Title: Londonpokergirl and Tank are the best folk in the world Post by: madasahatstand on August 10, 2006, 07:07:45 PM Im still stunned as im writing this. a few of you know that my mum passed away recently. Its been devastating and I don't think it will ever stop being that way. I miss her so much and am totally at a loss.
My mum loved space, as I do, and she used to say that one day she would be taken away from it all by a spaceman. I hope she was :) Anyway Mel and Tank have done the most wonderful thing you can ever imagine and they have named a star after my mum. they have the picture for me and the co-ordinates of where the star can be found. ill need to get out my telescope:) i really cant believe their kindness and thoughtfulness and last night when Tank told me, I was very tearful, but the tears were happy ones. I think you have helped me heal just a little and I will never ever forget your kindness. The 2 of you have hearts of gold. I don't know what else to say but I am still stunned. a million thank you's to you both madxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Title: Re: Londonpokergirl and Tank are the best folk in the world Post by: Claw75 on August 10, 2006, 07:16:19 PM Wow what an amazing gesture - your post brought a lump to my throat Mad.

As for yours and your mum’s passion for space and the cosmos etc, I must tell you of a series that is currently being shown here in the US. The series is called Cosmos and actually goes back to the 70’s but has been recently digitally revamped. I must also mention the presenter who is called Carl Sagan. Carl sadly passed away around 1997 but listening to this man describe his passion for life and of the cosmos will bring tears to your eyes. He is like a little boy who is in total awe of everything that goes into forming the cosmos - try and watch this series if you can. In fact, if you visit this link http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=pd_sl_aw_tops-1_blended_11403547_2/103-2852637-4109411?search-alias=aps&keywords=cosmos%20carl%20sagan - it has details of the series and is available on DVD. BTW, Carl had his ashes launched into space and will orbit the earth for a further 35 years - both my wife and I are looking into doing the same.

Title: Re: Londonpokergirl and Tank are the best folk in the world Post by: tikay on August 12, 2006, 11:17:12 AM Mad, I never knew your Mum had passed away, I'm so sorry. Give it time, &, eventually, you will be at one with her again, you down here, & Mum up there. My Dad went to Heaven nearly 30 years ago, but we still chat every day, about everything, & he's still my best mate. Still tells me off, too! Be strong. It will take some time, but I promise, eventually, you will be together again, just as my Dad & I still are. xx Title: Re: Londonpokergirl and Tank are the best folk in the world Post by: madasahatstand on August 12, 2006, 11:40:57 AM thanks everyone and i hope you are right tikay. my dad also passsed away many years ago when i was 10. its pretty lonely being an orphan i must say. i talk to my mum all the time but there is no answer as yet. ill keep trying

I'm serious, I mean this. My Dad was not at all well, his quality of life was fading, constant pain & medication & stuff. But once he "went", everything was fine, he's free of pain now, & lives in a truly wonderful place. Believe Mad, believe. |
