Ah, who needs a DH or even an H at all for that matter?

My two lovely children have made this Valentine's Day waaay better than any previous one.

I'd been banished to my room all morning (was allowed to take my beloved netbook as they understand that Mummy can't get through the day without the internet...).:rotfl:

When I was finally allowed out, I discovered that my children had been busy with the craft box. They both made me a bunch of flowers out of drinking straws and tissue paper, cute Valentine's cards, and a lovely notice board out of a piece of thick cardboard, patterned paper, ribbon and a pic of themselves which they had printed off.

All of this was totally their idea. No one suggested that they should make anything and no one helped them to make it.

I am the luckiest Mummy ever!:grinheart

I return, I'm pretty sure they loved their Thornton's Chocolate Heart Lollies. :happylove

Thank you for the new thread FK.

Sorry I don't know how to copy over from the previous thread so copied and pasted the lot so that I can say Thank you to SpiralingDown.

We do that too - if OH feels that there are too many others about or truth be told, doesn't want to feel 'soft' (;))in front of friends. He says Ditto. Life really is too short.

It takes me back a couple of years when Mum was in a similar situation.

Even tho she was in alot of pain, her mouth would move to try and smile, her arm would try to hug me and she would try to brush her lips on my face. She was unable to talk properly at this stage. It meant such alot to her that her family always went to see her. (We were lucky as at the time we all lived fairly close to the home). The doctors were surprised that she held on for so long. One night, we got a call that she'd been taken to hospital, bleeding profusely. We got to the hospital as the ambulance arrived. The paramedic told us that she had taken viagra:eek::eek:. When the doctor was examining her, I told her what the paramedic had said. She said explained what was wrong but we all burst out laughing. Mum, who hadn't been able to string two words together for ages, opened her eyes, giggled and said 'You silly b**g*rs, do you think I need that in my condition!' It was like having my old mum back. She got taken up to a ward and at 3 o'clock the doctor told us to go home as there was nothing else we could do and to think if we wanted her to be buried/cremated. We were devasted, A couple of hours later, the hospital called to say that mum was being taken back to the home.!When I got to the hospital, the staff apologised for the distress that the doctors' words had caused!
Mum lasted another few months and at the end, all of her family were with her. The last words she ever heard were that she was the very bestest mum in the whole world, that we all loved her so much and thanked her for all she'd done for us and how lucky we were to have had her. She looked at all of us as if she knew it was the end and smiled.

I am just so pleased that she was surrounded by love and not alone.

Now for the soppy part. Make sure that your loved ones know that you love them (and not just today because it's Valentines Day!) because you never know what's round the corner.

Happy Birthday Decay, hope that you have a good one.:bdaycake:

Seconded MKS, crying while reading that.
Last words I said to DH as I went out to work the night he died was 'Love u' never saw him alive again We said it all the time as we were leaving each other, always the last words either of us said regardless of who was there.
Let them know how you feel and take care of them always x

P.S. Happy birthday Decay
