TITANIC 4 YOU CHAT FORUMS

Hi Webmaster or any admin present and reading this,
I understand from the webmasters post elsewhere that Passenger 47 would be absent due to a family bereavement. Any Ideas how long this will be, I would have thought tat by still loggin in here it would have taken his mind off things for a while and help him through.

Hi Westmore,
I think your post here is unwarranted. The Webmaster did indeed post why Passenger 47 Gary would be missing,
The loss of someone very close is very upsetting and it affects people in different ways.
I am sure when Passenger 47 feels up to it he will be back posting again, Just look at his post count to see that he is a very prolific poster But as I say let him return here when he is ready.

Hello to all taking part in this topic. I would ask that you all try and bare with me during this extremely upsetting and traumatic time in our familie's life. I am currently on a 'rota-system' for want of a better description with my sister in sharing the task of being with my 80 year old mother and looking after her as she prepares to say her final farewell to my father this coming Wednesday.

I am spending some time with my mother in my parents home and there is no internet access there, and I am also spending time at my sister's home to be with by mother while my sister is attending to the floral arrangements and other matters associated with my father's passing.

I promise you all I have not deserted you, but despite what has been suggested, at this present moment in time, nothing can take my mind off of what I am about to do......bid a farewell to my father as I lay him to rest.

Folks, I know you all mean well and I really do appreciate your concerns, but I really would appreciate it if instead of posting about me and my recent loss openly to these forums, if you were instead to contact me in private via the PM facility or via email.

I am hoping to make a slow and gradual return back to the forums as from next weekend.

Thank You.

Hi Passenger 47/ Take all the time you wish my friend, I have never had the pleasure of exchanging messages with you.
But please accept my deepest condolences. I know exactly what your going through as I lost my dear father in October last year.
They say that time is a great healer, which is true, but that does not happen overnight.
Lets hope that others will read the webmasters post on you being away from the site and realize what a traumatic time it is for you.

Thank you Dimitri. Today has been perhaps the hardest, longest and most upsetting day in my life. How my family and I got through it, I shall never know. But we did. Now, somehow, life must go on. I would like to thank all of you that have sent me your condolences, and to those of you that have sent me private messages, I assure you I will respond to you as soon as I can, but I just do not feel up to it at this present moment in time. I have read your Pms and I thank you for taking the time to contact me. I'm not ignoring you. I've just logged on briefly this evening to ensure you all that I have not deserted you or this site. My sister and I, we have between us had to organise everything and take turns to be with mum as we do not want to leave her on her own at this present moment in time, are both shattered and exhausted because, as you might imagine, we have had very little sleep since my dad passed away two weeks ago now.

Please bare with me as I attempt to get through the next few days and weeks and I give you my word I will be back and posting as soon as I can. At the moment, I am finding it hard enough, fighting back the tears, just to make this post. I know life has to go on and it will. My dad would want that and I can gain some comfort from the fact that he was given one of the most moving and poignant services at a funeral that I have ever attended. And my dad is now resting in one of the most beautiful cemetries I have ever known.

Thank you one and all for your support at this most difficult time in my life. I would also like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to our Webmaster, John, who, despite the second anniversary of the loss of his own dear wife, has been extremely supportive of me, contacting me on a daily basis to ensure my well-being and this has been of extreme comfort to me. Thank you John, you are a kind and wonderful man and I long for the day that we will at last meet in person face to face.
