Life delt them such a cruel blow,Juvenille Battens was such a cruel illness.&amp;nbsp; But when I got cancer last year all I could think of was that what they suffered was far beyond anything i was was going through, they were the ones who pulled me through this dreaded ordeal, as I felt them with me all the way.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am the one who survived, not them.&amp;nbsp; A parent never wants to go before their children its just not right.&amp;nbsp; Today I give joy to the precious memories of them and thanks for making a stronger person who after time was able to cope with what life has thrown at me.&amp;nbsp; Life is precious and no matter what may be we must try to cherish it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do not do blogs as such, but, for some reason today felt I needed to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For the last two nights on chat&amp;nbsp;members have had to put up with Yomi18ayekoti.&amp;nbsp; This idiot&amp;nbsp; was out to totally disrupt and annoy.&amp;nbsp; We have had new people on who could not cope with what was going on, members who wanted to talk&amp;nbsp; things over an could not, &amp;nbsp;and some long term members who have now said they wont come back for awhile as its making them so upset. I wish there was a way that admin could deal with this type of situation within a short period of time, so we did not have to put up with the likes of this silly little sod. It is not nice to come into chat and say I am new and then some silly little idiot says something stupid puts them off and they do not get the help they need.
