Sorry Kidcat - totally self absorbed there - what a rotten thing to happen, give your arthritic old friend a hug from me and I hope you are not too badly shaken - Hx

We are all here for you, to vent, rage, cry, whatever.

OH stiltwalker how awful, it sounds very like my uncle who passed a couple of years ago, very similar in that they were initially optimistic but then operated to clear bowel and the news was bad, he managed less than a week after that. I hope DH can be persuaded to stay, as long as your mum can help you, in the long run it will help him grieve.

I'm so sorry Stiltwalker. Sending all my love.

I am so sorry to hear your news Stiltwalker

My offer for a room/place to rest/meals stands. Just let me know if it's needed.


Love to you all xxxx

Kidcat - DH is going to stay a few days - its was my dad I was hoping could be persuaded to stay rather than turning round and driving straight back. X

That's good stiltwalker, sorry I misread it.

Stiltwalker - so sorry that the news about MiL is not what you had hoped for. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear about your MIL Stilty. I wish I was close enough to help out but by the time I managed to reach anywhere near your house it would be time to turn round and come home for the school run. I hope Granny Stiltwaker can be kept comfortable and pain free.

So sorry to hear the news Stilty. Maybe this is the kinder way for your MIL. I hope for your fathers sake he will at least stay over night it is a long way to do the journey both ways. We are all thinking of you.

Kidcat hugs. I know what can happen with these sort of things it hits you later. Give your dog a hug from me too. I have only ever had one dog and she saved us from being burgles more than a few times. They have no consideration these garages I know you car is like out legs to the rest of us.

SQ I think I am in need of a like minded friend pity we are so far apart.
