    Merry Christmas!
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    Ninth Anniversary
    You know Patty, once upon a time you would have been right, I would have joined you like a shot. However, a few things have happened to my family recently that have made me realise the importance of having them around.

    It is incredibly likely that this is the last Christmas my FIL will see. His condition has only just been diagnosed in the last few days and I am dreading having to think of what to tell my 6yo dd and 4yo ds.

    If any of you out there are having any kind of family problems at the mo, please try your very best to sort them out. Forgive them as much as you can as family is the most important thing you have.

    Sorry to bring the thread down, I'm afraid I have just learned that my FIL has terminal cancer which will not be treated and I need to vent somewhere.

    He is such a lovely, lovely guy and I cannot imagine my life, or my wife and children's lives without him in it.

    I am so pleased that I have been blessed with such an amazing FIL and I am dreading life without him.

    Anyway, keep strong and have a great Christmas.

    Thinking of you. I know from experience that this is hard to deal with. Stay strong :A
    Smile :) and hopefully the world will smile back

    :( how awful for you and your family. Enjoy the time you do have and don't dwell on the time you won't have....you can do that later. Sadly learned by me in the same position with my own dear dad a few years ago x

    Enjoy your Christmas as well as you can hun, my thoughts are with you x
    Me? I'll be more tolerant towards DH after I had a melt down over DS2 and took it out on the closest person to me, my DH. :o
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
