Thanks fellas. It helps, it really does.

It's been a testing time for me to say the least. Went on a 4 day trip to Lapland on the 16th December with my Wife and 8 year old Daughter. Lost both parents while I was away. Mum on the 17th and Dad on the 19th. They adored my Daughter and I know their attitude would have been "don't you dare spoil it for her" so just had to get on with it and tried to have as normal a Christmas as possible. They now have to have an inquest as my Dad's post mortem was unable to provide cause of death. On top of all that they lived pretty much next to the Irwell so don't know what I will find when I can get to their house. Can't get near at the moment due to road closures. 2016 can't come quick enough for me but I hope you all had a great Christmas.

Feel for you pal, such a huge loss. Not sure what to say, how do you console what has happened.

Lost both my parents in different circumstances but I still celebrate them every day.

Remember the good pal, you only get one.

No words will really help you mate - you just have to soldier on and get through it as best you can.
I feel for you.

Blimey mate, that's terrible news - my condolences to you and your family. It certainly puts into perspective people's usual xmas grumbles about sprouts that taste like shit and indigestion. Chin up feller
