Morning all,
Wow, what a busy bunch of beauties you have all been. Wow, Cath get to see you pop back and good luck with the new job....... DAWN, still waiting to find out birthday, so we can sing happy birthday to you - you know you want to hear the cats chorus!!!
Nic - Massive hugs for you my lovely. Hang in there. I have a theory........ I think when grief comes into our lives, there is an invisible amount of cotton wool layers wrapped around us - No, I'm not talking Shrek and layers!! This cotton wool is what protects us and everytime when we think we are getting better and we then feel like we have taken steps back - this is what happens. The body allows one of these layers to be removed, cause we are geting stronger. So there is one less layer to protect us from this pain which we inevitably feel. You keep the faith in yourself honey, you get your butt here more and let loose. You know we don't do Chinese whispers and the likes. Baby steps honey that is all you can do. Paris, here you come and you get your ass out there girl on that stage at Moulin Rouge
Wendy - oh Wendy, I felt like going round to see your inlaws and giving them a kick up the arse!! People are just dim and no they never fail to amaze with their stupidity. Its getting carried away and not thinking. My mil has said a few times to me 'your wedding champagne' - may not seem a biggie. Apart from the fact that those keenos ordered champagne after we got engaged for a wedding we were planning the next year This champagne didn't get used as our wedding got brought forward as my dad got diagnosed and prognosis was very poor. So, next time it gets said I will not bite my tongue and I will stick the champagne where the sun don't shine - I will keep you posted on that one!!! Don't let the silly sods get you down and if they mention it again, refuse to talk about it, after saying well what did you expect as my dad was in the dvd? Kick ass girl...... Oh yes, we are owed money for guess Wills weight. Pay up You naughty Monkeys!!
Sam - hey honey. Wow, do you remember that song from Chas 'n' Dave...You got more rabbitt than Sainsburys..ha ha great to chat to you. I had almost forgotten what you sounded like. Big hugs honey. You are Superb and you keep remembering how amazing you are
Em - hello nosey parker!! ha ha I have a job already. Thanks for asking. Good to see you back here honey and yes you are a LOT stronger than you give yourself credit for.
Barbie - yipppeee, great to see you around honey. I see that you untied Nic and let her go!!! I think I will soonish have known you for a year. Wow, and look at all the trouble you have gotten me into!! ha ha
Sue - was thinking of you this weekend. Big hugs
Mel - you been kicked out of US yet? Or are your bags so big they won't let you on the plane?? ha ha. Hope you had a good time. Hey the first time I went away - which was just 6 months after my dad died, it was strange. Cause, I wasn't 'me'. My life was still tinged with too much loss and pain, yet there were glimpses of joy and 'wow life' is wonderful. You just make sure you grieve in your way. Cry when you need to and those around you will learn that crying is natural. I cried at a friends yesterday when he showed me a video clip of my dad. He really thought he had shocked me and upset me. Quite the opposite it was wonderful, beautiful, sad, heart wrenching, made me oooze with pride. So many emotions in one go.
Donna - hope the op has gone well. keeping fingers crossed for you
Jac - sending you big hugs and loads of PMA your way. Everyday no matter what is going on, you sit in a corner and have 5 mins to yourself, to just breathe deeply and be you. Don't doubt yourself, cause we all know how amazing you are, even if you forget.
Kelsey - honey, thinking of you. You not being here makes me think the scan is not so good. Whatever happens honey you know we are all here for you. You can deal with everything.
Well, I am seeing my cousin this weekend and I don't know what to do. Her dad is now getting breathless and there had been a shadow on his lung for an x-ray - which has since been dismissed. He has lost weight and to me the breathlessness reminds me of my dad not breathing properly. I am obviously thinking the worst and don't believe that my uncle just has prostate cancer, yet I do not want to worry my cousin if I am wrong. He can swallow properly which is good. I am going to have to tell her my thoughts and in turn that will make her push the doctors for more. On the flip side, if it has spread like I think then nothing will be done and sometimes ignorance is bliss?? Sorry, in a quandry on that one and thinking aloud - I will just see what she says and take her lead.
Hope I haven't missed anyone - which I normally do, as I am a silly billy!!! Much Love Bern xx
