Having a bad day

Hi again everyone, you've become like a little family to me, even though you're all well ahead in your journey it's nice to hear when things are going well. Shopgood sweetheart you will be very near to me when you're in Norwich, could I be beside you virtually please, I'm unable to do anything much as I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis which is currently pinning me to my sofa.

thinking about how much all of you have been through and how strong you've all been it's not surprising that you're exhausted; rest when you can so your body has chance to recharge a bit and know that although it may not seem like it at the moment everything will be fine. The days will get brighter and I'll be the silent reader sending love and endless hugs to each of you. Thank you for allowing me to join in here, I love you my little family, take care xxxxxx(((hugs)))

Huggybear I'm glad that we've helped you in some way.  Please post whenever you feel able to. We'll e happy to hear from you and offer whatever support/advice that we can.  I'm sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, which i know can be awful.  I have a friend in a similar situation.

I've had a bit of a bad week.  One of my dogs has been poorly so I took her to the vets and have been backwards and forwards all week while they try to get to the bottom of what's wrong with her.  They initially thought it was cancer.  I just couldn't bear it.  Started crying in the vets.  I had sort of thought that might be the case but while it's one thing to think that it's quite another when the vet says it.  Anyway it turns out that she has pneumonia, an enlarged heart and liver.  So she's now got to have medication for her heart and liver for the rest of her life and she's on penicillin for the pneumonia.  My poor muttley has so many tablets I'm amazed she doesn't rattle!  But she s much better.  I kept thinking that if she does go then she can be with mum and wouldn't be on her own.  My mum loved her the best and she would always sit with her when we went round there.

I've been bringing stuff from mum's garden today.  I'm going tomorrow to get the plants.  It was comforting to see mum's pots and statues in my garden tonight.  A little piece of her.  

What time is the service Maisiemae?  Happy to wear a red scarf but I was thinking that it might be an idea to meet somewhere away from the cathedral before we go in.  Might get a bit emotional...

Sue, hope your cold gets better soon.  

Yantibee I wish there was something I could to help your son.  I hope that things will start to get easier for him.

Hugs to all.

Thank you Elenium I do too, it's awful for us all but seeing my precious boys in pain is so upsetting and there is little I can do other than listen and talk to them

Hope the dog stays well I lost poppy soon after Jill and it was such a kick in the teeth at a very upsetting time like my best friend had gone too but like you I hope she is sat with Jill and having nice walks wherever they are ! 

Sadly due to business commitments I can't join you all in London but my thoughts will be with you all as your virtual friendship blossoms into a physical one and maybe some other time I could get to meet my rocks !! 

Love to you all 

Morning all.

Bit of a dramatic day yesterday as house next door but one caught fire.

I had to shut mad cat in house (and Dad) as they both seemed determined to get too close to it. All is OK now if a bit smokey.

Had a realistic feeling dream last night that Mum came back. Everyone had got it wrong and she had recovered. Very disturbing. 

Poor Muttley dog Elenium. I've had pneumonia it's EXHAUSTING! Glad tablets helping. Very unfair for him. I think dogs bounce back quicker than people. Hope he mends well and quickly.

I haven't got a red scarf! Got many other colours...

Smokey dad and the pussycat.... Film title! Scary stuff. Elenium, so pleased yr garden has some of mum in it, now sale fallen through may fetch rosebush i bought mum when one of her 4 dogs died, the last one was put to sleep in mums arms in her bed at home 6 weeks before mum died. She was pleased she could be with her. She was 18 blind and deaf. (Dog not mum). Mum said she would look out for all our passed pets inc my Millie and Poppy. She will be chief pup carer. Sue hello my lovely and Yantibee i hope so much you and yr boys find some plateau of pain to rest from the exhaustion of it all. Re cathedral, Im still away but back Tuesday to confirm details. we have 6 seats saved together, i will ask where in the cathedral. There is no safer place to meet and hug or hold hands or just look at your faces. Then we could go for coffee? Afterwards if Sue's coach permits. If you want to meet elsewhere first i will but meeting in the seats feels like an old black and white movie, we will know its us... Im fine with hugs and ive 1 or 2 to give! (Without smothering). We are the lions and stags of cancer Care and loss. Just bruised. Yes think 2pm service. happy to see if theres a cute cafe close by xxx

I think there is a cafe attached to the Cathedral.  We could go there.  Or if not there are plenty of places along the southbank.

Hi All,

My head is still bunged up & thumping . I hope I feel better by Friday ( the Take That concert) 

Huggybear, of course you may virtually join me & my Aunties on the 18th. My Mum was born at Thorpe. And I was born in a tiny Hamlet  on the Suffolk/Norfolk border near Harleston. My Dad was in the forces & abroad when I was born so my Mum & I lived with my grandparents till Dad was demobbed. We then moved to Derbyshire where he was from as he had to go back down the pit. He once told all my brothers that he didn't mind what they went on to do as long they didn't go down the pit. He'd had to leave school and start working at 14. None of them did career wise. One's a Sheriff inVancouver, the next is a mechanic in Calgary, one's a serious musician, one builds bespoke log homes & my brother who died was a trucker. 

I've been sorting old photographs today. I miss Alan & his smile so much. My heart physically hurts today. Listening to Classic FM. 

Maisiemae, I'll look at my travel plans this for the 20th this week and let you know my time frames if that's ok. 

I send all of you my HUGS

Sue xx

Happy to meet in Cathedral and coffee afterwards in cathedral or outside.

Dad creating chaos here.

Hug..

Ps my real name is Jenny (very unimaginative moment when creating my profile)

Hi,

I would have love to meet up but am in London next weekend to see my youngest and sadly funds don't allow 2 trips at the moment.

Echo the words from Yantibee, still grieving still trying to heal. 

Love to all.

Horrid day.

I've been doing loads but it's all wrong without Mum.

Hug.
