    My DS thought I was slowly going loopy today because I've been so teary so I told him about what had happened to Alan and Susan 3Dogs, he said 'was that the man with the funny hats?' I didn't even remember showing him the photos but he did :)

    DS's been happy enough to be in our own house finally (3 days now) and to be left to put his Wii and his dads PS3 up and was only when he'd done the last one and powered it on that a reminder came up on the screen saying 'Florida this month, hopefully :) '
    He turned to me and said 'is this why you've been so upset for the last few days? Dad would be happy that you've decided to go ahead with the holiday and so am I'
    DH and I had decided that the holiday would be a good one for between primary and secondary schools so had been talking about it in the weeks before he died and were going to book it the day after he died.
    I wasn't going to book it but DS said Dad would be so cross with me for not having something to look forward to but now it's only a few days away (Saturday we go) I don't know how I feel. I know it'll be hard but hopefully DS will have a good time

  • I think we can all agree that Mr 3Dogs has had a damn good send off (Im sure redfox will forgive one little swear word!!!!! )

    Can I now suggest that at 12 noon tomorrow we close this thread and start a new one.. In his memory??


    I really dont think Mrs 3Dogs would want to see us going on and on about it for a week or so...

    What do you all think??

    A great idea.

    I agree that is a good idea and a link to Susan and Alan's diary could be placed in the first post.

    West, would you be willing to do the honours at 12 noon tomorrow?


    I would love to do it... I really would, it would give me great pleasure to do so, but Im working until 5'ish and I really feel like we need a certain time to close this particular thread this time... :(:(

    I am sure he will have fab time, and hopefully you'll come home with good memories too. Of course I hope you also have a good time but I can see why you're anxious. I hope that makes some sort of sense :)

    You too are a very brave person - I hope you can enjoy your holiday and that although you will have painful memories this holiday can give you new happy memories too. Hugs to you and your son x
