THE ORIGINAL GANG OF MUSHROOM ROPE BUILDERS (i.e Mel & Em's thread cont...)

Hello Dear Friends,

I've done the school run, got some bits from tesco so that there isn't just a bottle of calpol and an onion when you open the fridge !

I've also made a home made chicken soup (children's request !) and spoken to Dad.

I am now attempting the mountain of ironing, then I'm going to have a bubble bath and read.

Will catch you all later.

Love

Melly Mushroom

Can't believe Rob has left this world too. X

Yay!

Glad you found the house of mushroom Bern and glad you have had a good time XXX

Sam will be back today(tomorrow here me thinks) then I think we have had nearly all the gang on. yippeeee XXX

Mmmmmmmm Donulicious !

I am getting into a tangerine scented bubble bath, with good old Jodi Picoult (Change of Heart) and a twix (half price in Tesco) and I may be gone some time !

Love to you all.

hi Guys

Em, when we had to empty dad's house me, my brother and my husband went down. Max (the husband!) did the clothes because I knew I would be too emotional, me and Stephen (the brother!) cleared everything else it is so hard i sympathise. It took us a couple of weeks and I thought when it's over that will be it how wrong I was we are still awaiting finalisation of my dad's will nightmare!!

Love on a beautiful day,

Lesley

ps yes Mel we do have sunshine in Edinburgh!!



sometimes!

Mel,
Hunny it has taken me all afternoon to type this!!!! What you feel now about you pretending Mum is still here is very normal I too spend many days putting things to the back of my mind hence the question of how do i go through Dad's things I still have'nt watched my wedding video and doubt I will for a long time yet. t hurts like hell hun and although we get a little more normality back the deep down truth of it is we miss our loved ones more than anything.

I have to be knackered. Even this pillow looks really comfy to me!! Saddo!! Ooodles of hugs and love to you very special people. Me xxx

Hello all my little angel pies,

Love being able to post and know that you all understand.

The truth is that I am ok today and might even be ok tomorrow, after that who knows?

If I let my mind wander then the emotion overtakes, so the mind is under strict orders not to remain exactly where it is !!!!

It's weird not to have the worry all the time, and things are very different for me, but I'm coping and I have great comfort in that the cemetery is a 3 minute drive from my home. It's the first cemetery to be built in England in 60 years, so it's all open and free and overlooks a forest. Mum got such a lovely prime location that I feel so comfortable there.

Grief is the most horrendous emotion that I have encountered, but there is always a price to be paid for everything, and so would I have swapped grief for never having loved or been loved? No, and I think that's where I will find my strength and courage.

I was loved by my beautiful Mum, and I loved her, but more importantly I still love her and she still loves me, death doesn't change that, so let's not ever forget how blessed we all are.

All my love

Melanie X
