I was again very sad to see Stephens threads deleted, I never meant to upset anybody, I just tried to prevent others going through the pure devastation that I have, I am going to be blatantly honest here, I am destroyed, losing a Son to something like SADS just cannot register with me, no reason, fit and fine one minute, gone the next, and on his way to buy my Mothers Day present, he never got there, he died instead. It is two years very soon, and leading up to it is worse than ever, the tears and the fears for my other children, my nephew has it, my gandchildren still have not been tested. So many of you have been behind me relentlessly, Maggie, Jude, sorry but so many I cannot mention them all. Not only have they backed me they have also supported me. Colin came out of the blue, his and Donna's e-mails and private special things they done, none of you know about, but hey, they and many more have been my lifeline, I have even surprised myself that I have managed to keep it together for so long, many many times, like today, I have thought of giving up, but it is people like you that keep me going, I stay in now, I hate going out, so my computer and you all have become my life. Somehow me and Colin have found a connection through Stephen, and I believe he has had a bit of hassle today, you are so wrong if you think he done anything wrong, far from it. Stephens thread is gone, I am upset, in fact deveatated, but I can only just say thank you all for your support, please do not answer this as reading kind thoughts will upset me even more, now I cannot type as the tears are in the way, but to all those that have backed me, I thank you sincerelyXX Please do not lay any blame on Colin XX

I just hope that none of the people who object to your threads never lose anyone to SADS.

I know I keep saying it to you Gillian, but you have to keep fighting.

I'm sorry Jennifer

But no one *Hassled* Colin at all !

Colin was going all guns blazing at genes on a thread, The worry was it could have ended up with you losing the right to post any thread at all if he'd antagonised gr any further over the matter.

It was also unfair of Colin to say members were thinking more of silly threads than of children being lost which also grated a bit.

Some people were going to post a fresh thread for you, but a few of us diddnt want your right to post your own thread taken away because of Gr's limitations they set you.

Not one of us was happy about your threads removal, but felt the wrong lanes were being followed which could have compromised your cause..

Have you any explanation for the removals from GR ?.

Maggy

Its a bit unfair at this stage before facts are known to run down the so called complainants.

Even if some did complain, who's to say that they are not going through similar and were distressed reading the threads ?

It could of course been removed by Gr themselves (who also removed a thread on chat) maybe they were doing a sweep of the boards or something

I hope you sort it out with gr,

Mildred with due respect,'No one hassled Colin at all' Since when have you had access to my pm inbox? and as far as 'going all guns blazing at gr' exactly what do you mean? Anything I said, I said on my own thread and thus would be the one held to blame...no-one else. How dare you suggest that I would or could contribute to the removal of Stephen's thread

Elaine, I can only assume why the threads were removed because GR won't reply to my emails.

Gill I don't really know you, but started repling to your posts about Sept last year, about Derek having his back op. I have learnt about Stephen over the months and how you have tried to help others never have to suffer like you, and your family. You deserve all the support you can get. Can't understand why the threads have been deleated. Don't stop, you need to keep sads in the news as much as for the awareness of others as for your own self to help you carry on. Regards Carole x
