indy Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I damn well hope so !!! in October 2009 my father died suddenly and unexpectedly from lung cancer and no-one even knew he had it unitl a few days after he went into hospital for a check up ...... I do feel however that 2010 will have a positive side to it ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry hayes Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 If Indy will forgive me, for most of us, looking back, it will rank amongst the best of times. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Been there Indy and I know what you mean. 2006/7 were my worst years ever Looking back on 2009 for me though it has not actualy been a particularly bad year. It's had it's little ups and downs along the way but nothing serious. Guess I am rather fortunate as I know a lot of people have had a **** year with things being as they are at the moment. Here's hoping that 2010 is a good year for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 the last six years have been bad in ways for me. father died of cancer mother in law died of ahlzeimers wife had two seizures and diagnosed as hypoparathyroidism me personally had heart attack mother had heart attack father in law diagnosed as having weak heart valve lost job but i will not say that things could be worse as that would be tempting fate. i am alive and looking forward to the new year with indifference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevofaz25 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Still vertical and had a brilliant 2009 after the tragedy of 2008 and losing my 15 year old daughter to epilepsy. If 2010 is half as good as 2009 I will be happy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LymmParent Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I joined the Forum and met you lot. Good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Each year is tragic and hopeful. 2009 was a struggle for me financially but not a terrible year. After reading every one else's posts I count myself lucky and my heart goes out to those that have had losses. Saying I understand would not lighten the loss. But as Lymm says - having this forum and all you wonderful people to interact with made it a whole lot better! Looking forward to 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Every years a good year for me because I'm alive and more fortunate than many others in this world. Every year should and can be good just as long as you don?t dwell too much on the curved balls that life seems to chuck at us. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
