    Crying my eyes out at Andy's letter. What a man he was.... it shows who you've lost, and how much you've lost, very clearly, Weller. None of this is consolation now, as lenny says, its for the years to come.

    Andy was a wonderful man, and the laughter, including his joke in the hospital about the fish fingers, will be very precious to you.

    All the best.

    Oh Weller,
    What can I say?
    Beautiful, funny, touching. It makes me appreciate what I have and to cherish it. He obviously loved you will all his heart and you are so blessed to have had that in your life.

    I wish I could just sit with you and hug you and let you cry babe. x

    When I was at a low ebb a couple of years ago, Weller did something for me that showed what a lovely person she was. Andy was right about her! She is one of many good and giving people on this board.

    If I can do anything for you Weller, feel free to let me know..

    As an aside I note that Martin has a poll for which charities to support - maybe we could support a charity of Wellers choice in Andys name, or is that a bit of a stupid suggestion.

    As you mentioned it Sammy, I was thinking about, we could set up a just giving page for a cancer charity and donate for Andy.

    Weller thank you for sharing something so personal and precious. Whilst it won't be much consolation now, in time you will be pleased that you were there laughing together in the hospital with Andy. You will get through this and your children will be there to help you every step of the way. There are many many people on here who care and want to help in any way they can, be it an eye to read, an ear to listen or simply a cyber hug. xx

    Weller

    I dont know what to say but I didnt not want to say anything (if that makes sense)

    You are in my thoughts ~ your darling Andy was one in a million.

    I am taking great solace and comfort from the words of others about how wonderful my mum was, I hope that you can do the same.

    All my love
