    My thoughts are with both Annie and Stormy :grouphug:
    Words aren't enough.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    i found this a comfort

    you can shed tears that he is gone or you can smile because he has lived
    you can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
    or you can open your eyes and see all he has left
    your heart can be empty because you cant see him
    or you can be full of the love you shared
    you can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
    or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
    you can remember him and only that he has gone
    or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
    you can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
    or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on

    love twink x

    Thats such a lovely poem Twink - I found that last year too when my father in law died. Wanted to read it out at his funeral but knew I would never have been able to read it without blubbing so I gave it to mum in law after the funeral to read in private instead.

    You're in my thoughts today Stormy

    Hi Stormy I so hope the last few hours have been bearable for you. Like many many others you have been on my mind all day. I expect you are releived you have got through today but wondering what will be next and just what is the point of everything now. I remember Mum saying she felt that her life was like a completed jigsaw which somebody had broken up and tossed in the air and was now scattered everywhere and she had no idea how to put it back together again or where all the pieces were. I wish you so much luck DK x

    Beautiful poem Twink - I have copied and pasted it into a word document and will print it off - it was just what I needed, so thank you.
