    anniestar that is a wonderful idea about the box :) I am sure your Aunt will be as touched as we all are at the cameradarie (sp?) that has come out of such loss.

    I for one find a lot of strength from all those that post on here and in turn feel that whilst life seems very bleak at the moment without Ian I know with friends on here and my family and friends around me that I WILL get out the other side of all this. Ian will always be a huge part of our lives and I miss him more with each passing day but in time I hope that the pain subsides. Alice and William are the future for me and I shall try my best to see that they grow up safe and secure in the knowledge of our love for them.

    anniestar I will be thinking of you tomorrow, sending you big hugs, keep strong and don't ever feel that you are burdening anyone here. Life is a tough road to walk but it's easier if we can walk together.

    HUGS to all those that need them.

    She was,I am not having a very good day today. I miss having someone to discuss things with, laugh(and cry) with, and just to know she was there. We met at church when I was 13 and she was such an infulence on my life. I could tell her all the stuff I couldn't tell my mum(you know what teenage girls are like) and spoke to her every day for something like 20years. I hope you are all coping with today and are all safe warm and well. I send you all of my love from the bottom of my heart. Have a good evening.

    been quite busy here playing with A & W and trying to sort this tip out. Found a huge mountain of odd socks so that will keep me busy tonight! Made a banana bread with the kids, they had a great time licking out the bowl. So all in all not too bad here, just not given myself chance to sit and think about the date.

    BIG HUGS to you anniestar you're just about through this day well done :) I think we should all have a glass of wine together 'to good friends' *chink*

    I got very emotional when I left work today and then ended up crying all the way to pick up ds and dd from school then I ended up crying about everything not just work (any excuse lol)

    Thinking of you all

    I'll second that......To good friends :beer: (couldn't find a wine glass smiley)

    I'm so sorry about your friend Annie, I'm thinking about you, and all those on here who are grieving.

    I'm finding things a bit easier in the last few days, I'm not crying as much (although it still feels like there's a gaping hole in my heart)....strangely enough there have been times when I have felt really happy, and then I start feeling guilty for being happy.....which I know is NOT what my Gran would want. I think we owe it to the people we have lost though to pick up the pieces and find some happiness in life, no matter how difficult it is, or how long it takes.

    So here's to good friends and absent loved ones, and to all of you too xxx

  • Hello Everyone, especially those who are missing their lost loved ones today, everyday is hard, but today particularly as the love is flowing around everywhere.
    I went to the grave and tool laminated valentines cards from me and Rosie and the sun shone, it was peaceful and quite beautiful. I saw the mother pf one of my daughters' friends up there. Her daughter was sniffing and aerosol for the first time and died almost instantly about 4 years ago, she was 14. He Mum was beside herself today at the cemetery. I thought to myself, there but the grace of God go I. I don't think there is anything worse than loosing a child, she was a lovely innocent girl who was just having an experiment with friends, her life will never be the same. I felt so sorry for her. I didn't say anything, just chatted to John with Rosie, she came to me and said she was sorry for my loss!!!! I said to her, there are no words I can say to you because I know that nothing will ease the pain. She was so lovely to me and she must hurt so much.
    Anyway, we have all survived the day and I had a lovely bunch of Roses off my eldest daughter and my son has just told me that all my children are taking me out for a meal (all paid for by them) on saturday night. How wonderful is that. I'm so lucky to have my children, my firends and you people on here.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    Stormy
