Well Being

42 years ago on this day, we lost my Dad at the age of 51, to a heart attack, after several strokes and he wouldn't heed the warnings about smoking and cutting back on the bevvy
February 7th, never a good day for me and my family
Hold your family in your heart, as you never know what's round the corner
This was a Saturday morning and I was about to head out to see a game
The wee man was my hero

Really sorry to hear D , quite incredibly I lost my wee ma on the 7th February 2016 to illness.

My wee ma suffered badly from dementia at 74 she also had a massive stroke that took her sight, that coupled with the dementia meant that when the angels came for her 2016 it was a mercy 🥺 as difficult as it it to say that it's true.

I'll be adding your Da to my we ma's prayers buddy YNWA 🍀

Appreciate it mate, and thank you
Sorry to hear about your Mum, and what she went through
Although it's been all those years, it's amazing, some of the memories that come flooding back, and make me smile
My Dad was a much loved, very funny man
Dementia has touched our family too, it's such a terrible thing to go through with a beloved family member

Thoughts are with you mate. We may get used to living without them over time but we never really accept it. That’s not a bad thing as it means we keep them with us 💚

Was at a former team mates 'celebration of life' yesterday
We worked for the same company and played on the same team, great wee guy, and what a player he was
It was good seeing so many old friends, ad we are now making a concerted effort to keep in touch better
Some I hadn't seen in more than twenty years, and every one of us admitted although it was under very sad circumstances, we will definitely be getting together more often
We're here for a good time, not a long time

Stay safe

Was at Prostatefit tonight and Sky sports were there to film a wee bit about what's going on and how this course is helping men with prostate cancer.
I'll inform you all when the film is on and you can watch and have a laugh at unfit old men running about like wee Boys ,I am also one of the folk interviewed unless they cut that piece 😊(probably )

pished tonight, stoned too, more than in a long time.....
logged in and 'well being' caught my eye
what is well being i pondered deeply before realising my empty glass

took me right back to last month, ex called me, a hospital experience with wee one....
When your in a room one minute with a nurse then she leaves the room and 8 people come back in a tizzy, then a minute later your in ambulance, blue lights etc, you shit yourself.
Ultimately nothing other than a virus, no issues.... but when i pondered 'well being' all i came up with was my well being aint about my well being now.
Its dependent on the well being of others....if those you care about are well, thats all you can ask for really, Just a thought, shared among family

I should really get a short story maybe a chapter in Dr Fis next audio book with that offering

Glad everything turned out Ok with the wee one
It really is, like you say, the well being of those you hold dearest, that is the priority
You're a good man, and a great Dad, and that's all that you can ask for
When I go, I just want people to say I was ok

I"m glad everything turned out OK for your family. They are always our number 1 priority in life so hope there are no lasting ill effects. Take care.

First off: a huge thank you to Marky for starting this thread; it brings home the reality of what's important in life.
Posts and stories, such as STG-l shared with us above, show the value of having a group of trusted friends we can open up to; people with warmth and humility to spare, coupled with a generosity of spirit

As always, when STG-l opens his mouth, nothing but commonsense, allied to the wisdom we expect from our Inverclyde Noisers, is there in all its glorious clarity.

The well being of others? Yes, there can be no doubt the health and well being of those we love affects us all in many different ways.

At present I have two brothers and a sister with health problems of the kind nobody would wish on his or her most despised enemy. They need help; so, of course, everything else gets put to the side, and we as a family just pull together and provide that help.

I'm actually spending most of my days between Glasgow and Renfrewshire. That's not a complaint; it just so happens to be what's needed, so, it gets done.

I guess it could be said I'm seeing life's inevitable down side. The passing years sometimes bring along unwelcome attendant miseries.

There is, of course, another side to life. The limited time I get to spend with my five grandchildren these days is the most perfect antidote to the depressing lows brought on by the illnesses of my siblings.

Apologies if I'm goin' on a bit here folks. Just life I guess!
Good health, and good fortune to all of you.

Another excellent post Frank (except for the bit saying that when STG opens his mouth, nothing but common sense comes out - have your read some of his late night posts??? ;) just kidding, pal).

As you rightly point out, there are a lot of issues that many of us are dealing with in real life so it is always important to try to remain civil to other posters when disagreeing with them.

Do not apologise for sharing your concerns with people on here - we care about you and are here for any support you may need or even just to be a soundboard if you need to let off steam about anything that worries you or annoys you.

I hope things get easier for your loved ones and i'm sending you best wishes. Take care fella. YNWA.

Sending my best to you, and yours Frank
Have been to 2 former workmates 'celebrations of life' in the past month, and just heard yesterday, that another guy I worked with for years, has passed away
While health concerns are part and parcel of the aging process, it hammers home the need to be more involved in the lives of loved ones, and great friends
SmellyG, the Scarlet Pimpernel of the noise, not on often, but when he does visit, he leaves an impression, sort of like Zorro, only to disappear once more
Stay safe Bhoys and Ghirls

Your experience resonated with me Smelly. Many years ago I had to sit outside the Intensive Care as the medics tried to stop my youngest's organs from failing. I was warned that she might not make it through the night and I sat throughout the night feeling absolutely numb and I knew that if they couldn't turn things around then all I would feel for the rest of my life was numbness.

Thankfully she recovered but I never forget that night and the amount of perspective on life it gave me.

My thoughts with you and yours Frank, life brings us such joy and blessings, but there is always a price to pay at the other end. These guys will be grateful for you, i know you'll do your utmost for them. My maw has a saying 'there are those that are with you when its toughest and you need help and there are those that are there at the end when its too late for help looking for headlines..... its not the same thing'... i know your in the trenches from day 1
Your humility and compassion are what makes you pal.........not your fitba offerings :)
