Morning all,
Am trying to get as many things as possible out of the way this morning
so anyone for a HHC at 9.45?
Thinking very much of all who will miss Diva esp Jinks, LadyLib, and Ian.
She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live in yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your
back,
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

Ubermum, what a wonderful inspiring and positive post!
I'm posting in purple for Diva, I didn't know her very well, but can see from what so many posters have written that she was a special person for so many people, so I'll be thinking of everyone who is going to miss her, and wishing them strength.
Sooo, I crashed out into major post migraine spaceyness after a couple of HHC's yesterday, but today.... (whispers) it seems to have gone......! Shhhhh Don't tell the migraine fairies please- usually I'm useless for at least 2 days after so this is a bonus!
