I received a message from Bullheart last july/August. He read my post when Lyanda passed away and wanted to meet me and buy me and the kids some chips when they were down this way. I replied to him saying it would be an honour and a pleasure to meet him and to let me know when and we would meet up.
This unfortunately didn’t happen. After reading all the posts on here I have decided to post the initial message he sent. Not that it needs saying, but it just shows how selfless, compassionate and genuine Bullheart was. I really wish I had the opportunity to have met him.
Meg, even though we never met, if you need a chat or anything please get in touch with me. If you have access to Bullheart’s STW account, I sent him my number. If not, I will happily send it to you. If you ever find yourself down Carmarthen way, i would love to meet you and the kids and buy you all some chips, it’s the least I can do.
Again, sincerest condolences to you all.
Hello,
My name is Mark, and a long long time ago the good people of STW helped me out when I had just been informed that I was terminally ill. For the record, I’m not comparing it to your current situation, because I just don’t think I can even begin to comprehend what you are going through, but I’ve known the feeling of nothingness and being numb. I’m not even sure as to why I’m contacting you, b because I don’t know what to say other than this; true strength of character is rarely revealed when we are winning – more often than not it comes from utter darkness, when it appears all hope is lost. There’s something is the content of your posts that makes me suspect you’re the type of individual that will get through, over time, and in the process keep those under your care safe and loved. It won’t seem that way now, but slowly over time you’ll understand.
I’m over your way at the end of August – post chemo pre radiotherapy pootle, so to speak – and if you’re up for it I’ll gladly buy you and the kids a bag of chips. Just let me know.
Keep going. Don’t stop trying.
All the best,
Bullheart
