JP (John Pruden) Tough Times
Hello to ALL.
JP has asked me to post this info for him.
At present he is not able to get on site, due to his Family having some terrible times, with Sickness and other. His dear Wife Barb, has been in Hospital for over Three Weeks now with Double Pneumonia , and also has developed Sepsis, which as we know is a terrible ailment, and so very painful.
He also has issues with his Granddaughters, i wont go int that, and will leave it to him, when he finally gets back online .
He is feeling at his Lowest Point at this time , so i think we should as Friends just give him a Pick up of sorts Lads!
He says he misses the site and hopes to be back as soon as possible.
So there i will leave it.
Cheers

Re: JP (John Pruden) Tough Times
Agree with Vic JP , know it is easy to say , but we are all of an age where family members are very sick at times and all we can do is learn to live with it , we all at some time go through these episodes and hope to come through it ok. It is a fact of getting old and finally realising it. I know the feeling well as others do. So can only reiterate Vics message. Cheers and never give in to misfortune . JS.

Re: JP (John Pruden) Tough Times
They say worse things happen at sea, ********! Illness and the welfare of family is the worst that can happen.
Stay strong John and we all send our best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery for your wife and family members.
