers funeral is now sorted for 12th January, at least on that day myself and the family and friends can get closure on it all, I know the pain will get better in time, Thank You all.

So sorry mate.

 

[Brovion]

I've only just seen this thread. I've never met you Hitony, but obviously you're one of us. Really really sorry to hear your news, and if the sincerely-meant words of physical strangers are of comfort then please add mine to the list.

Take care, and as others have said NSC is always here for you.

Another one who's only just seen this. So sorry for your loss, Hitony.
