Lovely Morning chit-chat May

Hi Ellie, it would be my pleasure to do that for you my friend, I was thinking as well as the flowers, a teddy bear would be nice, Ellie I know it's a long way, but if you could get the train to Durham, I could meet you there and we could go together, just a thought my friend., as for the card, I'll wait a week for suggestions from others.

I do know you and Ulls were very close, my family and friends think it weird we can be so close to someone we've never met, I recently lost a very close friend from the forum, Marie (MarieT), we too kept in touch privately near the end, and I still shed a few tears for her, bless her.

I'm sorry to hear your brother and daughter  are having such a tough time, and hope there are better times ahead for them both soon, we're both due some good luck Ellie.

love Eddie and Sheila xx 

In fact  becoming friends with some one you have never met,  strange, and when you join, you  never  expect that.

Though you make a  bond with some one and as time goes on, you never expect them to pass.

Eddie if I could get there I would.

I cannot even walk out side my front gate, cannot see  a step to go down and because of the fractures i had in pelvis cannot walk right yes i struggle, though appreciate the offer.

Its very kind of you,  if you do manage to go to the cremation, his wife told me to raise a glass at 1pm which I will do.

Hi Angie, I was hoping one or two of us could share a special moment we had with Ulls,for a group card, though if anyone wants me to send a message just fom themselves, I  would be happy to do that, and I  don't want any money for doing it, I did mean a stuffed teddy bear Angie, but a teddy shaped wreath is a lovely idea, if everyone is happy with that, I'll sort out a teddy bear wreath in Sunderland colours, his favourite football team.

love Eddie xx 

Hi Patrick, it's good to let your emotions out my friend, bottling them up is never a good idea, I doubt in the last 8 months there has been 30 days  when I haven't cried for some reason, and always felt better for doing it.

Good to hear from you Patrick. We both know for sure. You are welcome anytime if you feel like offloading or even getting cross. You can always send me a private message if you need a punch ball  anytime there for you or anybody who feels like chatting. Love to  Mrs Patrick and you from

My dear friend, you certainly have been through the Mill and back over the last few months. I admire your dedication and help for all your loved ones during their various stages of treatment, despite being unwell yourself. You are a star in every way and I feel privileged that we have become such good friends .Dear me loads of emotions doing the rounds tonight. Love to you all from

Understood my friend, and my apologies, I just wanted to give you the offer. Angie has suggested a teddy bear shaped wreath, in Sunderland colours, which sounds nice, and I have a few teddy bears I could get embroidered with papa bear/mama bear, to add to your message, and a card/message from the forum, I'm sure I will get there Ellie, and your suggestions are very important to me.

love Eddie xx 

I am grateful for the offer much appreciated.

Eddie I am just happy, that some one from the group is going, as I said he will never walk alone.

You have everything in hand, which is lovely.

Friday night used to be our drinking night lol.

He used to message me you got  your wine ellie,  

yes ulls good I have my small dram cheers, lol happy days.

Awww thanks Angie, but my journey is  no more difficult than anyone else's, we all have had our ups and downs, and it would be easy  to let the downs take over, but we find the strength, and with support from family and friends including you guys on here, we find a way to make the most of our time, and you my dear friend have been an important part of that for me.

love Eddie and Sheila xx 

Ellie I  I would  often just follow your banter with Ulls, never joining in as you both used to make me smile many times, often bringing a happy end to a not so good day, which is how I'll remember William.
