Morning everyone

Hope you are feeling better today Stormy. Wasn't too bad a weekend here, had a birthday party lunch yesterday for DS which was ok, think tomorrow will be harder as that is his actual birthday.

The sun is out and it's nice and mild so hopefully it will help lift my mood.

Take care all

AnW's Mum glad the party lunch went well. Sending you all the love and support in the world. I will be thinking about you tomorrow. Hope your little one has the time of his life.

Thanks anniestar, could really do with a hug right now, have been going through a load of paperwork which has been piling up waiting to be filed/shredded and of course there is loads in there with DH's details/writing on which has had me in floods of tears.

I can't bear to bin anything like the bank statements showing his wages etc so I have decded to put them all in a bag to put in the loft at some point and will prob throw out later. I just feel so stupid crying over bl**dy bank statements and wage slips. I miss him so much.

Sweetie, consider yourself well and truly hugged. All my love as ever. A XXXX

Sorry I'm not too cheery today, I don't really have much to say. Today I just want John and nothing else will do.

I know there's nothing I can say except send you a {hug}

AnW`sMum and stormy lots of love and hugs from me, you our both in my thoughts. I hope your little boys birthday goes as well as it can, especially as it is the first without daddy. Oh my god, how do you ladies cope, it is so sad when loving families are put through this.
I went to the crematorium today with my mum as it is dads anniversary tomorrow, and I looked at dads name on his headstone and it hit home that he`s not here anymore, just to hold his hand or smell his aftershave he always wore DKNY but always called it Donkey that made us laugh so much when people would ask what aftershave he was wearing and he would say donkey .Mum bought a lovely plot for dad with a rose tree and plants in it along with the headstone with dads name and the words "you did so much and asked for so little in return" and that was my dad. Dad was 7 years younger than mum and only 14 years older than me so he was my dad and my friend I was 10 when mum met him and I am the only child. I now feel like mum to my three and my mum, she is a wonderful mum and I can`t imagine what she goes through, as our love for dad is different.She comes to stay with us most weekends and we all get on well I have a wonderful husband who when dad died lost his best friend we are a very close family and always went on holiday with mum and dad,my children adored their grandad and because dad was only 52 when he died he was a young grandad so did lots with them. When my dad was told he had mesothelioma we knew time was short but I count myself so blessed that we had that time together (12 weeks, but 12 weeks longer than a lot of people) One thing I have learnt is that there is no right or wrong way and everyones loss is a different loss. I am so sorry if I have gone on a bit, but it is so nice to just type how you are feeling.
Love to you all you are an amazing group of people
