"A pin at the zoo". Is that the Scottish version of a needle in a haystack?

Not to put a damper on this - I've re-read this thread alot. It is quite eerie how DL and Simon were diagnosed, things seemed better, and then tanked...and that his last post was about Simon.

emotions are so very still raw - started family counseling for my daughter, and we as parents this week.

Good luck, Coop. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Hope it helps, Coop.

I'm proud of you for seeking counseling MC. I imagine I would need quite a bit of 3rd party input on how to best cope with the overwhelming emotions of such an event.

Best of luck to your family as all of you seek some solace in this time of grieving.

Hi all, this is sweet baby Eloise. 2 weeks old.

Great pictures, Crafty. Congratulations!

Excellent pictures, Crafty. And Eloise..... Great name.

Coop. Hoping and praying your family manage to get through this. Like Panoptes, I just can't comprehend this loss. Counselling would be the only way forward for me.

My youngest son Scott is going to one of his friends funeral today. Young Martin was innocently sitting on a railing in Edinburgh, and suddenly slipped backwards and fell 40 foot to his death. Yes, he shouldn't have been sitting on a railing with a 40 FT backdrop onto concrete...... But he was a young, confident 20 year old, and an absolute gem of a lad. My son looks terrible, he hasn't stopped crying all week.

Wow, that's rough, Marko. Hope your son can get through it. RIP Martin.

It's been a totally insane week, LFIJ. I was at the plumbing merchants, and Peter who works there told about the branch manager being off work indefinitely due to his son being killed. His name is Martin too. I said that was weird because my sons pal Martin was also killed. Turns out that Martin senior is young Martins dad. All these years and I never made the connection that Scott's pal Martin was Martin at the merchants son.
