SeeBass Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Well my fellow Dandies where does one start trying to tell all about my five or so year absence. I think the easy explanation is as follows; 1.Watching my Mam pass away aged fifty five following some 48 day battle with primary Lung and secondary Brain cancer has obviously been very tough to deal with and completely changed yours truly as a person forever. 2.Said breakdown of some 15 year private life relationship ultimately adds to above mess. Been to 32 matches since Mam's death on Wednesday 10th April 2013 which has included fifteen victories, ten drawn games and seven defeated afternoon although we only count Real Sociedad (H), Hearts (A), Rangers (H) as proper losses because St.Johnstone twice, Hearts and Ross County all at home there was nothing at stake other than professional pride.

manc_don Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Meant to reply to your Facebook message the other day seebass, you've definitely had a rough time of it, hopefully youre through the worst of it! Good to see you back again and good luck with the second book Quote
BigAl Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Well well well, welcome back min, you've been missed. Sounds like you've had a pretty rough time of it lately. Chin up and onwards you go mate Quote
Tyrant Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Welcome back SeeBass. I myself lost my Mum when I was 19 very suddenly so I can relate. Let this relatively good time to be a Dandy help you through. Quote
SeeBass Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Posted July 5, 2017 Tyrant, Winning League Cup 11 months after she died was pretty emotional stuff. As with our £471.38 accumulated for reaching both Cup Finals last season one donated one's £257.50 when beating Inverness Caledonian Thistle to Margaret Kerr Unit here in the Scottish Borders who done such a wonderful job making her last moments so peaceful and tranquil. Think yours truly does adopt a different outlook on life having gone through losing your Mam like we did. European games have been brilliant where taking my mind off recent heartache is concerned especially HNK Rijeka, Kairat Almaty and NK Maribor at Pittodrie. Quote
Elgindon Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Welcome mannie.An influx of abmad refugees like myself since you were last on here.Hopefully better times on and off the field for yourself Quote

RicoS321 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 Like yerself i went thru a bad time, but 4 years ago i packed the car and never looked back. Where did you end up? Quote
SeeBass Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Posted July 11, 2017 Cheers for the kind words guys. Our success since Derek arrived has been bittersweet because it's been good in helping me through one's tragic loss but at same time is a reminder of all them conversation we used to have with Mam which I miss about how crap Aberdeen were!!!!!!
