Reply With QuoteI know you're not looking for sympathy, and far be it from me to think you would want it from me of all people. All I will say is that I hope that you have the best of all possible outcomes.
About gary speed. I thought id copy and paste this on here. Putting things into perspective like.
life is precious but we sometimes let the crap assume a significance that makes wanting to live really, really difficult. Heaven knows, most of us have our demons. Knew somebody who commited suicide because of workplace pressures and bullying. Just 25. Even now, 30 years on, you wonder about the pain, the anguish that forces somebody to kill themselves. Did anybody recognise what was happening, did anybody care?
A month ago I would have swapped places with almost anybody. In that time, there has been the M5 fireball, soldiers have died in Afghanistan, merchant seamen drowned, deaths in Syria and Egypt, Gary Speed. Most probably woke on their last morning not thinking it was their last day; all were healthier than me (relatively) and probably had a life to look forward to.
I'm not looking for empathy, sympathy or nastiness; just reflecting on how fragile life is. A month ago I was told I have got cancer. I want to live but equally I can understand the despair when people choose to die.

Oh well I am pleased that this doesn't apply to you. We may have had our strong disagreements at times, and may do in the future. Today's news really does put everything into perspective though.
I'd echo that, too. I was trying to get to bottom of my football apathy, and came to the conclusion that it was mainly a matter of context.
