Hi all,
just a quick blog to say a happy new year to all the good friends on this site..who without knowing it have helped me get through a very hard 6 months, keeping my mind off my mothers illness .once you get on here you seem to forget about everything else for a while ,which sometimes is a blessing ( as it has been for me ) or at other times we feel we are on here too much and dont get anything else done.i would just like to say thank you .. i am very sad to say my dear mum passed away on the 19th December which was devastating to us all as a family , her funeral was on the 29th of December so it has been very hard for us, but hopefully we will have a good year this year..
Joan .

Sorry to hear about your bereavement. It happened at a time when you should have been enjoying yourselves.
But you can take comfort from the fact your mother is at peace now, - and maybe as the year goes on you'll be able to look back and know you helped her when she needed you most.
I am pleased to know you got some support from us all here, even if we didn't realise it at the time :o)

Thank you all so much for your kind words, we all have to go through some tough times in our lives and it helps to know that we have friends we can talk to if need be,
At least we have spring around the corner to look forward to..once again thank you all.x
