Sorry for your loss, Space.
Coming up to 60 soon, so class of 1980, and had a long spell of few funerals.
The one a year have mainly been over people over 70.
However, have 2 old school mates won't see the Summer months.
One a nice lady whose first Grandchild will be born in August, so that's a sad as fuck thought.
Other is a an old mate who organises the school get togethers. Last saw him a year ago amongst 12 of us in Hebden Bridge and he was drinking fit. 9 months later he spent his 60th in a Hospice near Bolton.
Found out last week that a bloke who I know who ran my Manchester local throughout the 90s has had a massive stroke, so no movement all down one side. He's aged 59 and 4 days younger than me, ex-Navy.
Been to see him and it wasn't good. I can be jovial but this was a tough gig. See how his recovery goes.
As said a year or so ago when Terry Hall died..."they're picking from our pot now".
Said in a roll eyes sarcastic manner, but it's true.
Just got to crack on and make the most it all while we can enjoy life.
Today is the youngest we can ever be. And in 5 years time, we will wish we were 5 years younger.
