Who do you miss?

[Typhoon Thompson]

Without question, my Grandparents (Dad's Mum and Dad). To say they adored me and my Sister would be the biggest undertatement ever. I just remember feeling like the most amazing thing ever created around them especially my Grandmother as Grandad died when I was about 8.

I found out around the age of 23 (around 10 years after Gradma died) that my Dad was adopted (no one bothered to tell me it was just assumed that I knew). Then it me why they loved us so much, we were the Grandchildren they thought they would never have as they could not have kids of their own (and Grandma was a midwife which must have really sucked).

I dont believe in an afterlife, but the thought of seeing them again makes me hope there is one.

I miss my Nan (mum's mum) she passed way way back in 1986 & everyday to this very day I still think about her & it's still so painful that I cant go to her grave, I just become a total emotional wreck.

I had so many great memories in the short time I knew her (I wa 9 when she went)
Saturday afternoons spent watching Wrestling & the evening gameshow's (Price is right being our fave) are times I'll never forget

She had Cancer & I watched her detriorate before my eyes as she lived with us at the time & it was the most painful thing I've ever seen.
My mum knew her time was coming & me & my brother were sent to friends to make things easier for my mum to cope with.
I still remember hearing the words from my mums friend like it was yesterday & I just cried for hrs
I never went to her funeral either & I still to this day kick myself for not going to say goodbye but I also think that being so young at the time I dont know how it would have been.

My username here & elsewhere is actually in memory of her, on my last birthday when she was well (1985) she bought me Soundwave as my gift & he instantly became my favourite TF & I use his name to keep her memory alive & her near me always.

I miss her so much.
I just hope that one day I'll see her again.

I also miss my Grandad who died in 1997 & my other nan who only recently passed in September this year (both my dad's parents) but it's my mum's mum who I simply miss the most.

I miss my dad, who died of a Brain Tumor in 2007. For the after he was diagnosed I was under the impression he'd get better, especially after it's removal a week after they found it. But it just got worse and he passed away before he was 50.

I miss him the most if I have a dream and he is there then I wake up and realise he isn't

This.

My dad had lung cancer that metastasised to his brain and he died just under a year after his initial diagnosis. He was 48. I got really angry about it afterwards. I still am in many ways.

I also miss the girl that I had a thing for when I was in secondary school. Unrequited teenage love, basically. I wish I could travel back in time and knock some sense into me sometimes!

Condolences to you Barrie, been through a similar loss and had that anger for a long time


On a lighter note god i wish i could go back and stop me acting such a tit over one certain girl in my last year of school, cringe! Way out of my league

Thanks James. It's funny how a friend of mine put it after it happened: "It's natural to feel angry afterwards. At least I hope so, or I just punched all of those kids in school after my mum died because I was an a***hole."

On that lighter note, cringing about the way you behaved in front of girls you liked in school seems to be widespread. I expect my final act shall be a shudder in my deathbed as I recall something particularly embarrassing.

My mum, died 2005.

Totally fecked my head and still has to some extent although not so much know.

Im only just starting to feel like xmas again this year after 4 years.

[fishbowlhead]

My grandad on my mums side. A constant source of knowlege and wisdom that I haven't had the pleasure of having a conversation with for over ten years now. My biggest regret was not playing one final game of rummy with him the day before he died, i had a massive row with my sister and just didn't want to talk to anyone, the tone in his voice when he said "oh, ok then son maybe another time" breaks my heart to this day, he knew there wasn't going to be another chance. I haven't played cards since that day of any kind, it just wouldn't be the same.

[gunrock]

Don't take this a being insincere, but all of your heart breaking stories of loss really touched me. I count myself lucky that I still have both my parents (just, my dad was touch and go a couple of years ago, but he's now part machine and doing okay).

I miss my Grandad. He was quiet and gentle, but he died when I was 17 and I never got to relate to him as an adult, i.e on my own and on my own terms. I loved all my grandparents but he was my only grandfather, as my Mum's dad died when she was a kid, so I felt a bond with him (being my Dad's dad and looking like him, too, I guess). A proud, independent man's man. Miss you, Grandad.

On a lighter note, in terms of ntsc-uk'ers who have been banned or flown the nest, I kind of miss the crazy posts that used to flow out of snowman's fingers; he was like a joke account, his stuff was so unbelievable. And what about 007? Every week he'd post some crap about his on/off "relationship" with some chavvy slapper, how he'd messed up the best thing in his life. He would post asking for advice and then shoot it all down and go and make things ten times worse. Always fun. Good times.

He's still doing that on rllmuk, don't worry. Grown up a lot now though with some posh job.

I'm fairly lucky in that I still have my direct family. My aunt died a few years ago after a terrible battle with cancer at a fairly young age and I do miss her. I take comfort in the fact that her last year was so bad though that she is better off now.

I miss some friends from school/college/uni etc too. Drifting apart is all too easy to do.

Firstly, commiserations in regards to your Aunt's illness and death. I think that your positive view is the right way to go.

Regarding 007, what's his forum name over at the muk? Interested to see how he's turned out (as he foolishness here could be mostly attributed to being just a kid).

[Darwock]

In a similar vein, what about Dark Angel and muse hunter? Not that I miss them you understand, just curious.

No need to offer commiserations dude, we all have stuff like this to cope with and there are a hundred million people with far more on their mind than me.

As for 007, this all feels a bit sinister for some mad reason but he's Double O over there.

There's another forum (that we didn't use to be able to mention here) that has some real blasts from the past names wise. Maybe they're on there. DA used to be a few years ago when I last looked.

I miss my Bampi, he died when I was 12 (I'm now 30) around Christmas time. Infact, I lost both by Grandfathers in the space of one week that Christmas. I wasn't close to the other one. I was with my Bampi the day he died, we had been shopping in Tesco and he was struggling with the cold weather and the bags we had to carry. His lungs were buggered due to years of chain smoking and he collapsed that evening.


People always tell me how I am incredibly similar to my Bampi, we have the same personality traits and I look like he did at my age. I've still got the snooker cue he bought me years ago after I beat him in a match. He was a hell of a player.

Ha! The first name I though of, once you said posh job, was Double O!! Are you sure that's him? 007 was a joke(r), are you now saying he's a international jetset hotshot of the financial world and pussy magnet to boot!!???

As for muse hunter, he still plys his trade in odd posts over at rllmuk, too.
