Hi Syl and Debbie

Hope you wont mind a joint reply (just stops me repeating myself!).  Know we are all going to struggle through the festive season but wanted to wish you both a peaceful few days with the family.

Debbie hope that annoying cold clears up for you and am sure having your young great niece around will help you through too.

Syl I am sure being with your children will bring you all some comfort.

 I am grateful to be having the children/grandkids for company (am at my sons for Darcey's 1st Christmas Day with my daughter and family too plus my future daughter in law's parents and sister so a very full house (not forgetting the Westie!)).  They will pop in to spend some time with me on Boxing Day.

Went to see my Mum this morning and also laid flowers at hubby's resting place.  Tomorrow will have a day to myself for reflection  (plus gym visit and picking up butcher's order) and preparation.

Take care of yourselves, virtual hugs.  Jules xx

Hi Sylvia, just came to wish you and your kids a merry Christmas. I am sure your hubby will take part of the laughters and good time reminicing. Have a Nice 2017!!, Joe

Hi

firstly I am sorry for the loss And I am very impressed with your kids taking It well.

he is im a better place now and he is okay. I know how it feels I just want to see my gf again as she died a few weeks ago from lung cancer but I like to remember that she is looking down on me and I want to make her proud 

this is the same he is looking down on your family and he will want you to be happy as a family.

there will be hard times and these can come from nowere but remember it's best To cry and let it out.

i can't really help me inch more but I don't but I hope It helped a little bit.

take care and once against I be incredibly impressed with your kids coping I was a big blubbering mess.

hope you and your kids had a good Christmas christmas and roll on 2017.
