 | Hello to all SYD members who know and have a personal relationship with routemaster in London.
He and I have become friends away from SYD and have exchanged personal information (real names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.) and we even have met in person. I just got a grim e-mail from him about his dear mum. She is in very poor health, has been hospitalized and it looks as though she is in a terminal situation. I'm sure he would appreciate kind words from anyone who cares to send them along. |

I just wanted to post another note about my dear friend routemaster. Tuesday, October 27 was his birthday. He had a nice celebration with friends, but this was his first birthday since his mum passed away. So it was more than a little bittersweet. I'm sure that he'd appreciate kind words from his many friends here on SYD.
Regards, spermkiss
Things are moving right along in settling his mum's estate. Her house has been on the market and he's gotten some offers for it. He has accepted one and the deal has gone to escrow. There is now a big sold sign in the front yard. He's going to be busy the next week or so moving out the last of her belongings. This is kind of sad because she had lived in that house for sixty years and he grew up there.
Complicating things further, he's afraid his computer has picked up a virus. E-mail still works and he and I exchange them and he and other friends do, too. But when he tries to sign on to this site as well as other sites he visits regularly, mostly railway and other transport sites, the computer starts doing weird things. So he expects to be away for a while. He hopes that his friends here understand.

Just a quick note to say a BIG thank you to everyone who sent me condolences over the loss of my mum. I didn't feel it was right to come back onto the site immediately as (a) I had and still have far too much to do in the aftermath of mum's passing and (b) for awhile I wasn't in the mood for SYD type things. The first one is going to take months to sort out and as for the second, well now that more than a month has elapsed since mum's passing, I now need the distraction that SYD brings to keep me from going mad - metaphorically speaking - with all what has to be done. After all, life has to go on and all the crying in the world - and boy have I done a lot of that recently - never brings our loved ones back. Mum went to heaven not knowing that I do porn, if she had she would probably have disowned me but what she didn't know didn't hurt her. In any case, all porn stars are somebody's son or daughter, none of us came down in the last shower, did we? Anyway, just wanted to say thanks again and lots of love to you all. Take care, RM

I got another lengthy e-mail from him this morning as a follow up to the quick note I got yesterday.
Again he asked me to post a notice here on the Forum that he hasn't forgotten about his friends here on SYD, but he just hasn't been in the mood to sign on to the site. He hopes that you'll understand. He expects to be at home until Thursday, May 7 and then he'll go to his mum's for her funeral on Friday.
A bit of levity in that note was about showing his niece the flowers I had sent. She thought that they had been sent all the way from California, but he had to tell her that I placed the order with a florist here in San Francisco, but the arrangement was prepared and delivered by a local florist there. She was disappointed that they had not come all the way across the Atlantic.
I sent him an e-mail late yesterday afternoon, thinking he'd be at home for the weekend to check on his home, to bring in his postal mail and to check his e-mail, but I haven't gotten a reply yet.
He was home this past weekend to check his postal mail and e-mail and to make some replies. I had a lengthy e-mail waiting for me when I arose this morning (Monday, April 27). He will be returning to her home today and I expect he is there by now since as I write this it is about 2:30 PM California time, 10:30 PM London time. He hadn't logged on to SYD and he did not expect to and he asked me to bring his friends here up to date.
As he put it in his e-mail to me, tomorrow (Tuesday) the hard work kicks in. He has an appointment at 11:30 AM with the registry office to register her passing. Once he has her death certificate in hand he can begin sorting out all the legal details. He is not looking forward to that, but he said that it will at least keep him busy so he doesn't sit around brooding and bursting into tears.
Her funeral is at 11:30 AM on Friday, May 8 followed by cremation at 1:30 PM.
The last six years have been difficult as his dad passed away in 2009, his **** in 2012 and now this year his mum. He's feeling lonely so please keep him in your thoughts.

The word that got censored is b-r-o-t-h-e-r.
May your many memories of your wonderful mum help to sustain you at this most difficult time.
I just opened an e-mail from him which I will quote in its entirety:
"Sorry to be a pain, I haven't got time to log onto SYD but would you mind putting a note in the forum that I am going to be away over Easter and maybe for some time after that. I don't just use the site for its "usual" reasons, I have made many nice friends there - like you [I blush - sk] - and its them I am concerned about as I don't want them thinking I'm ignoring them.
"If you wouldn't mind doing that favour for me, I'd be very grateful and many thanks.
"Have a great Easter."
He's grappling with his mum being terminally ill and he's concerned about burdening me and worried about his friends! Such a gracious gent.
Some further background here. As I said, he and I have met in person and I have been to his home. I have also met his mum and have been to her home. She's a gracious and charming lady.
Last November she had surgery for cancer. At the time the doctor thought the operation was a success, but the cancer has returned. Last Friday (March 27) she was taken to a hospital in an ambulance. She was admitted and remains hospitalized. Now he and she are grappling with the decision about attempting more surgery.
It is a long and arduous journey from his home in central London to her home in the distant suburbs. Since the hospital is near her house, he will be staying there for the foreseeable future. Since she does not have a computer or internet access, he'll be out of touch.
Steve.
Send my best wishes to routemaster and his family
Our mothers are so dear to us. They love us no matter what! You have been a loving and caring son and she will know this in her heart always and forever! I wish you peace and
tranquility at this difficult moment!
Thank you, Spermkiss, for passing this along.
