This think this is so totally and completly wrong?

[OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere]

Its that time of year again.
I usually try and grab your attention with some wittily provocative AIBU thread title.
I just cant be arsed tonight.

I want you to give blood.
I want you to register to be a bone marrow donor.
I would even quite like you to sponser me for my 10k run.

But you know what?

I just want her back.

This time 6 years ago I was watching her die. She died on 27th April 2006 aged 14 years.

A life so full of promise.
Such a clever, beautiful child.
My daughter.

She has two brothers she has never met. She has one brother that couldnt bear to live in the house she lived and died in and has now moved out. She has a little brother whose autistic brain cannot make sense of her leaving but cannot allow him to stop wondering where she is.

I miss her. She should be here.

I should be telling her to get on with her essays and stop spending her money on nightclubs.

I spent an hour and half in boots today scanning photos of her onto disc because we didnt even have a digital camera when she was alive.
I will spend tomorrow in her little memorial garden at the front of our house. Tidying it and replanting.

There is no sense to what happened to her. It makes no sense.

Please give blood

No one has to say anything.

I'm sorry x

I'm booked in. The first available date they give me that wasn't school run time

sending a very unmumsnetty (((hug))).. xx

I have booked an appointment to give blood for the second time this year. Such an easy small thing to do. I am so moved by your post, my heart goes out to you.

I'm so sorry. I've read your story a few times now, and it breaks my heart every time. Unfortunately I can't give blood or donate bone marrow, but as soon as I'm financially able I will donate for your run

am already donor and on register

((((0))))

I want to cry for you and no words I say can help I guess.

All I can do is promise to give blood again, will scan certificate and send to you (I got lazy and have forgotten how important it is)

As for bone marrow, fuck it. Will do that too.

And yes, PM me and I will sponsor you.

I'm so sorry. Your post has moved me to tears xx

I'm sorry, I have a heart condition.
I can't donate blood or bone marrow.

But I appreciate the guilt trip :)

I'm so sorry.
I do those things anyway as my husband was recently the recipient of a bone marrow transplant. I wanted to give something back.
I wish you had your daughter back too. Life is so bloody unfair sometimes.

Oh.

Words aren't enough, my tears seem so insignificant but they are there anyway!

I had a blood transfusion when I was 16 so unfortunately cannot give blood. It is something that really upsets me, having benefited from the blood donor service.

Just couldn't read and not comment.

My heart goes out to you.

there are no words.

We give blood, we have donor cards.

[thankyou]

I meant

So tragic!

I have been a donor for a long time in many countries. In Botswana the pupils were staggered to find out my blood was the same colour as theirs.

Please give blood.

Thank you. I will book in tomorrow. I have always intended to sign to be a donor but I've never done anything about it. I will sort that tomorrow too.

I don't know what else I can say but I couldn't not say anything.

You don't know me but your threads always move me. I can't imagine how you must feel and I'm so sorry for your loss. xx

I'm so sorry - I remember your post last year, I remember looking at the photo of your beautiful girl. There are no words - thinking of you x

I'm so sorry I just looked at your page your daughter was beautiful. I cannot give blood or bone marrow as I have a blood disorder and need regular transfusions myself. I do carry a donor card. I have also sponsored you, I wish I could afford more.

Of course it's wrong. She should be here.

I'll make a donation when I get paid.

X

So sorry Mrs Devere xx

I would give blood if I were allowed to do so - everyone who does is an absolute hero.

I'm giving blood next week. Have had a long break while having kids, but want to get back into it now. Especially since ds2 needed a transfusion at a month old. He prob won't be able to. So I'll give as much as I can to make up for it.

She was gorgeous by the way. So beautiful.

MrsDeV. Billie was just beautiful and I cannot imagine how much pain you are in or how much you miss her.

Giving blood is so important. As you know I have had my own recent experience with this bastard disease and blood transfusions are such a vital part of treatment. Of course there are always going to be people who can't give blood for medical reasons, along with those who won't for their own personal reasons. But if you can, please do something really good.

Unfortunately nothing can ever bring back your beautiful daughter, but if your posts help just one person in similar circumstances, then you have achieved an amazing thing

Big, big hug for you and your family tomorrow and always xxx

Thank you everyone.

I cant seem to find the words tonight.

I just feel so defeated.

I signed up to Antony Nolan, gave blood and joined the organ donor register when I read a previous thread of yours a few months ago.

I wish you had your daughter back too.

(((((((hugs)))))))

mrs D how i love to hear you talk about Billy.Your devotion and love for her shine through and i cannot imagine how much you must miss her but she had 14 years with such a fantastic Mummy which as you know is far more than some kids have.She knew nothing but your love for her and had you with her at the end thank goodness.

I cant give blood after cancer got me too but i will personally get dh to the blood donors next session.

I have a ds waiting for a kidney so can i jump on your band wagon and second the donor card plea?

Much love to you at this awful time.
