Sorry but I'm having a bad day and I just need to let it out. Â I woke up feeling like I've had no sleep and really down. Â Mum's been bad this week - a lot of pain and, I think, sliding into depression - so I'm in overdrive on worrying about her. Â My sister is with her today so I don't need to go round to see mum although I probably will drop round later. Â I thought I would throw myself into cleaning the house so make myself busy and then I'd start to feel better. Â My fatal mistake was asking my 18 year old daughter to help. Â She had a major strop. Â I tried to keep calm as I realise that she is worrying about my mum too but it was hard. Â I tried to talk to her but she just got worse and worse so I gave up. Â Then my husband made sarcastic comments about it all - again he is worrying and his mum is also not well - so I am still trying to keep a lid on it. Â But I feel even worse now. Â I'm now sitting on the sofa in my pyjama's watching old episodes of Grey's Anatomy without the will to do anything else. Â I just keep crying and feel so very very sad.Â
Morning all,
As Yantibee says, will be holding your hands and thinking of you all.
Bug hug to you all and Sue, Yantibee, we will get there and meet everyone at some time.
Love to all on yet another special day in our lives xxxxx
Take a deep breath ... then on with the day.
Thanks my dear dear friends. Quite a day. I so want to tell mum. I hope she knows. Then afterwards im driving to Norfolk, through Norwich, so Sue and Yantibee both with connections there, and Bobles you too? Im taking puppy Mabel to meet mums husband for the first time and spruce up mums house as its back on the market. Mabel will go in mums garden which feels nice.

It was great to meet up yesterday. The service was emotional and uplifting and interesting.Â
Loved lighting the candles.
We were relatively sane although one of us was hungover . We thought of all of you.
Maybe we can arrange another meeting one day.
Am back to Dad later today.
