Why am i crying???

Oh sweetheart!

I think I know why you were crying because I do it myself all the time.  They are tears of happiness but tinged with sadness because you know you have to treasure each and every happy moment with your Dad, just as I have to do with my John.

I am storing my happy moments away in my heart and I expect you are doing the same.  Each day I spend with him is a gift - long may those days carry on for us both! *hugs*

Love, Marjorie x x x x x

I have a policy of 'making a happy memory'. When I realise that what I am experiencing is something wonderful I wish to remember for ever I consciously tell myself that I must lay this down as a memory. It works. You are aware that the happy memories of experiences with your father are running out and so that is why you are sad. Lay down these good memories and treasure them when the time comes.

Best wishes,

Hi Vicki,

Thats good to hear you and the Family had a good day together yesterday. You cried because you had a lovely day and your feelings got to you. you saw your dad having a good time with the kids and it hurt

you just Love your Dad so much that your feelings took over and you had a good cry. thats because you care.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

You are all right i know you are and thank you so much for your lovely words.

I have  been so strong so far and now i feel as if that strength is beginning to go.

I love my dad so so much and to see what is happening to him is heartbreaking, he is getting so moody and snappy with us all and then he is heart broken when he realises what he has said and apologises. I know how frustrated he is getting and i have so much admiration for him and the way he has handled and accepted the situation he is in i just hope i can stay strong for him.

Lots and lots of love to you Marjorie,Kate and Sarsfield yet again you have made me feel 'normal'. XXXXXXX

Wise words from everyone, as usual. I know just where you're coming from Vicki, and all I can say is you just treasure those wonderful memories.

And it can be good to cry. There's only so much 'being strong' a person can take! Sending you much love and strength for the future. Val X
