Pooey bum with very sore skin, but no diarrhoea?

Long time Omlet folk may remember that the 16 year old daughter of acquaintances of ours, who was in our oldest son's year at school, died suddenly in her sleep 4 years ago.

 

I found out today that her brother, who was in my younger son's year, died the same way this weekend. He was 18. He was a talented footballer who played with my son up until 6th year and was in the Hibs under 20 squad.

 

I just can't begin to imagine how their parents, who are the nicest people, will come back from this second tragedy.

 

It just puts everything into perspective and makes you grateful for your own good fortune.

That's too awful to think about. I don't know how you'd cope with that happening twice. So sorry to hear that.

Oh ANH that is so awfully dreadful. I remember you posting of their previous loss. I really don't know what to say but they will be in my thoughts and prayers. Lucy x

How unbelievably tragic, life can be so cruel

I remember that post also... that should have been enough sadness for one family to bear.

[Egluntyne 11]

Very sorry to hear it.

There just are no words. I can't even begin to imagine how this family must be feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with them x

[Purplemaniacs 11]

Oh dear that is so sad. The poor parents, how do you cope with something like that once, never mind twice.

That is so sad. I too remember you saying about the daughter. I just can't imagine how the parents are feeling at all

[Plum 97]

What awful news, too sad for words

[mollyripkim 0]

Oh my goodness that is just the most sad and tragic thing to happen. Can't imagine how they will cope, my thoughts are with you all.

[redbug 0]

Oh my goodness how to you come to terms with that!! So very sad.

 

Do the family have any more children?

[Ain't Nobody Here 4]

No, sadly, they don't.

[Bramble 0]

Too tragic for words, just dreadful

[WitchHazel 2]

That's just awful news. I can't imagine what they must be feeling.

 

I don't know what to say.

[The Dogmother 581]

Unbelievably bad news and hard to grasp - they must be in agony.

How unimaginably upsetting for that family. Love and prayers to the parents.

So sad to read that ANH, I remember the previous time

 

I don't suppose strangers thinking of them this Christmas helps but they will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Ain't Nobody Here 4]

It has been in the news, partly because he was a Hibs player but partly because another poor lad died the same day, while playing football.

Oh my goodness what a tragedy for the parents and friends of that family.You just cannot imagine what they must be going through.They will be in my prayers too.

[soapdragon 583]

I was going to post about how terrible this must be for those parents but that sounds trite ....... just beyond imagining their pain. Made me realise that all this rushing around trying to get ready for Christmas and then getting cross with my two when they fight/leave a mess/play up is SO stupid and will slow down and give them much more time and loads of hugs.

[Luvachicken 509]

That is just so sad.

I don't know what to say xxx

Terribly sad - putting my nurisng hat on I am assuming its something like cardiac disease. Usually after such a tragedy other members of family are tested and if positive action taken. Something went sadly wrong here. Poor parents.
