Not a great day for me as i have the funeral of a very close friend today and it will be my first time to attend a berial.
He was taken from us sudenly last week, found on his sofa asleep and could not be woken, we have been told it was a massive brain hemeridge :(

Sometimes life is so not fair and it always seams the good ones are taken to soon and the bad left to long.

Hope this rain stops as its going to be bad enought with out it :(

Just thought i had to share this with you guys.

I know how you feel . The last few months have been bad for me as well.

I lost a friend to Lukemia in March , he had been fighting it for a year and I gave platelets several times. He was just 26.

Then in May a close friend lost his father to a brain tumour and then on Sunday my best friend lost his father in law.

The last was the unexpected one , he was absolutely fine and then started developing chest pains. They rushed him to hospital and he died in the ICU a few hours later. I was at his prayer ceremony yesterday and there must have been 3000 people there. He was a good man.

I am very sorry John , hang in there mate. I lost my uncle last year , he was a father to me. As you said life can seem unfair and one wonders why good people are taken away from us while true bastards last too long.
My condolences.

We were at the funeral of my little brother's friend who was killed on his motorcycle at 25 two weeks ago. Had a 2 year old girl and his wife is pregnant. Very sad indeed. Hang in there and my condolences. :(

I was at my grandfather's funeral last Friday. He'd been in hospital for some test and contracted pneumonia. On the Sunday he was walking around, on Tuesday he was dead. :( The funeral was doubly hard for me, as it was held in the same chapel as my father's service and brought back so many painful memories. :(

Its a very scary thought Geoff. But something that that has been going on in my mind for the past few months. I support a family of 4 . They are totally dependant on me. A wife, child, mother and grandmother.

If you haven't already, Suhail, buy as much life insurance as you can qualify for and afford.

In my business I've seen the results on surviving family members when the deceased had adequate life insurance, and when he/she didn't.

Plenty of insurance ! and of course a fully paid for home and offices in case the worst does happen and they need to sell.

But that doesnt take the fear away :( One always fears that someone will take advantage of them .
