Have I been very stupid? Probably get told off by the wife.:(

Posted that PC deal earlier and noticed this one (refurb but they turn up good as brand new) http://www.packardbell.co.uk/pb/en/GB/content/model/DL.U7HEK.001

Not that powerful but perfectly good for the kids to browse. £190 incl 20" monitor which must be worth £80 so PC for £110 and Windows 8 is worth £40, ie can't be that bad value.

Can it?

Anyway got the last one off B Crazy.

What is done is done. :cool:

My deepest sympathies & sorry my post happened to turn up next to your thoughtful post.

This happens all too often, my neighbour lost her hubbie the year before i lost mine and I explained to her that DS may talk about him a lot as we'd spent so much time with him but she was happy that someone would talk so fondly of him.
When we first moved in DS (then 4yrs old) made a point of letting him know the names of the birds in the garden and that started off a great friendship between them, they shared their love of birds and he showed DS the different feathers of the birds that he sourced for the restaurant trade. They enjoyed their time together but his wife didn't realise how much time they'd spent together and how much he was missed by us all.

We had a good heart to heart after DH died and she explained how so many friends and family just disappeared because they didn't know what to say. She was glad she had us and a few other neighbours to help her
It is hard when you see people you know walk past as if they haven't seen you, it's hard when everyone flinches when we mention DH's name and talk so openly about him but he is still a major part of our lives, everything we do reminds us of him and if he would like it or do it the same way or not. Not a day goes past that we don't mention him in some way or other or something reminds us of him.
I have had people say we shouldn't mention him so much but to me that's like pretending he's not important anymore. I have had people be nasty about DS talking about him and that made DS feel bad, I told them to eff off and told DS if they don't like what he says that's their problem but these are the people with a load of guilt on their minds and don't like being reminded of him.

Of course he is important to you SD he is the love of your life and your sons dad with everything that means to him.

It's lovely that you can both talk so openly about it. I am finding it easier to talk about my mum only now a year after her death without breaking down at the mention of her. I can appreciate how difficult it must be when people aren't as open as you but some might have their reasons, I struggled to comfort my DH as fully as I would have liked when my FIL passed weeks after my mum as everything just reminded of her death. A colleague also lost her mum around the same time and I couldn't discuss her loss or discuss my loss with anyone other than family and 2 very close work friends - I just couldn't.

Your relationship with your son sounds very close, I was so close to my mum - I am sure he will always cherish you and the memories of your DH.
