I lost my hubby paul last september. I miss him so much. It haunts me more now of the terrible pain he suffered and his fight to stay alive then it did when we was living through it .
Is there anybody out there like me / Paul was 54 when he died. he had lung that spread to his bone cancer. In the end it was every where. he lived just a few days under a year from diagnosis.
It was the most dreadfull and sole destroying time of my life . Plus I nursed my dad who lived 6 months after being diagnosed...

Today would have been my dads 50th Birthday he went to sleep 18 days ago (sorry i can't help but count the days....it feels like yesterday and years at the same time) So i got up feeling very strange about today not knowing whether to be sad or to celebrate for him.
I have 3 very young children so we decided to celebrate his special day.
We met Mom, Nan and my bro and sis and we all went to our local park to release balloons from the children with their messages but the letters were too heavy...
Well I'm happy to say we had a good weekend.
Saturday saw our morning jaunt to the cafe, though Mum refused to use her wheelchair to go to the cafe.

After a slow walk and back to the cafe from the car park, we headed off to the park where I knew there was a brass band playing.
For this I made her get in her wheel chair, if not only for the fact you cant guarentee if there was going to be enough...
