oafcprozac Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) there was a little snippet in Saturday's programme about Andy losing his daughter, this really is a tragedy an I am sure all fellow Latics fans would like to pass on their sincere condolences and best wishes to the Liddell family. RIP Little Giorgina Grace, another little angel lost far too soon. Andy Liddell's story You can also donate or sponsor Andy in the Great North Run through clicking the link. There is going to be more on this in the Stockport programme I believe. Edited July 28, 2009 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoafc Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Heart breaking. No parent should EVER have to bury a child, and being a parent myself I struggle to see how anybody could ever get over the loss. God bless Giorgina, and our thoughts are with Andy and his wife.

oafcprozac Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Heart breaking. No parent should EVER have to bury a child, and being a parent myself I struggle to see how anybody could ever get over the loss. God bless Giorgina, and our thoughts are with Andy and his wife. When I was younger I met a girl who already had a little boy, things got serious and I was bringing the boy up as my own, he had underlying health problems but he was a happy little chap and we had our whole future mapped out as a family - then shortly before Christmas '96 he contracted meningitis and died, it tore us apart - we split shortly after and it took me a long time to deal with it - it destroys you. It's something you never get over, something that is there every single day that you learn to live with. All deaths are tragic but when it happens to a child and one close to you it is all the more heartbreaking. Now i'm married with two of my own kids and thanks to the grace of God both are healthy and I cherish what I have - but there isn't a day that goes past when I don't think of Daniel - he was barely two years old. Good luck with the fundraising Lidds, donation made and God Bless you and your family. I'm not sure I could have faced kicking a ball around so soon after such a loss.

Bristolatic Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't mind admitting I cried reading Lidds' story. I just don't know how I would have coped if I'd lost either of my children. I still don't and their both married with families of their own now. My heartfelt condolences go out to Andy and his wife. Raise an absolute fortune, Lidds. You're a star.

My 9 yo daughter also has cerebral palsy as a result of being born prem and the complications that went with it. Fortunately her main disability is she's not the best at walking and running and hit's the deck rather often as Chaddy will tell you having witnessed her at BB parties. 2 Boxing Days ago she was match mascot against Forest at home and i was dreading her coming down the steps with the teams and taking a flyer. Captain that day was Eards who being 18/19 at the time and with a huge match in front of him had the understanding to hold all the players and officials up behind him as he walked down the steps at her pace holding her hand,rather than jogging down as they do. I don't tend to yell at him as much now when he puts it in Row Z. Edited July 28, 2009 by astottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don;t mind admitting I got a lump in my troat when I read Lidds story. But then I did with your story to prozac. Then I got to the end. My son is also called Daniel and he is is also just over two years old. Jolted me in my tracks I can tell you. Like Dan, whom you answered, having to bury a child must be the most heart wrenching thing. I am slightly de-sensitised, as where I work they delaw ith poorly children even those wih cancer, and you see if every day. I think that is what makes your story a bolt from the blue prozac. I think we have seen a little bit more of each other in this thread, and it puts the discussions about whether the stadium is too big or not into perspective (not having a pop at CJ, I was equally involved) just what is important to discuss. Heartfelt wishes to Lidds and his family Edited July 28, 2009 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
