This is the start of a new journey for me and my much loved friends from the original Oesophegus thread on general discussions.
We have become a close group and this will be our new home to continue our journey as life has become very hard for many of us and we keep re-living our journeys with lots of newbies which puts us all back a bit.
So my lovely friends Mel, Sam, Helen, Bern, Jac, Nic, Dawn, Sue, Cath, Lesley, Jani and the many other special friends Mel and I have made over the last 16 months this is it we have a new home.
Love to all and extra strength to carry us through our next stage XXX
Just popping on to say, will be thinking of everyone that is dreading tomorrow ( like me ) and although our Dads arn't here in person, we can still give them a lovely Fathers Day's in our minds. Sending you strength and love to get you through the day. Michelle xxxxxxx
ps... where is everyone, you all used to chat together no end, till i turned up!!
Weekends is all ways a littlw quiet as we are juggling all the family stuff. I think schools should open 7 days a week !!!! LOL...
I know tomorrow will bring so many a heavy heart, but if you try and start a new tradtion, something special for your wonderful Dad's, then you may find a little comfort, strength and courage to get through.
Wouldnt it be great if school's would take kids 7 day's a week from the age of 3. No, thats terrible of me to say. Just that my 3 year old is running me ragged. Everything I ask her to do is replied with a firm and loud "NO". I wonder where she heard it from first ... lol.
I like the idea of a new tradition, I think I shall ponder the thought in the bath with a glass of wine and some chocolate to nibble on, then i may have a lightbulb moment. Am dreading tomorrow though, as it will be 4 weeks to the day too. Still, I still have to give Paul (hubby) a nice fathers day, which he deserves as I have not been much company for him lately.
Good Morning.....I am the first post of the day - you slackers!!!
Well, i have awoken today with a new fight in my belly and a determination not to give into cancer. Yes, I have felt pants in the run up to fathers day. Today though, I feel blessed. My dad is not here for me to give him a hug or to call. I can still speak to him though and I can hear his answers. My dad loved me unconditionally, even though at times I would drive him to distraction.
So the way I am looking at today: my dad died before his time, in my eyes. Yet, he died knowing how loved he is. He didn't die afraid. My dad is a good man and for the 30 years I had him physically in my life were precious. Even now I am learning from him and still trying to master humility. On the flip side I could have had a father who was an arsehole and who was selfish and mean or who just didn't take an interest in my life and could have lived until a ripe old age!!
So, today even if I have a few tears. I am going to count my blessings and give this illness the two fingers and a kick in the goolies!! Sending you all ooodles of strength as I know today is going to be particularly hard for some. Love and hugs Bern xx
Rochelle, you are a wonderful person to be thinking of others today, when your own heart must be heavy and your pain so very raw. Sending you lots of love and (((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))
Hello all. Sending big hugs to all who are going through this day without there dear dads (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))).
You are all in our thoughts. Love and squishy hugs to all. Sam & Helen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Can you send me some of your strength, I have absolutely hated today. All I can hear is families in their backgardens having bbq's and laughing. Our family has had a terrible day, mainly my fault as I have not wanted to do anything. I feel bad as it's my husband's fathers day too and I have ruined for him.
Stay strong!
