these are my reason for living and on monday was the first of many reasons to fight on
leo’s first day at school, 21 years after his mam posed in the same spot on her first day at the same school
biggusdickusgb:
… i missed all the kids growing up chasing the £s
i’m not making that mistake with the grandkids
let their parents chase the £s now and i’ll play with the kids all day long
There is nothing more I can say to you that has not already been said except that I feel for those grandkids who may not have a Grandad to play with them for much longer especially, like you, me & many others, we missed our own kid(s) growing up due to being the long working hours provider.
Not often I add my thoughts to these type of threads but for once, having followed Steves brave brave fight and refusal to bow down to this terrible disease, I have to say that I pray for you, matey … he is acknowledged among us who use another site as the Master of Music.
As someone else said, that Fat Lady isn’t singing yet, Steve
hiya,
what do you say at a time like, make the most of it steve give those grandkids something to remember, i remember this my grandad he was a lovely man and i loved him to bits i was only eight when he went but his memory is still vivid,thank you for your kind words to me and to other people on here who have had / have this horrible disease best of everything steve god bless you, thanks harry long retired.
Don’t really know what to say now it has actually come to the end.
I’ve been fighting a losing battle against pneumonia these last few weeks and was going to text rikki, jimbo, pat, and terry with what had happened, but then I was given a day at home today, so I can do it myself.
I’ve reached the end of the road with about another two or three weeks left until my body starts to pack up and when that happens I’ll be transferred up to a hospice in Bolton, I’ve been lucky to reach 2009, my consultant says it’ll be a miracle if I reach February.
I wont post again; my brother will let you know when it’s done via rikki.
Cheers, Steve
I’ve never met you personally Steve but have followed your story here, this is a very sad end to a story that we all hoped would end differently.
I hope the coming weeks will be as peaceful and pain free as possible for you Steve.
Under the circumstances I’m not sure if Merry Christmas is an appropriate thing to say but hopefully you’ll take some comfort and pleasure from being at home for Christmas day, I wish you the best Christmas possible mate.
Good luck Steve, I hope you’re in a position to make the most of what time there is and I wish you everything you could possibly wish for yourself

sorry steve, the thing is this forum with us long serving members are a bit like an extended family and im extremly sorry about everything thats going on with you. i know that you have all your family around you at this moment but if you need me for anything just give me a pm.
The more I read this thread,the more I realise how lucky I am.
I was fortunate to watch my Mum beat the Big C within the last few years,and only because I bollocked her for almost giving up.She is now suffering with other things that are not life threatening,but it has made me realise that life is short,and we need to enjoy everyday,and everything that we have around us.And as someone who had a major RTA a few years ago,it makes me grateful for what I have.
Steve,I salute you for your fighting spirit,and I’m sure you are an inspiration to your family.
For those who have not had the pleasure of meeting Steve there is a photo of him during happier times on this thread
There was a better one of him from the 2005 party I believe but I couldn’t find it.
We heard about this before Christmas and kind of held off before saying anything until it became common knowledge.
Steve, if you’re reading this, our thoughts are with you. If someone could PM me the address of your hospice when you get that far we’ll be certain to come and see you. (((HUGS)))
Hang in there, friend. The light is at the end of the tunnel, and this time there isn’t a toll. Just a very shiny Stralis with a ridiculous number of lights, loads of chrome, and a licence to take it wherever you please.
I have read this thread over and over and thought about what i want to say in reply to the latest news. But I simply dont have the words to put on here what I need to say. so I am probably going to say it very badly
Steve, I have worked with you and known you for a good few years, More than the majority here you know me, you are one of the few who I will accept a full blown bollocking off, and you have done… on quite a few occassions. A mark of a man in my view is the respect for who he is and that is one thing you have always had from me, my respect . you are your own man and bow down to no-one.
I am and will always be proud to call Bolton Steve- my friend.
At this time it is a time for your family… But you have our number (mine and Lucy’s) and if you need us for anything, just call…
thanks to all for the kind words, just a quick update on my condition.
the docs are keeping me going with pills and transfusions, and i’m allowed to live at home.
i know within the next week or so everything is going to stop working inside and then i will have to head for the hospice, but until then i’m enjoying seeing amanda, my kids and grandkids every day in comfort.
