Its been awhile and a bit hectic!!!!

1 minute read time.

Hi everyone

Its been nearly two months since my last post and I dont know where the time has gone.

Christmas was great...... we went to our daughters for dinner and came back stuffed to overflowing........ Boxing Day they all came to us along with no.3 son and his partner and little girl and our latest grand-daughter and her mum.

Hubby is now having counselling with Macmillan but it doesnt seem to be helping much...could be the time of year as we have not long had the anniversary of his brothers passing.

Its also been confirmed from x-rays and a scan that our brother-in-law has a cancerous tumar on his lung. He goes in on tues for his biopsy but have already told him 6 months without treatment.

Our sister-in-law is having her bowel investigated as she has been losing blood since sept last year.

The truth is I have'nt been in the right frame of mind to come on here.....well I've looked but have had days when its been so sad I just couldn't answer anyone as I was feeling so low.

I felt that I wouldn't be of any help to anyone in their times of desperate need of support...... I am so sorry for letting all of you down. I feel awful and ashamed after having such fantastic support from so many wonderful people.

So much has been going on within the family, phone calls, visits, hospitals.......... I guess that is where the time has gone.

    Muuuuuuumsy...!!!! Splat! (that's you flattened with a big hug) 

    Firstly don't you ever ever ever EVER feel awful or ashamed or anything like that whatsover!!!!!!!!!

    You have supported so many of us when we needed it most (especially me in those early days) and what goes around comes around. We get support when we need it and we give support when we can. So its your turn again  to need a bit of a hug etc... nothing wrong with that at all. THat is what macland is about.  Please don't ever feel bad, shaz. You have sooooo much on your plate compared to most of us and really I am always amazed that you ever had time or energy left to support anyone. I know I am in your thoughts, as you are in mine. So come on here to get some hugs and love to keep you going with that  family of yours and all its ups and downs.

    You hang on in there with Dave and the rest of your clan and I am sending you big Little My hugs and giggles to get your through it all....

    You are one hell of a lady Shaz and don't ever feel bad please and it's lovely to hear from you. I hope the counselling starts to help too (Spring is around the corner too and that may help coming out of the gloom of winter)

    Rambling now so will shut up,

    All the love and hugs to you

    Oh wifey!

    What a horrible time you are having and as LM says you need never feel ashamed or obliged to support. It seems to me you are doing enough supporting with your own family and families must always come first.

    I know we are a family on here, but the family you can touch and hug and can hug you back must always be your priority.

    That doesn't mean we didn't miss you, but we understand.

    You've received a big splatting flattening (glad I didn't miss the "L2 out) hug from LM. Let me help you up and give you the biggest of real welsh cwtches.

    Do look after yourself, and remember you are always welcome, but don't feel obliged in anyway,

    Love and big hugs,

    Hubby (Odin) xxx

    Hi Shaz

    I reiterate everything that LM and Odin have said and I am sending you the biggest squidgy hug.

    You are a fabulous woman and it's about time you got some support and hugs and love instead of giving it all the time.

    We love you loads and loads and I hope you have a lovely day today.

    Much love,

    Nin xxxx

    *hugs hugs*

    That was supposed to be 'huge hugs'. Let's try again.

    HUGE HUGS

    That's more like it.

    And pish! to feeling guilty. You have more than enough to deal with, it's time you sat back (well, if you have time) and let other people fuss you.

    Hello Shaz,

    I am in total agreement with everyone here ........ so stop beating yourself up or feeling guilty, we all have our down days too ! Just concentrate on yourselves for the time being - hubby and family come first.

    So even more (((((((((( hugs )))))))))) for you,

    Love, Joycee xx
