Grumpy Old Soldier
« on: September 06, 2008, 01:08:48 PM »
I have had an email from Mrs GOS ~ it seems that the old fella has had a relapse and is quite ill. I have no details as to what ails him.
I have, of course, passed good wishes for a speedy and full recovery from all of us. I'll post more as and when information comes to me.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I quote

"I am afraid that Gos is quite ill having just had a relapse hence his absence. I will pass on your concerns to him when I visit him today. Thank you ever so much for your e-mail and please pass on my thanks on Gos's behalf to everyone on the site.
Kind regards Mrs Gos"

Obviously in hospital as Mrs Gos is visiting this afternoon. I can tell you no more as I know no more.

I feel like I have almost lost a friend. And as someone who hates hospitals with a vengeance I wish him well

Please add my name to the long list of well wishers.

It must be the strain of him carrying that chest full of medals that does it.

Once again, I am reminded how much I take my health for granted. Get well soon GOS

Send him my best wishes as well. This place isnt the same without his stories.  sad24:
