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

    Goooooooood Afternooooooooooon!!

    Wow, Helen is back!! Hoorah!! Where you been? Off on your hols?? twenty's holidays are for people in their twentys, not to go away with twenty men!!! - bloodyhell, reading that, that would be hard work being away with twenty men!!

    Well the weather has been total pants all day today. I am feeling very sleepy from an excessive weekend. Water and gruel are the way forward for me now!! I am not allowed to spend any money either..

    Well, I hope everyone is having a good afternoon. I hope you are feeling the love. I hope you are realising how strong and beautiful you all are. Cause we are all walking different paths, yet I see inside each of you a strength that you sometimes, possibly many times don't see yourselves. Well, in your days of doubt, when the effort of getting out of bed, makes you want to climb back into bed. Remember that you have done what you didn't think you could cope with, many times over. You have done it cause you are strong. You can now keep doing it cause you have lots of support from here.

    Barbie - I could do with a butchers please!!! Have sent you text. No more phones in jeans pocklets for me EVER, especially when going to the loo!!!

    Oooo all this holiday talk is making me think of booking one. I would love to go and track the gorillas. Maybe I should look into that and see how much it costs? Then pick myself up off the floor in shock and get busking!!! Maybe we go and see the OrangUtans instead? I don't know, have 10 days hols to use before the end of the year and would love to get away from it all, especially as it doesn't look like we are buying this year. Have the holidays whilst we can!!! Right enough nonsense from me, have to get back to work!!

    Love and hugs galore. Keep hanging in there lovely peeps. Its gotta be said, cause its true..YOU ARE SUPERB XXXX

    Arrggghhhhhh my system makes me mad. On a time limit and it bloody crashed. Have a strong feeling this is the way my day is going to be today. Things are starting to go wrong again, really wrong. Hey ho. I will put on my batfink wings and I will be mighty fine!!!!!

    Nic - have a wicked holiday honey. Feel the sun on your face, the sand in your toes (no sand, well go to a gold course!!) the wind in your hair and start to feel new sensations. Get your brain stimulated with life, it will start to build up your strength again.

    Em - will be thinking of you on Friday. I found the build up to my dads anniversary worst than the actual anniversary. I hope though you can raise a glass of champagne and celebrate your dads life. Let go balloons, have a cartwheel race. Anything that takes your fancy, just make sure that you also do something to make you smile. We mourn cause we miss those we love. Maybe don't look at what you have missed, be grateful for what you shared and experienced.....leaves you with a happier heart that way.

    Sorry peeps, got to go. Love to all. Keep being naughty - well I know you will, as the pink one is back from her manfest!!! Keep smiling, keep laughing, keep loving and do what is amazing and supporting. Thank you all you beauties. Love Bern xx

    Bern, thanks hunny your words are so true and I really am hoping the build up is worse than the day as I don't want to feel down anymore and I should be getting excited with Blackpool on Saturday my first break from Tony and the kids EVER!!!!!(scared really ha ha).

    Nic, Have a great hol hun X

    Cath, still thinking of you mate I know the anniversary is going to be hard for us both but hey we got this far!!!! X

    Well, Brooke came home at 8pm last night and has gone to her new school today for the day. We have a dress fitting tomorrow at 4.30 followed by a meeting at the school at 6.30. Thursday is dancing and friday having hair done. Between all the usual cleaning, cooking paperwork I have to get the house organised for me not being here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AND all I really want is a hug of my Dad.

    Love to everyone XXX

    hi all

    em - is it this Friday? can't believe we lost our dads so closely together. Are you doing anything for it? i think we're going for a meal and taking a walk to the area we scattered his ashes.

    Bern - you're so right so far in that the build up is often worse than the day itself. As that's how it's been for dad's birthday and father's day. I've been a dragon up to it and strangely calm on the days themselves.

    hope everyone else is ok. Barbie - lovely to see you back on here.x

    Oh dear.

    It's Dad's birthday tomorrow.

    How many cards did I have to put back because they would have been inappropriate????

    I want a Cancer Card shop.

    A shop that has vetted all cards for bad bad bad messages (so bad I had to say it three times)

    A shop that has cards for loved ones no longer here.

    A shop that all profits go to curing cancer.

    And a shop that will give me my Mum's new forwarding address, and will allow me to send a card by recorded delivery so that I can ensure she got it !

    That's not to much to ask, is it?

    One word.......PANTS !

    Oh Mel, I know what you mean. It maybe abit late if your Dad's birthday is tomorrow but have you looked a moonpig.com (or co.uk) as you can make your own and they post them for you.

    Two days after my Dad died it was Mum's 60th and people still sent her "congratulations on your special day" cards .................!!
