Crushed..

2018-08-05T03:26:00.002+01:00

Crushed. Sitting though. Wood burner ticking over. And after a wee drive through the mountains. Meeting both badger and frogs. Hope and simplicity. Seeing the wee badger walk down the single track feet in front o Molly for a mile and more. Frogs crossing and sitting watching as they make it safe across the tarmac. Aye hope and peace. Returns... A simple hello met wae silence a simple goodbye met wae silence crushing. But always the open road from Ocean tae mountains brings peace...

trust no one.. but let your heart soar

2018-08-04T12:26:00.000+01:00

So sick o being the idiot that cares. Getting back tae requests. And no reply. Simply saying good morning. Only tae get silence. Go out my way tae help. After being asked. Only tae be left sitting like an idiot. Waiting. No text or message.. So back tae a simple life...

A wee poem… we didn’t Know ( you should have said)

2018-04-24T08:41:00.001+01:00

A WEE POEM

………………….

(WE DIDN’T KNOW (you should have said)

----------------------------------------------------

Why force a dying women oot her bed? (Ullapool Medical centre)

(We didn’t know. How ill Mel was.)

A year and a half, since her death. I have asked. Why

(We didn’t know, you should have said.)

Registered at Ullapool Medical centre for 7 years and more. Mel was.

5 lots of cancer, including bone and breast wae osteoporosis. Thrown in

(We know.) (WE KNOW) …..

6 months Chemo and two lots o radiotherapy.

(We know. WE KNOW.)

……………………..

Broke her back as a kid. A year tae walk again.

Why force a dying women oot he bed? Then?

Across a carpark #100 yards and more.

each step bones simply crumbled

(We didn’t know how ill Mel was.) we didn’t know.

Why make us beg for meds, morphine and more (Lochinver Medical centre)

On my knees, Mel in tears. We begged.

Why?

(We didn’t know how ill Mel was.) you should have said.

…………………..

That last year 95% bedbound

(we didn’t know, YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID)

We did we did we did. WE DID.

At appointments, notes we wrote, aye even on the phone time after time.

(we didn’t know, we didn’t know how ill Mel WAS. YOU should have said.)

You’re NOT LISTENING YOU’RE NOT LISTENING over and over we were telt.

Time you stole from us, as we fought with you. Some Drs nurses , receptionists, and the odd chemist.

Mel in tears as time after time you said. (“You’re not listening” “YOU’RE NOT LISTENING”)

Screaming in pain. We both begged again. And again, please I just want my meds. My wife screamed No more tests, no more treatment. (that last year)

(we didn’t know how ill Mel was)

(we didn’t know)

Close tae death, you took one more blood test, against her wishes.

(you’re NOT listening, we didn’t know, how ill Mel was)

Turn and sigh Mel did.

Aye turn and die.

Then together “Fuck OFF” we shouted. Enough enough.

(We didn’t know)

(we didn’t know)

Even banned from Kyle o Lochalsh. (medical centre) As a wee traveller asked for meds. Telt tae fuck off home, England we guessed. Aye fuck off your banned. For asking for meds.

What gives you the right tae just travel about.? Your answer tae Mel’s wee request.

(we didn’t know how ill Mel was)

your answer after a year and a half. since he death.

(You should have said………….)

(we didn’t know, how ill Mel was.)

Aye precious time you stole from us both.

The toughest battle this past year, tae still care.

Aye curled up in ball. even pissed three times n more.

At last I have the answer.

Why force a dying woman oot her bed tae collect he prescription?

(WE DIDN’T KNOW HOW ILL MEL WAS) “you should have said”

AT LAST I HAVE MY ANSWER TAE THE QUESTIONS RATTLING IN MY HEAD…

Why?

They didn’t know how ill you were babe.

Peace. Mel n Andy

2017-02-14T14:44:00.001+00:00

lol, mind a time doon near Newbury, we were parked up. used tae tie Max up , while we got ready ( close too the road ). anyways one day i had him tied up tae a full gas bottle. had noticed he barked when a cyclist passed each day. sitting one day Mel and me up early could hear the cyclist swearing at him throwing summit. before i could go oot. Mel and me watched , jaws hitting the floor as Max and gas bottled legged it up the road after the cyclist.. got too him as i seen the cyclist get on his bike, riding off " dirty fucking gypsys" . then oor pal turned up from the local school. lovely lady the wee headmistress, came tae place another order for 3 more nest boxes and birdtable. she was in shock at what she had seen and heard. never saw that cyclist again.. , mel was working in local nursing home at the time. oor wee furkids best alarm system xx
