  • Hi gravity

    I was thinking of you and Martha this morning (I often do) and I wondered if you realised the amazing legacy she left behind. Your wonderful descriptions of her and her love of life made me realise how precious our time is.

    I wonder how many of us have slowed down a bit and taken time to appreciate what we have. I know I have made a real effort to live life with my dh and children. If it means it takes an extra day to do something or cards get paid off a couple of months later, it doesn't matter.

    I wish you well with YOLO and am sure that Martha is watching over you, loving what you are doing.

    Thinking of you.

    Please sign my petition for Martha.

    http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/justice-for-martha

    Thank you all for you unending support, I don't know how I'd have gotten this far without the wonderful people I'm surrounded by.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    So, so sorry to hear of your loss gravitytolls, petition signed, I hope you get justice for your beautiful daughter x
  • Wish the CPS would get their heads around the concept of justice instead of treating the court process like a bean counting exercise. Petition signed and shared, good luck with the shop, I hope it helps you keep your heart full of memories of lively, happy, carefree Martha instead of sadness.
    If you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was probably £20 well spent...

    Signed. I hope that notice is taken and the trial happens!

    Petition signed. I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you must all be going through. Such a beautiful girl. You can see the personality and character in her face, and her memory will live on in all of you.
