I am really sorry to hear about your situation. You and your wife are, in the midst of, or about to have to be, making some very difficult decisions, and the only thing that I can say is that my prayers are with both of you, and the baby.

P.S. BTW, I didn’t notice any “grumpiness”…. I just thought that was normal :)!
I usualy can’t stand people posting sob storys on forums especially people who post about there own illnesses, but this is very different, my heart goes out to you both. I can only hope you can make the right decision for all concerned.
thanks guys, I’ll be honest, the mods on tfe have been aware of this for a bit and have just been awesome, I am not in the least suprised that you are all being just as awesome, its why blf is a special place for me.
Grumpiness should be properly adjusted when the sun returns to more regular british levels rather than the stupid level its been at recently, I’m a fridge engineer by trade and needless to say, high ambients = very busy gords, this is not good for mrs gords as she’s having to deal with a lot of this on her own which adds guilt to my other hang ups.
Whatever will be will be, this was programed into either the successful sperm or successful egg, nothing anyone could do to predict it, no one to blame either, just a bit of a sickener to be honest.
I’m just glad I have this place and tfe to drop into, its helpful having people totally unattached to you in real life to talk to.
Gords, your story hits kind of close to home for me. All I can say is where there is life there is hope, so don’t give in to the negative thoughts. You and your’s will be in the Cone family prayers. Be strong and know that your invisible friends are pulling for ya.
I write grumpy posts caused by much less than what you are going through, and I find that to be ok on BLF, I have nice periods as well to compensate. Take care the upcoming time, hope things clear up a bit one way or another.
And if you feel like it you can always do a 'sorry for being grumpy all the time' flashlight giveaway .
Take care of the home front Gords. You have a nice big family for support and another one here for backup. I’m an ocean away, but my thought are with you.

hey bill, no worries on the prayers, I’m not a believer myself but I appreciate the sentiment from others, your right about bury being on the doorstep too I’m up there more than you can imagine with work, heck I was in whitefield at half five this morning lol.
Djozz, once funds are settled I may just do another giveaway, I don’t even want to talk about what’s going out in the next month, I could buy a few deft x’s though for the same cash……I’m not flush with cash by any stretch of the imagination, that’s for sure, but a giveaway is not unlikely to happen for whatever reason.
Graham, you are in my prayers. My pastor went thru the same. And I’m undergoing some issues myself. Here’s an excerpt from the prayer of serenity for you pls :
“God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.”
