*clink* a toast to John and Ian two of the brightest stars in the skies tonight

Mrs_Sparkle

Just to say that I'm thinking of those of you who've lost loved ones this year and I am sending my very best wishes for 2008. Stormy and others, you have been so brave and are an inspiration to the rest of us.

Happy new year xx

my thoughts also go out to anyone who lost some in 2007. I lost my gran at aged 92 Feb 13th so that date will be hard for me.

I hate this time of year for this kind of thing, my family seem to die around Christmas well at least one side do

Hello to all of you.

Well we have all made it into 2008 and I am sure that this year will have some brighter moments for us all. One thing that is sure to stay the same though is the hope and support offered by each and everyone of you who posts on here.

Wishing you all the happiness you wish yourselves Dusty x

hi,
may i just say a hopefully happier new year to everybody who posts and reads this thread. it has offered hope, comfort and support for a lot of people in the past year who have suffered something in their lives. everybody certainly gave me support when i lost my partner last year. even though evreybody here is "virtual" it has always felt as if we were all very close.
so keep smiling as i shall try to do in 2008 and hope the pain eases. mine has begun to, but i doubt it will ever go away.
many thanks
molly

Hi everyone

Hope you are all ok, been a tough day here and now gearing up for the inquest next month

On the good side Alice is now a cub, got sworn in last night dib dib They both had good birthdays last month and got lots of lovely pressies. William had a Thomas cake (of course!) can't believe they are 5 and 8 already, where does time go to?

It must have been horrid for you today AnW'sMum, but you got through it as we are all doing, so well done us!!

Just plodding along and getting by at the moment here too, it would have been his birthday on Thursday I can't ignore it because it is 2 of my childrens' and one of my grandson's birthday this week too. With that and valentines coming up it's a bit bleak at the moment.

But we will get there, we know that when it's specially hard we can come on here and there is always someone who knows how we feel, which helps.

AnW'sMum

Extra (((HUGS))) for you for this week. Birthdays are always difficult, I found especially for the first ones that the day after was worse. Almost as though I had geared myself up for the day itself and then when I relaxed the day after it hit me smack in the gut.

You are so right though that there are people who understand on here. None of us want to be in this club but we are and having others who understand is such a support.

Stormybay

Hugs to all from me too. You are right AnW'sMum, none of us want to be in this stupid club.....actually, I'm quite bored of it now, and John, Hey John, enough is enough, you can come back now!!
Who am I kidding, it's a pity we can't just do that though. I can see this is going to be a rambling post, yet again, so please bear with me.
This morning, I had to take my daughter to her friends house for 7.30am (don't ask). The house is about an 11 mile round trip, when I was nearly there, I realised that I was going to run out of petrol, and I had no money, cards or phone on me. I dropped her off and drove to the promenade and watched the sun come up over the sea. I cried and cried for John, because he would never see that view again and I cried because I was cross that I was going to run out of petrol and I couldn't call him to come and bring me some money so I could get some.
As you all know on here, it's been over a year now and I still have huge bouts of not coping and just crying and just missing John so much that I ache all over.
I even, last night sent him a text telling him 'I Love You'. It was so sad to have it returned saying on my screen 'Not Delivered To John'. I guess it brought it home that nothing will ever 'be delivered' to John ever again.
I'm sorry for rambling, when I know how hard is is still for you all, but it seems that once again, this thread has become my outlet. I have a wonderful friend who I went to see last night, and I so want to tell her how much I miss John and how much I want to cry with her, but I hve never cried in front of her, in fact, I have never cried in front of anyone, and now I feel that if I did, it would be too late, and people would think I was stupid after all this time. Gosh, sorry to go on, but do you know what I mean.
It sounds like I'm feeling sorry for myself, when actually, I do know how lucky I am. I have lovely children, a great grand son, with another on the way, but, today, I just want my John back, just for him to receive that last text message.
Anyhow, back to the petrol saga, I scrapped around in the car, pockets etc, and found £2.38, which I put in the car to get me home, the lady at the petrol station thought it was funny, so at least I gave her a laugh to start her day

Thank you for being here again all you lovely people, I'm thinking of you all today.
Love Stormy
