I think we have had this title before but it seems appropriate for spring

I have started this thread in honour of all our children but particularly Fraser who would have been 7 today. Happy birthday son we still miss you dearly. You will always be our firstborn and we always remember you in our hearts

Shabs I am sure you are helping , it is good she is able to be honest with you but I hope you are being kind to yourself too xx

Congratulations mini, so pleased you got good news today xx

greenzebra a very hard day for you, it's just so draining isn't it? I hope the evening is gentle for you. As others say, just one moment/hour at a time is all you can do sometimes. I saw your comment about Kelly Brook and just wanted to say how wholeheartedly I agree. My DD died and was born at 20 weeks. Technically she is a miscarriage, but I laboured and gave birth to her, held her, named her, she was blessed, she was buried and she has a grave in our cemetery. I count her as my child. I think there is a difference between early and late miscarriage and its hard that the words don't reflect that. Very hard to have your 5 month baby dismissed as "one of those things" (the words of a woman at work Angry I was fucking incandescent)

greenzebra i remember those days all to clearly, just take it an hour/day at a time. Make you feel my love always makes me cry now, i used to sing along (badly) to it for Zoe. It is such a fitting song.

CheeseandGherkins · 12/05/2011 16:26

Added Scarlett's dates to the list, hope it's ok to have a few as I had the day we found out she died, then her birth, due date and funeral.

Minione · 12/05/2011 17:27

Ah, Bumble looks a real cutie!

travellingwilbury · 12/05/2011 18:36

Cheese you can add any dates you like , I hope you have a more peaceful night tonight .

I have had a real Harry day today , no idea why , just woke up that way .
And then when I got in from work I saw my lovely lovely friend had sent me a cd through the post of songs from the TCF yearly forum last weekend . How good is that for timing ?

Had a good sob and feel lots better now . Good to allow yourself to have a good old wallow .
