Dear all, and especially Dai’s family,
I’m very late to add my condolences. I think in some way I didn’t really want to believe it was true, and like others have said it was such a shock when I read the sad news: Dai was such an institution on here. Since that’s how it came across even in messages on a forum and never having met him, I can only begin to imagine what a character he must have been for all of you who knew him in ‘real life’, as it were. You must be missing him a lot, and left with a big hole – but also a lot of very fond and vivid memories! It’s great to see the story in the paper and read a little of what else he’d done.
Many thanks to Dai – as to all the others on the forum – for all the words of wisdom given even during the toughest of times. I didn’t think myeloma would ever get the better of him – but then again he clearly wrung every last drop out of life and kept fighting on to the vrey last minute the latest drugs would allow, so in that sense I don’t really think it did, he definitely came out on top.
All the best,
Helen
