Pete Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks Grateful and Frank. I just spotted this. Mum died about three months back. Her ill health just became to much and she had to many medical conditions hit all at once. If she had lived then things would have got a lot worse and she was already in a lot of pain. I am sure Mum's spirit got you blessings Thanks my friends for all your love and well wishes and Grateful and Qryros for giving me time when things were going through such tough times for me and Mum and Dad last year. Your all wonderful people. Edited September 12, 2013 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) I would like that thanks Grateful. I will try to see it on google maps. I know this is not the best way but it may give me an idea of the surroundings. I can imagine I am there too.As for the club, I agree its not one I liked much and I am sure you do not either. I thank you again for being there for me. It was greatly appreciated. I found this. It looks a lovely place to be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Diablo Edited September 14, 2013 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks Frank. I did not put it on line. I got a lot of support from Gateful and Qryos and that meant a lot to me. Dad died last year and Mum this year. Mum and Dad's death were long drawn out and cruelly painful and it unsettled me. Grateful and Qryos were a great help at that time. I know we never really say goodbye to those we love and I feel Mum and Dad often around me and I am sure I always will.Grateful I love the pictures. They are wonderful. Could you email them to me?----------------------------------------------------------------------I do not know how to say this, but I know everyone on the forum are there for me but I am still finding it hard to talk about what happened. I am sure you understand because your very wonderful people. I just ask for now to not continue on this topic. I am finding it is hard for me. Please forgive me.
