I'm so sorry Bill, sometimes life just isn't fair. I hope you and your wife can find the strength to cope and that friends and family can help support you. I hope you can find some support here, it was brave of you to tell us. May he go peacefully.

Bill - our thoughts are with you and your family. A friend lost her son in very similar circumstances just before Christmas - it's very hard. I am so sorry.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It's hard to come on and chat knowing what Bill is suffering but I think we should try and be "normal". For a while he only posted on other threads but has joined us on here "when he found us " and obviously sees us as friends so I don't think he would mind, and would expect us to chat away.
People will still post kind thoughts for him and I'm sure he'll read them another day.
I agree KEF, whilst we feel an enormous amount of sorrow for Bill and his family, I'm sure he will also enjoy reading our light hearted 'chit chat' when he is able to pop in.
I've been giving the GH's an airing and things are all looking well. Saying that, not wanting to tempt fate, we haven't had extreme cold here, yet. Not done much else as I've managed to crick my neck. It was okay at bedtime but by 3am it was broken OH says it's due to spying out of the window at next door but one's garden, before they put their fence panel back in.
I pruned a couple of roses and tidied up some shrubs and on the way to the bonfire realised that OH still hadn't cut the hornbeam hedge that he started in September. He said leave it to him and what with all the rain and that it's at the bottom of the garden behind the shrub and tree area it was "out of sight, out of mind". He'd done about a third of it. Anyway, I've finished it, now have aching shoulders. It's a double hedge about 40 metres long, which makes 80 metres. Finished just as the rain started! Feel virtuous!

Bill, I hope the end is as peaceful as possible and that you are able to spend some time with him.
