Proud Moments

Mackenzie,

You are honestly the best poster on this forum, by a country mile.

I enjoy all of your posts as they talk a lot of sense and some things you say are inspiring and you seem like such a nice woman.

:)

When my mam died last year I did a eulogy at her funeral. I'm not a massively confident person so was really worried about it before hand. I wrote and read it myself in the crem in front of everyone and even got a laugh at one point. I couldn't have just let the vicar do his bit and was so glad afterwards that I'd shared my thoughts and feelings.

People say you regret the things you don't do in life, never a truer saying imo.

was there for my mum during her various illnesses and helped with bills,mortgage etc. and was at her side when she died,holding her hand telling her how much i loved her and that every day i would be thinking of her and miss her. she died in december 2008

Sometimes the proudest moments happen in adversity. It is amazing what the human spirit can do in such times.

I am not very touchy feely at all but I held the hand of my Husband's Uncle when he was dying, and managed to say words of comfort that I didn't know I was capable of. It came naturally at the time.

Be very proud of what you did.

thankyou

Nah. Plenty of posters better than I.

In another 40 years you will be saying the same as me Liam.

Everything comes with experience, insight and balance. It isn't rocket science, believe me.

And I can be a git at times.

But thank you all the same. x

I caught an old woman at work a few weeks back when she was falling, took a dive to catch her from hitting the floor and hurt myself in the process.

The most amazing thing was saving a kid from bein hit by a bus in Manchester. She was only about 3 and her mum wasn't far behind. but she just legged it and ran into the road and this bus was travelling at a fair speed. I just ran into the road grabbed her by her arm and kind of just pulled her away into the air and onto the pavement. It was a natural reaction so didn't think anything of it but when I saw her mother's face and the way she thanked me and cried I just shrugged and said it was okay. It only hit me after what I'd done.

The bus?

Today, I helped an old lady cross the road.

did she want to cross the road?

When I said 'helped her cross the road', I meant that I accelerated the process of crossing.

So to answer your question, she had no choice. My 125cc motorbike heading towards her at a hefty pace whilst the old biddy wandered into the road, shopping trolley in hand, served as motivation for her to exact the crossing.

Apart from this mean feat, I have nothing to be proud of. Anyone who knows me will attest to this.

A lot of people on here have a lot to be proud of.

What have you done in your life that has made you feel really proud of yourself?

I'm not talking about daft things like a massive fart, or a huge belch or saying "Bollocks" within a burp, I mean real things you can look back on with a great deal of pride.

I've never done anything huge in my life really, just been a normal kinda guy, but I was pleased when I was able to do 2 best man speeches, despite being quite shy, and doing my FA Coaching badge, which was quite hard some time ago, not like now, Level 1 is a gimme. Again being quite shy, it was quite a challenge for me.

Thats my story fucked then...
