PM count your blessings. I have a friend who is in her late thirties and is desperate for a relationship and baby and would love to be in your position. You have found a lovely man to share your life with. He will get you through the difficult times. If you were on your own and you lost your mum think how alone you would feel.

Focus on who will be at your wedding not on wont be. Focus on everything you have. You have got through some really tough times in your life. You have a lovely future ahead with a great man by your side. Enjoy:)

I thought the idea of getting married so soon was so you could have your mum at the wedding? Just be grateful she is going to be there and enjoy the time your having with her and not think about the time when she will not be here. Your glass is half full not half empty:beer::beer:

Friend of mine had fertility treatment which didn't work and was told they would never have children. They concentrated of enjoying each other and forgot about having a family. They had about 10 years of married life as a couple, then she found she was pregnant! Next year pregnant again, they now have 5 beautiful children - not bad for someone told they would never have children. Never give up hope.

Lovely to hear that SnD

Unfortunatly I don't have any natural cycle at all, and previous surgery has damaged my insides.

Need to try to sleep but brain is far to awake.

I usually go to yoga on a Wednesday, but we need to see funeral director today and by the evening, I am so shattered, don't think I could cope with a class then at the moment, although I do love my yoga. OH been working from home, so he can help as much as poss but needs to go back into the office on Monday.

There is an awful lot to sort out.

Mum wants to go and spend a couple of hours on her own at home tomorrow so will leave her in the afternoon, but some people have offered to pop in and say hello so will ask them to do that.
Hubby making lots of calls, so he is getting through that.

Now trying to get mum to decide on hymms, readings etc - just hoping the funeral director will give some guidance.

................

Maybe you'd like to write your own valediction.
I did for my mum
I know I couldn't have read it out myself at the funeral, I'd have certainly broke down, but someone else did and it gave me great comfort.
It still does.

So that it makes a little more sense, you need to know just a few details

My mum loved cruising in her later life, sometimes with my dad, sometimes her sister-in-law or a friend, but quite frequently all on her ADVENTUROUS lonesome.
All over the world visiting exotic and interesting places, Land of the Midnight Sun, Norwegian Fjords, Russia, Black Sea, Mediterrean, Aegean, North Africa, South America and the USA
Her best memories were of the couple of weeks on the QE2 (Queen Elizabeth II) and almost five weeks on the SS Canberra and it navigating the Panama Canal.
She was buried on her birthday - 30 November

There are about half a dozen vague, but quite familiar, musical references - something that I can get very emotional about, stirring my inner soul and bring me close to tears - MUSIC - sometimes the lyrics if there are any, often just the sounds themselves
.
And something in my inherited genes, I also like adventure, the travel, the sultry foreign lands - Sri Lanka again in September .....

..... though I'm not sure I'll achieve my mum's list of countries.


So here it is:

STILL SAILING

This valediction is so hard to write
Never out of my thoughts though out of my sight

A tearful farewell or a silent adieu
Infinite memories forever will remind me of you

This goodbye is the hardest to say
'Neath white saltire, azure field, half-mast on St. Andrew's Day

Au revoir, I know, it can never really be
No fabulous phoenix rising will bring you back to me

So bon voyage, port out, on the next high tide
Calm seas, fine weather, and Argus by your side

Magical dreams Mum, who knows where you'll roam
With heavy heart, I know, it's a journey, with no starboard home

I'll miss your love, your laugh and so, so much more
Sometimes I'll cry, then dry my eyes somewhere on a faraway shore

Remembering, at the sight of distant ship's smoke on the horizon
Your sunny days, starry nights aboard great liners, gone, but not forgotten

Then I'll make a toast and raise a glass
To my Mum, my friend, my finest Derbyshire lass ...

still sailing .......
