Sandra so so sorry to hear about your brother. Big virtual hug.xxxx

Hi Sandra,

I try to pop in here when I have the time, but concentrate mostly on the newbies. I well remember your first post and am so sorry to find that you've still not got your troubles to seek.

What a shock it must have been to lose your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It sounds as if you gave him a funeral that he would have been proud of.

How are you keeping these days?

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Big thank you eveyone for your kind thoughts. 2 brothers, 1 sister and me then in the blink of an eye we 4 became 3. Someone ( also with cancer) once said to me if the cancer don't get you death will. It made me smile :)

I'm doing fine... I think having the lil ones at mine has actually helped. its the school holidays so they are keeping me busy... 4 mile scoot along beach path yesterday nd 3 mile walk through the woods today.. oh my the mud, mud nd more mud. I'm asleep by 10 pm nd the alarm at 7am is waking me lol. 
Oh... nd I have their dog here too just to fill in the gaps lol. X

Hi Sandra,

I'm in awe of where you find this energy! I'm sure that having the little ones is good for you at the moment. You're a glutton for punishment in having the dog too.

We're still in a state of shock this year. First we lost my mum-in-law who was 94 and had dementia, next we lost my father-in-law of 97. He went into day hospital for assessment in February. We were told that afternoon that he had widespread cancer and he died 5 days later. Out of the blue, we then lost my youngest brother-in-law, who was always considered to be the healthiest and fittest of the 3 brothers. He lived in Malaysia and was found dead in bed. That same week we lost my in-law's best friend's wife and, we had to arrange everything for him. In between all of this, my son broke his neck. We feel as if the family has been decimated this year. I just wish that my grandchildren were a little closer to us, but we're at opposite ends of the country.

Your daughter is so lucky to have you there to step in when she has so much to do to the new house.

Kind regards,

Oh my jolamine, you most certainly have a right to feel the way you do. To loose so many so close to you is inconceivable.... and bless still you are on here supporting others.. what an inspiration ️
 

then your son's injury too. Was it a car crash? How's he doing... my heart goes out to you.

you are right that the lil ones have helped me ... I am blessed to have them live so close. Hope you get to see your grandchildren as often as possible... they inspire us to live a little more- well... more :) x

Hi Sandra,

My son just fell 3 feet from his hedge and landed on his head on the lawn. He is a dentist and is no longer fit to work at dentistry, as he has also damaged some nerves in his left hand. The surgeon thought that the sensation might return within the year, but the year will be up in June and there is no sign of any improvement yet.

Unfortunately, we both live at opposite ends of the country, so we don't get to see our grandchildren anywhere near as often as we would like.

Life can be so unpredictable in a devastating way. Hope he can see a way for his life to move forward as soon as possible. They are always our babies no matter how old they are.

Hard living so far away so thank the stars for FaceTime and the likes. They at least give us a way to keep in touch more easily. The lil ones FaceTime their mammy nd daddy every morning when the wake up , then they see them teatime  and FaceTime again as they snuggle down to sleep at 7 pm. :)

looking forward to Friday cos they are all off to a caravan for 3 days. Definitely plan a duvet day for myself ;)

Dizzel still no word from you... c'mon lass... just a quick line to let us know how things are for you... we are worried ️X

Morning peeps 

bad:- worried about Dizzel 

good:- taking lil ones to community centre, they have a craft day on so that will keep me nd lil ones busy. Gotta make a collage when we get back home with all the bits nd bobs we collected down the woods yesterday (school homework). 
 

hope everyone has as good a day as they can x
