Sad and shocking news for you .My sympathies .

On another note , if what you say about your son is true he deserves a slap.

Gallows humour perhaps. youngsters can be quite irreverent.

she apparently was ok . she knows my lad & knows it was said in jest to try to lighten the moment. i asked him what she said .

my son is 52. but she did take it as an attempt to put a smile on her face .

I bumped into our local pub landlord and his adult daughter, coming out of W H Smiths, and looking miserable. "Cheer up Dennis" sez I "It might never happen."
"It already has, Betty (wife) died this morning"!!!

Mortified!

Sorry to hear about your mate Ray.

Sad news. But I agree with DtB - use the weekend to raise a glass and recollect happy memories you and your friend enjoyed.
