Colin M Ford - 1944-2012

Post by MarkCDodd »

Uncle Colin died in his home surrounded by family in Oldbury last night.

It was terrible the way he suffered with the cancer for the last few months.

He was doped up on so much medication, plus the effects of the brain tumor, he really wasn't conscious of much.

Euthanasia should be available to those who want it.

Mum is taking it hard as she couldn't be there with him.

I am glad I got to spend a lot of time with him when he used to visit Australia.

Fondly remember being the translator between him and some of my Aussie relatives :P

Hard to believe we were all speaking English!

R.I.P Uncle Colin.

Sorry for your loss, Mark.

I definately agree about euthanasia. My husband and I have discussed that if either one of us is terminally ill and doesn't want to continue "life prolonging" treatment, then that's okay. Pain relief, however is a different matter.
I suppose my view is coloured by my job, and my husband watched his father go down hill slowly before he eventually passed away.

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
