"Small was feeling grim and dark. He was playing toss and fling and bang and crash. Break and snap and bash and batter. Small said ?I?m a grim and grumpy little small and nobody loves me at all?. ?Oh Small,? said Large. ?Grumpy or not, I?ll always love you no matter what.?

Small said, ?If I was a grizzly bear would you still love me would you still care?? ?Of course,? said Large ?bear or not, I?ll always love you no matter what.?

Small said ?But if I turned into a bug, would you still love me and give me a hug?? ?Of course,? said Large ?bug or not, I?ll always love you no matter what.?

?No matter what?? said Small, and smiled, ?What if I was a crocodile?? Large said ?I?d hug you close and hold you tight and tuck you up in bed at night?.
?Does love wear out? said Small, ?does it break or bend? Can you fix it, stick it, does it mend?? ?Oh help,? said Large ?I?m not that clever I just know I?ll love you forever?.

Small said ?but what about when you?re dead and gone, would you love me then, does love go on?? Large held Small snug as they looked out at the night, at the moon in the dark and the stars shining bright.

?Small look at the stars ? how they shine and glow, but some of those stars died a long time ago. Still they shine in the evening skies. Love, like starlight, never dies?.

NO MATTER WHAT by Debi Gliori

Oh Caz - thats amazing xxx

spilttheteaagain · 26/08/2011 16:43

Caz that is an AMAZING figure, well done you!!

Well ladies, I've come to announce the arrival of my second lovely daughter. Freya Alexandra was born on Monday 22nd at 14.41, healthy and perfect, 7lb 7oz. We are overjoyed and cannot believe she's really here.

We came home on Wednesday evening, nervously happy with our precious new bundle, and found in the post an invitation to the baby remembrance service. This year it is actually being held on 7th October, the 1st anniversary of the day we found out Bobbie had died. Very bittersweet.

Love to all, and sorry not to have been around much recently. I think of you all lots xx

Well folks, i'm a little but fucking annoyed. I've just ahd a PM from a journo wanting me to talk about why i decided not to abort Ciaran, and instead go through with the pregnancy knowing he head a fetal anomaly. As if i don;t agonise every day over the decisions i made then. Harumph.

shabbapinkfrog · 26/08/2011 21:43

You mean PM on here Dee? x

deemented · 26/08/2011 21:47

Hiya blue, hiya everyone xxx am really struggling at the moment. I think it's the lull after the back to school combined with another lull. Was lifted last week to hear that my nomination from a couple of friends for me to be a torchbearer for London 2012 has passed the initial sifting. Judging happening in oct-dec so will find out then if I've been selected. Am incredibly touched to have been nominated n got this far. How are you all doing today? Xx

Bluetinkerbell · 28/08/2011 13:45

ppm you know where to find me on FB whenever you need a chat Wink
so cool you could be a torchbearer! will think of you and hope you get it!

Hey Peter.. what a wonderful thing to be nominated for - will keep our fingers crossed for you

We seem to be going through aquiet period on here. Is it just the summer hols that are keeping us all busy

We are all kinda back in the routine up here as schools went back a few weeks ago.

Ross came home Fri very upset and says he cant keep up with his writing.. spoke to teacher today and she says he is too hard on himself and is doing fine

I havent been to Frasers garden in a while... I need to go soon (sigh) I want to go and dont want to go if that makes sense

hope you are all ok
