hi folks.. ive not been about much for a while.. been at
the odd show over the past year & met a few face's while at them  but apart from that ive been busy
with family matters. sorry for this slightly dampening post but ive got to know a lot of you guy's on here over the yrs and just thought i'd explain as to why i went very quiet. ive been helping my dad take care of my mum since January 2010 when she was diagnosed with cancer 
but sadly after her 14 mth battle she lost her fight 2 wks ago to the disease. this came as a massive shock to my whole family & doctors as there was no warning of how bad she had got. my mum will always be the strongest woman ive ever known & she proved this even more over the past few mths. it's been a very sad time but we know mum is free of pain & she needs to fight no more. PS: i'll probably be looking for a space on many Scottish shows (if available) this coming season, just got to catch up again with some cleaning with my E30 as it's had a busy year on the roads. cheers guy's Ian x ------------- 2003-530i SE

Aww Ian its great to see you back and I am so sorry to hear your news. I however know exactly how you feel as I went through the same thing with both my mum and my dad over an 18 month period and its awful but as you say she is now free from pain. It will be good to see you so get you name down for whatever shows you want. Welcome back -------------  |

Ian - my condolences on your loss. I too can identify with how you feel. We lost my mother last month after a long fight with dementia, parkinson's and some other complications. No matter how much time you think you have to prepare for the loss its never enough but it will be a comfort in due course to realize that you did what you could to help ease her plight and suffering through her illness. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

Hi Ian, glad to have you back mate and very saddened to
hear of your dear loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Like many I know your pain all too well. I'm sorry I never got the chance to stop and have a chat on Sat when I passed but i had my dad in the car. Unfortunately with working away I won't get to many meets or shows this year but the next time I'm home I'll stop by and take you for a spin in the motor. I know these words will seem empty at the moment, but it does get easier, the best thing you can do as a family is stick together and support each other by thinking of all the great memories you have of your mum. take care mate stevie ------------- ///2000 E39 M5 Imola Red/// NO MORE una volta lei ha avuto l'italiano lei non andrà mai tedesco di nuovo haha |
