I'm not one to share much, especially to strangers but after the last week or so I've read a lot of feelings that the 'feel good factor' is dissipating around the club. I can see folks perspective as we've lost our top scorer, not much happening with signings currently, disruptive rumours of Lennon leaving etc etc
That Scottish cup final. The final whistle blew and I cried, like many. The first person I spoke to was my wee boy Alfie (I wasnt to allowed to take him as he was only 3) he shouted 'Daddy won the cup' and sang Glory Glory down the phone. I cried some more. I took him to the parade and we got our photo with the cup.
Saturday 19th November 2016, home vs QOS. Just another game to most but THE game for me. It was Alfie's 1st and only game.
In February of this year, Alfie died suddenly. My own life has changed forever. My whole perspective has changed, forever.
I used to, like many worry and often complain about what Hibs were doing or weren't doing. They were and are a huge part of my life but looking back I think sometimes that attitude has clouded the many 'Highs' I've experienced with Hibs.
I now, no longer worry about what Hibs will give but remember what they have already given. Memories that are dearer to me than ever imaginable.
Just my take on things. Keep faith, trust the club and remember your own good times that no one can ever take away from you.

Don't really have the words to respond properly to you on the loss of Alfie. Can only imagine what you and your family are going through.
My sincere condolences to you and yours.

Glory Glory to wee Alfie x
When reading your post I shouted "oh no" just after the 4th paragraph. Life is so unfair. Football is game and a game we love but it's never more important that life and I can guarantee there's not a fan on here that would not swap the cup win for Alfie to live to be an old man. You have my condolences

So, so sorry for your loss. Lost my wife a few years back and still can't imagine how you felt/feel. It really does put things into perspective and well done for having the courage to share your story with us.
Forever we'll be singing, to the angels High above.

As a father of young children myself, I struggle to comprehend how I'd handle the loss that you have experienced. I'm so so sorry and admire your courage, honesty, and perspective to share your thoughts with us.
God bless you, your family, and of course, wee Alfie.

Here's me enjoying a wonderful holiday with my two grown-up boy's and there partners, I've clicked on dot.net and read this truly horrendous story !
Words can't describe how sad I feel for you my friend, to lose a child at any age must be the worst thing ever.
God bless you and your family.Last edited by SON OF PADDY; 22-06-2017 at 09:21 AM.
