alright Onimo, good to see you back in the posting game!

My mum's twin sister passed yesterday after a few days in hospice care. It's been awful for my mum, because she didn't only have to contend with losing a twin but also with two of her twin's awful kids, seemingly whose only interest was what they were going to get. It's not like a two bedroom ex-council house is such a legacy to act like money grubbing scumbags over, but sadly it happened like this.

Sorry for you and your mum's loss, Calzino.

you couldn't find two less identical twins. My mum, five foot odd (takes no shit from nobody) and her twin sis was nearly six foot tall, but she was quite soft natured and guileless and always a target for bullies and abusive partners. She literally spent 7 decades having to stick up for her, so it's a huge void in her life now.

Sorry for your loss, and sorry your cousins are being dicks.

just want to say fuck cancer

XPs to calzino, I didn’t see your bump of this thread. Sorry for your loss.

Brimstead, it sounds like you’re going through it. My heart goes out to you.

Best to you brimstead.

sending good thoughts your way brimstead

thank you folks. lotta thoughts, emotions

sending much love your way brimstead

Yeah, much love.

My sympathies, B.

Fuck cancer.

Yep - sorry if it's shitting on you, man.

Yep, absolutely fuck it. Fuck off, cancer.

best to you, brimstead

thanks table <3

Fuck cancer indeed, aldo, I never know what to say about these things but I wish the best for you and your loved ones.

my dad has been having a good few days, he felt well enough to go on a short bike ride Saturday and his appetite has been a lot better, pain diminished, less nauseous… he starts round 2 of chemo on Tuesday and they’re adjusting the mix so hopefully he won’t feel as shitty this round.

From those not piecing threads together, this revival by Aldo was to absolutely fuck cancer because we lost Onimo on Saturday evening and we didn't quite know how to do it (also the rolling obituary thread)

Can't quite pull it together to do an actual thread to tell the wider world so but yeah. Fuck cancer. All my love to everyone going through this shit.

oh my God, that's terrible. i don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. so sorry.

RIP onimo. You're updates were brave and heartbreaking.

Fuck cancer.

thanks ailsa, so sorry <3

Oh shit, no. So sorry to hear that, Ailsa.

oh no I'm so so sorry for your loss, RIP

oh fuck.

dear onimo! love and light to him and all who knew him as he makes his transition.

He was a fucking rock star all the way through this. Love that he just rocked up here to tell cancer to fuck off. A lot. It should have listened. Miss you, pal x

so very sad to hear about onimo :(

We will miss you

Condolences to Ailsa and everyone, he was great.

This is awful news. What a lovely, sound, funny guy. Fuck's sake.

this is such horribly sad news-–i never met onimo in person but he was clearly top notch, a truly decent, smart, kind and funny person. RIP and heartfelt condolences to his family and friends

I’m so sorry Alisa :(

I'll make sure all condolences are passed on to his wife and family, I hope they know how much of an online presence he was. This place is how we became friends, one of those times someone actually made a Glasgow FAP happen and I sat down next to him and started ranting bollocks to him and he took that as an invitation to tell me how wrong I was about football for about fifteen years :-)

shit, dreadful news, fuck cancer to atoms. A lively and interesting presence threading the boards.

So very sorry to hear it. Fucking cancer.

Prince of a guy, and a terrible loss. Fuck cancer forever.

Oh no :( Onimo's always been one of the always-here stalwarts of ILX, I am so sorry for this news. Hugs and love from me to the Scots clan xxxxx

damn. had been wondering about him lately with the discussion going on in the smoking thread. so sorry for everyone who knew him well. fuck cancer.

awful news :(

rip onimo, very sad to hear this

I'll make sure all condolences are passed on to his wife and family, I hope they know how much of an online presence he was.

Ailsa, is there an online condolence page somewhere that we could write on?

I don't know, I'll find out and post a link if there is.

Oh no, I Hadn't heard. RIP Onimo :(

RIP Onimo

RIP Onimo, I had a stupid idea he was somehow on the mend.

:( horrible. sorry. rip to a true gent

RIP Onimo and all the very best to you, ailsa. Fuck cancer.

xxposts likewise, hoping against hope that he’d be ok. RIP Onimo, fuck cancer obviously.

damnit… RIP

RIP Onimo. My family has some connections to his family, and whenever I'd hear his name raised it would be about how lovely he was. I'm not sure I ever met him myself (maybe when I was very very young), but I'm glad that in the context of this weird corner of the internet I got to see how lovely he was too.

Awful news, RIP
