One of the best cycling blogs out there. Seems things have been hard on Fatty and Susan.

Best of luck, you two.

Yep, I've been reading for a while, but hadn't been back for some time. BikeSnob (another superb cycling blog) pointed me back that way and I read......lots.

I'm glad he's writing about it... there are be plenty of people out there who are going through, or have been through a similar situation.

I read it a while ago, but found it too hard and stopped. Though he (and she) have been so brave in sharing, I felt like I was intruding on a still private grief.

Went through that senario with a ex's dad. When he passed on it was a mixture of relief and sorrow. Sorry cant read it brings back a lot of stuff I hadn't thought about in years.

I saw bikesnob's post on Fatty the other day, but i didn't know exactly what it was about. I've just read a few months of his blog now and i'm nearly bloody welling up in the office. Its all far too close to home - my mum has ovarian cancer with distant metasasis. I wish i could express my feelings as openly and eloquently as him.

yeah his blog has been in my feed reader for a while now, and I'll admit I often skip it, as I find it a bit too depressing.

If expressing his feelings on the internet makes thegrieving process easier then more power to him. I'm not sure I could do the same in that situation.

A few years ago my dady died from Parkinson's Disease. He had it for 10 Years the final 6 months were terrible for everyone - I can certainly sympathise with Fatty - Being a career is a very hard job and very upsetting and tiring! 24hours unlike most peoples jobs!

Sorry not an excuse to post up sad stuff etc!
