sorry for your loss
thanks for your messages of sympathy chess and toy.
The funeral was on the 25th, and Poet and myself placed her ashes in the family plot yesterday.
sorry for your loss pp1.. its a sickener as we all need our Mums.
I am thinking of you right now xx
((((pp1))))) and ((((Fiona))))) xx It was so nice of you to ring me today PP1, I am so sorry to hear your news and for your loss. So pleased you have olde Fiona there for you now and always. 93 was a grand age for Betty and I’m glad the tiny gesture of sending the stamps all those years ago brought some joy to her. Remember the good times and make sure you have quality time for yourself. lots of love catty and tiggy xxx
Many thanks for all your nice replies. I’m happy to say that after watching my father slowly fade away for the past couple of years, he has now passed away. My Dad was was not what some would call a hero but he was to me. He worked hard all his life and together with my Mum they provided myself and my Sister with all we needed. It was not nice to see him suffer so much and I can’t understand how someone with so much belief in God had to suffer so much.
Well, now he’s at peace and hopefully watching down on me as I’m not doing too well. Lots of happy times Dad with many regrets on my part.
to you forever my Poet.. he was your dad. and he loved you.
from me.. xxx and the reassurance that time is a healer.
thinking of you x
Many thanks Ruby, you are one of the decent folks that are rare to find on the internet these days. I did not grieve for my Dad but counted it as a relief to both him and myself that his suffering over the past couple of years is finally over. I speak to him through my thoughts on many occasions since he passed away and I know he was looking down on me last Friday when I was whisked away to A&E ….That was a major scare for me as Chatguide GD had to drive me there !!! ( She nearly hit a taxi and scared the pants off me on the way home ) Seriously tho’ she was a star and stayed with me for four hours whilst I had several ECG’s, happily though they did find out I have a heart and since then with the medication I’m now on things are ok. Well ish. Having not eaten anything for the past two weeks my appetite has returned, but I really need to cut down on the drink and smoking. But we’ll have to see how that goes as I’m an idiot as far as that goes.
Anyway, enough of that, I will survive (Gloria Gaynor) or not lol.
All the best to yourself Rubyred Slippers,
You Take care and keep safe,
Dont’t ever change xxx
I haven’t logged into JC for such a long time, but was having a wander round the boards today and saw this. Am so sorry for your loss Poet, hope you and PP1 are both ok.
love you both loads, you are two of the sweetest kindest people I have ever encountered on the internet (have to add Wilma to that list too!)
Time is a healer.
Each drizzly dawn and subsequent sunset add one new perspective that you can’t possibly have imagined at the actual time of loss. Maybe in other solar systems but certainly not in this one.
For this we then feel an added guilt, that we are in some way being disrespectful to the departed, by the simple matter of getting on with our own lives. I think that we should throw this added guilt, the fact that we can’t bring back our loved ones, into the rubbish bins. Councils have arranged collection every fortnight.
The memories remain, the laughter and tears stay truly stored in our memory banks, and the departed renew alive every single time we think of them, almost as if they were in front of us right now.
They lived through seasons that you too are about to face. Celebrate that , and their lives too while you’re at it, and smile.

sometimes..not often like. I howl laughing at a particular memory that comes to the forefront of my brain. it could be a memory from my own childhood. or something pretty damm wacky 9 9…
it leaves me with the eternal reassurance that the body may be gone, but in head the laughter lives on.and thank fvck for laughter. i have brilliant long term memory but cannot tell you wwhat i had for my tea tonight :) I studied psychology at dundee University where i disputed the fact that memories come from the last time you thought about a certain occasion. as my memories pop in willy nilly. I can be watching corrie and the phone number of someone i met hen i was 8 or 9 comes into my head. worse still is the impule 9 ( impiulse0) to call the number ;0
damm this keyboard.
laugh on folks..smile and remember the good times.
