While I was in the garden this morning feeding the birds, memories of Tia (my girl) came flooding in, of how she used to jump up and eat the bread before the poor birds even had a chance too, that was it I found myself in floods of tears, its 8 weeks today since I lost Tia! and then I got to thinking about my Dad who I lost in May, and there I was again sobbing! I know theyre both together but it doesnt make it any easier. Dad and Tia were both my best friends and I know Christmas is going to be sooo sad this year without them.
When I finally composed myself I went to School to watch my beautiful Granddaughter Caprice in the Nativity Play, well...I took one look at Caprice dressed as an Angel, she gave me such a lovely smile, I set of crying again! but then I realised this is what its all about!! we have to make the most of what we have today and be thankful for the lovely memories, and time weve spent with our dear departed loved ones.' Memories live longer than dreams'!! as my wise Dad used to say.
Caprice sure was my ANGEL today seeing her standing there made me so proud and eased my pain.

Hi Tiamaria, your emotions are completely understandable and tears are a good way of expressing how you were feeling. I ALWAYS cry at school Nativity plays whether my kids were in them or not lol! Certain Carols set me off too but don't know why!
Enjoy each day and all it's gifts and know that your loved ones are still with you.
What an exhausting day with all that crying! But it's better out than in. I cry at nativity plays and the like and I don't even like kids! Hope you'll feel more peaceful after a good night's sleep.
It's funny, but since I was diagnosed, I can cry at the drop of a hat. I wonder if there's a conncection? I don't necessarily cry for myself, it can be something on the tele or a brass band or carol singers. Anybody else got the same problem? Or is it a problem?
I found that ANYTHING since being diagnosed can set me off lol! I have a box of tissues at my side when watching TV (even an advert can do it - to my daughter's amusement lol). Definately a 'safety-valve' I think. I used to say to client's who found it difficult to cry to get a really weepy film out, a box of chocs a bottle of wine and a BIG box of tissues and just indulge themselves. Even if they couldn't cry for themslves they could cry for the characters in the film which was all good!
