Rough week
« on: December 17, 2023, 08:15:58 PM »
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.

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.

Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

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.
