Well here i am again at 4.30 in the morning and i can't sleep yet again!! My husband Darryl has terminal small cell cancer and, at the moment is going through a really good phase. Which, i would have thought, would set my mind at rest and enable me to sleep. But no, here i am again having had 2 hrs sleep tonight wide awake with mad thoughts running around my head!! This is driving me crazy and i just seem to be on auto pilot all the time. Darryl is 44 years old and we have been given a prognosis of a 2-3 year life span for him. I can't seem to let go of this thought, and maybe part of me can't sleep because of that, as i feel if i'm asleep i'm wasteing precious time!! Darryl is sound asleep and resting well, and if i stay upstairs next to him listening to his breathing, i keep thinking is this the last time i'll ever hear that and end up getting so uptight and worried that i find it better to just get up again. So i wander round the house do a few chores, have a hot caffiene free drink and will myself to sleep all to no avail i might add!! hahaha surely i'm not the only carer who never sleeps, or am i????? any comments gratefully recieved. Take care my friends and hope your all sleeping well. love and hugs mel xxx

    hey my chickie Deb
    Bride to be eh?
    Wow i hope you have a lovely day!
    Not long to go now are you nervous?
    I remember mine i was shaking like a leaf but it was a truly lovely day!
    I have accepted your friend request sweet so if you need to p/m me anytime i'm here for you ok?
    You have done so well and are so strong even though you think you're not!
    Would a weak person have coped with all this crap that has been thrown at them?
    Would a weak person have survived a awful childhood that you so obviously suffered?
    Would a weak person have hope and courage and strenght you so obviously have?
    I don't think so!
    You are strong and courageous and brave and i for one am very proud of you even though we have just met!
    I can already tell you are no quitter and for that i hold you in very high esteem!
    You be proud for all you have achieved and in no way let it rule or ruin the rest of your life and the life you have with your lovely hubby to be
    I wish you both good luck for the happy day and will be thinking of you both
    One rule on here though
    You gotta let us all know how the wedding goes cos we're all nosey moo's really! lol
