Przychodzą takie chwile w życiu, gdy trudno jest napisać w kilku zdaniach od serca to, co się czuje wewnątrz zwłaszcza, gdy w głowie pojawiają się tysiące myśli.
Ciężko jest przygotować się na niespodziewane, jeszcze ciężej przeżywa się coś, co zdaniem innych może być nieuniknione.
Sławek był moim wujem, którego niestety w życiu miałem okazję spotkać na swojej drodze tylko kilkukrotnie. Zdecydowanie za mało, ale zarazem na tyle dużo, by poznać go jako wybitnego, mądrego, oddanego i kochającego człowieka.
Pomimo trudności, z jakimi zmagał się każdego dnia, pomimo utraty sił, energii, mimo „potknięć” na drodze życia, jaką podążał. Zawsze był człowiekiem z wielką determinacją i wiarą ponad swoje siły i ponad możliwości, aby okazać trochę ciepła i serca najbliższym.
Każdy może mieć chwile słabości, zwątpienia, mogą pojawić się łzy bezradności, kryzysu, lecz wiara i motywacja nigdy nie pozwoliły mu odpuścić czy się poddać.
Tak samo jak i my, miał marzenia, cele, plany. Sławek był osobą ambitną, osobą, która osiągnęła bardzo wiele.
Chciałbym sporo jeszcze dodać, napisać, wyrazić, przekazać czy wreszcie…Powiedzieć. Po raz kolejny zabrakło czasu, teraz pozostaje mówić, nie otrzymując więcej odpowiedzi.
Zawsze będę pamiętał uśmiech na twarzy, wiarę w swoje możliwości i jego wielkie słowa, które usłyszałem będąc w Kanadzie i których nigdy nie zapomnę.
Szczerze kondolencje Agnieszka & Asia. Wraz z rodziną, jesteśmy z Wami!
Kochany Patryku,
Dziękujemy za kondolencje, słowa otuchy i piękne sentymenty i wspomnienia jakie pozostawił w Twoim sercu.
Wujek Slawek bardzo Cię kochał i cenił i lubił pogadać z Tobą choć okazji ku temu było rzeczywiście za mało …
Dziękujemy Ci za wsparcie i za to, ze podzieliłeś się z nami swoimi przemyśleniami
Całujemy
Kochana Siostro i Siostrzenico nie znajdujemy słów , które mogłyby Was pocieszyć i przynieść otuchę wobec ciosu, który na Was spadł. Możemy jedynie życzyć sił do zniesienia tego bólu, który tylko upływ czasu może złagodzić. Jesteśmy z Wami w tym ogromnym smutku. Sławek pozostanie w naszych wspomnieniach, gdyż zostawił ślady w naszych sercach. Jak trudno żegnać na zawsze kogoś, kto powinien być jeszcze z nami. Składamy wyrazy najszczerszego współczucia. Zawsze możecie liczyć na nasze wsparcie. Jesteśmy przy Was sercem i myślą.
Kochani Marta i Marku,
Dziękujemy Wam za kondolencje, pocieszenie, słowa otuchy i piękne wspomnienia jakie Sławek wyrył na zawsze w Waszych sercach…
Wasze wsparcie oznacza dla nas więcej niż możecie sobie wyobrazić

Sławek był wspaniałym facetem, kumplem, niezmiernie wrażliwą osobą. Nie jestem w stanie pogodzic sie z Jego odejściem…
Marek
Wiem Marku …
Wszystkim, których w najmniejszym stopniu dotknęła miłość, przyjaźń czy obecność Sławka jest bardzo ciężko pogodzić się z Jego przedwczesnym odejściem …
Ale przecież „Nie odchodzą Ci, którzy trwają w naszych sercach i w naszej pamięci….”
Dear Agnes,
My deepest condolences to you. Despite I met Slavo once, I remember his gentle smile.
May the fond memories with Slavo bring you and Joanna peace and strength.
Please take care.
