    Toots Thanks for my butterfly!!

    Grateful it's such a shame when we lose a little hairy person from our family isn't it. They are such a big part of our lives, but you can at least take comfort from the fact that you have done the very best for her right up to and including the hardest decision of all. The best tribute to her now is that you think of her and smile.....even through the tears. Thinking of you. xx

    Seeing if i can rem my chatty post now........Mumof4 happy birthday have a great day and a fab party. Hugs to all that need them,Emily i also found myself shedding a load of tears at the mental health reports on RND. Grateful, i lost my dog a few years ago in simillar circumstances it was heartbreaking to me and the family so hugs are sent your way. Mummyof5 this is for you :T :A I fell pregnant with DS at the age of 17 (he will be 18 in may :eek: :eek: ) my mum was not best impressed and chucked me out onto the streets (thankfully my BF at the time and his family took me in we went on to have 5 children and our relationship lasted 17 yrs ).I have to say our mother/daughter relationship never recovered after that so well done to you and your familiy's outlook regarding your DD.
