Hey everyone,
It's been a rough week in my life. Tuesday on December 5, my daughter called and informed me she had leukemia. Thursday a biopsy confirmed and she started her treatment on Saturday (the 9th). Tuesday last at 8:51am, she passed from complications of leukemia. Strange enough, my favourite uncle died four hours prior after a long battle with bone cancer.
My elderly parents happened to be flying home to visit my uncle but he passed before they could see him. Little did they know I would be flying home too as they would also be helping bury my daughter. She would of been 24 this Friday. Funeral is this Tuesday, exactly two weeks from when she first called me.
She loved flying sims, and would sometimes join me flying online in IL2 and here in the WWI arena. She had a big heart, and showed everyone she met love. She leaves behind a husband and an 8 year old grandson who I also love very much and have connected with.
To my princess of the sky, you are always with me.

I can't imagine. I have 2 young daughters. Not sure what to say other then you are in our prayers.

My deepest condolences. So very sorry for your loss.

Oh, lord, Fork, I am so sorry. I share your nightmare, as you know.
I remember how strangely it was physically exhausting, even though I wasn't doing anything strenuous. Try to get some rest, stay away from the bottle as much as possible. There really is no way around the next few months, and there are years after that. Thank the heavens that the boy has a father, so that he and you and your beautiful wife can help him over these days and years.
The best thing about this game is that you make friends for life, even if you'll never meet them in person. You can find comfort here. You know that, because of the past and because you came here today. Share with us. Please.

Wow, Mr. Fork, so sorry to hear. My condolences to you and your family. :pray your daughter seemed like an awesome person.
I'm suspicious of the hospitals treatment. Seems like to be diagnosed only to pass away a few days later after treatment is very suspect to me. Such a shame.
-
Very sorry to hear that Mr. Fork.
-
Sorry for the loss of your Daughter and Uncle Mr Fork. :salute
-
There's nothing that can be said to make this easier to endure but one thing I've learned over the years is don't give up the memories to avoid pain. That pain becomes more bitter sweet than depressing over time.
-
I am so sorry Mister Fork, the little boy will need every caring family-member he can get now. Sterkte :salute
-
I am so very sorry that this happened. Nothing I can say will make it better, though I wish it could. I pray that God welcomed them home into His arms and that He provides some comfort to you and the rest of the family.
-
My sincerest condolences. Although I guess I've never played with or against you, as a father of two daughters of 25 and 28 the thought of suddenly losing either is something I don't even want to think about. :salute :pray
-
My condolences Mister Fork.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Mr. Fork.

If your daughter had any drawings or designs she doodled, maybe we could come up with a “princess of the sky

Damn Fork, I'm so sorry bud. You and your family are in my prayers. :(

Thanks everyone for the kind words. We had a lovely service and I wrote her a poem that I read out. An error correction - she was 33. She would have turned 34 tomorrow.
I’ve really connected with my grandson again. He’s a bit of a firecracker just like his mom.
Note to self. When flying with two bags of sugar in your carryon, looks a lot like two bags of coke or C4. It was a little exciting for a bit when I went through airport security yesterday morning on the flight home. :rolleyes:
