    Aww Mooloo, I really feel like an old friend, we've exchanged so many posts throughout the years. I wish I was closer, so I could be of use to you. My heart is breaking.... anytime you need a chat, you know where to find me xxx
  • My lovely dad's name was William too, Mooloo. I am raising a glass to your dear dad right now. Gentle hugs and you know where I am if you need to talk x

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    ..And another.

    William is a fine name. Hope DS and GF think so too; it would be a lovely tribute if they decide to choose it as one of their little boy's names.

    Thankyou all.
    I feel numb I suppose.
    My DS is a William.
    May go see that new Baby later.
    I did sleep though. Think having a bottle of wine before dinner contributed to that.
    But I won't be drowning my sorrows with alcohol everyday.
    I have a business to run, and he would be cross with me if I let it slide.
    We are looking after Mum.
    She is my priority of course. My brother is with her now. I go back this afternoon. Will stay tonight. Then my brother will go see his children while he is here and come back to mum tomorrow.
    I get DGD back tomorrow. So that will keep me focused.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
