At the moment I am dealing with the sudden unexpected death of my partner, Katie, and the well-being of her nine year old daughter, including starting the long process to legally adopt her.
My attention is firmly focused on this, not a car.
The car is 250 miles away in one of my holiday property garages, I’ve only seen it myself for a couple of minutes and I haven’t even driven it yet.
When (if?) my life gets back to normal then it’ll appear.
I am saddened to hear your news. Thoughts are with you and your family; especially your 9 year old. Life can be very cruel.

Please accept my heartfelt apology for asking the question - albeit innocently - earlier. It's at times like this that one remembers that the only important things are our families, friends and relationships ; cars, although precious when the time is right, are just objects. Look after yourself.

I did know all this Saturday when ian saw me but left it to ian to explain the devastating news his thoughts are with the 9 year old I wish him all the luck in the world with this ..his priorities are in the right place ..my best wishes ian ? Paul
 
Ian told me as well on Friday, I can't imagine how he's holding up let alone so well, and as for what the poor young girl must be going through, I simply can't find the words. My condolences on the loss coming out of the blue, and absolute respect for starting the adoption process.
 
I'm very sadden to hear about your loss. The car has waited 16 years or so - it (and we) can wait a bit longer while you try to get your life sorted out including the young daughter. I hope things work out as you wish for both of you.

I also new about Ian’s very sad lose last Tuesday I absolutely don’t have the words and cannot image how Ian is feeling
If he didn’t have bad luck he would have no luck at all
I also hope things go well with the adoption of Katie’s daughter and that you can both comfort one enough through the coming weeks and months
all the best my friend, hope to see you soon

Such sad news, although I do not know Ian my thoughts and best wishes go out to him and his loved ones.
 
What can any of us say Ian?
As much as we all love our wee cars, these moments clarify once again the realities of life and death, and the pain of losing those we love dearly. The camaraderie even of the A2OC shows us that we a social creatures, who struggle most when we are alone. The precious nine year old lassie will be feeling the pain and confusion of it all, which will not easily pass. Your commitment to her is so important, and I’m sure she knows that already. Adoption is a potent mark of your love.

I’ve no idea what your own beliefs are, nor would I try to impose on you at a time like this, but I will indeed try to pray for you and for Katie’s daughter. From this distance there is so little we can do for one another. I hope that doesn’t offend you at all, not my intention in the slightest.

Every blessing,
Greg

So sorry to hear your news.
 
In the interests of affording Ian and his family the best peace we can at this most tragic time, I’m locking this thread until the time is right for it to be reopened, whenever that might be.

On behalf of the admin team and all members, we endorse all of the messages of condolence that have been sent to-date and add our own deepest sympathies to Ian and his family. Your A2OC family is here for you however and whenever you need us.
