No need for replies, just want this out there.

RIP and sleep tight, Rhod.
A long, unforgettable struggle
is now over. Sleep easy, no machines any more.

A big star is shining brightly in the night sky. And it's you.

Rest now.

I know you said no need to reply but I just wanted you to know I have read and your pain is in my thoughts.

Thanks

Sleep well, Rhod.

Would you like to tell us about him? But of course only if you want to.

And you find some peace, in time, Hex

Sorry to hear of your loss, and sorry that Rhod had such a difficult struggle. May he rest in peace.

I hope you get love and support from friends and family to support you and help you come to terms with this Flowers

Thanks everyone.
I am but one of the many friends, hoping to circle Rhod's family with the love and support they deserve.

They have been tireless in their care. He was very, very poorly but his legacy is one of humour, laughter, total pain-in-the-arse exasperation. Rhod was loving, unreasonable, grumpy, extremely caring, uncomplaining of his illness and disability yet complained like a pro about most other stuff, had a sharp memory and a sharp tongue. He could also swear badly but was tender and sensitive when my DC were around him.

Everyone has a story to share about the big lad, with an ever bigger character. And everyone will
Miss him.

The world has lost a little more colour tonight. Please say a little word of love for him and his remarkable family.

What AnnieL said - glad that they have friends like you. Rhod sounds like he was quite a character
