Devastated

I was sat watching our local news (Look North) tonight when I saw an old friend almost in tears appear on screen. He had just met the Queen as Patron of a Motoneurone Centre in Sheffield which he had taken an interest in when his son was taken by the desease earlier this year. The shock was that I knew the son, he was Junior Captain of a Roundhay GC team that won a number of  Trophies and I have a photo of one of the teams on my office wall. Two of the four players are now no longer with us. I am only 54yr old and find it devastating that only two of them are still with us, after all they were only kids back in the mid 80's.

So to Shaun Keane & Chris Lee, R.I.P.

One of the unfortunate phases in our lives when you start going to mates funerals instead of parents David.  Motor neurone has got to be one of the most hateful diseases going, I had to watch a friend going from a fit middle aged man to total bed-ridden dependence in 18 months.  Horrible.  

My father in law also died from motor neurone and lasted a year from diagnosis to end. Awful way to go.
