    Hi Emma, what fantastic news! I wish you all the very best with both the adoption and the new job (I am starting a new job soon too, isn't it exciting!)
    Slight word of warning, (not a dampner, just a 'be patient') I understand the adoption process can take ages... but my friend adopted a little boy a few years ago and now they are established as a family, so it does happen, and it's just right.
    Have a sunny weekend - it's glorious here.

  • Hi Guys,
    Sorry, I've not been up to doing much this week, it's been a difficult one, seem to be crying for no reason at all. I've missed John so much this week, I keep looking at his chair and so wanting him to be there. I need him so much, I just want to say things to him, you know, like I love him so much and the children miss him so much. It's so hard, I feel like I'm just waiting, but waiting for what I don't know.
    I told my sister the other night, she'd been away travelling, and she was the last person to know, so I think that is what had upset me, the fact that it is so final, no going back. I just can't believe it at all.
    On a positive note, I went to the grave today, as I got there the sun shone and it was very peaceful. I tidied up the plot and took some fresh flowers. I felt ok afterwards. I then went to see my Mum and Dad, they are at the same cemetery, and tidied up the flowers there too. It was all very peaceful, I can't believe I had dreaded it so much.
    The step children are back from America and that was very traumatic for them. Stephen isn't coming back yet, he say's he'll visit maybe at Easter, he wants to stay near Deana (his wife) for a while, he hasn't decided what to do with her ashes yet, so he has them at home. I am going to write to him tomorrow, I have left it for now, but need to write to him.

    Emma, glad things are loking up for you.

    AnW'sMum, have a great weekend, you deserve it.

    Thank you all for being there for me, it's lovely that you are concerned and that you care that I'm ok, I think that's one of my sad thoughts, that John isn't here to care if I'm ok, athough, wherever he is, I know he does care, and one day, I'll feel it too.

    Hugs to all and have a great Sunday. If Rosie's better (she had a bad cold), we shall be at football at 10 in the morning.

    Love
    Stormy

    morning all, posted earlier but it disappeared, hugs to you stormy, the numbness will have gone now and its harsh to realise the finality of it all, if my dh walked in the door i wouldnt be shocked i would think he was back from a long walk, but as i always say you will get into calmer times, as hard as that may be to believe now, take care of your self, eat properly, and we are all still here for you and everyone xx

    Afternoon everyone,

    Stormy, nice to hear the family are back from stephens safe and sound and your call with your sister went as well as can be expected.

    It was a lovely sunny day yesterday, and I am glad that you went to the cemetary, the first time is difficult, and everytime you go will be different, Its nice that your mum and dad are both there as well. There is nothing anyone can say to ease your pain and make you feel better, but please look after yourself.

    Love and hugs
    mandymoo xxxxx

    I hope Rosie is feeling better and was able to go to football, my ds2 had a game this afternoon.
