Yes I heard that too t875 so in fact I heard my mums funeral song twice in a short space of time. I was goin to turn the tele over. But then. Thought. I cant escape it forever so left it. But I'm ok again now, it was just hearing it( twice) then the leona Lewis song àll In a little while. I actually love the leona song, it's just so sad and right after the first westlife it was a bit too much for me tonight

Yeah same! I think if I'd heard it by Daniel I donnell I think I'd have really have lost it!

Next of kin was great though on x factor! Through the key hole was funny though! Then we caught up on I love my country which was good!!

That's who sang on my mums version actually, he was one of mums fav singers. My brother chose that music.i may of chosen something different. But that's what he wanted so we had that. Mum saw him several times when he came to our town.

Mummy Lin I can't believe his our mums were alike! My mum loved Daniel I donnell and saw him loads with my dad. We also had d I donnell raise me up for my mums funeral song. And also one other which I can't remember. Me and my brother like foot steps too in relation to my mums passing. X

mummylin2495 · 15/09/2013 00:15

Wow that is a coincidence. We had flying without wings.

I'm feeling blah again but trudging on. Least the suns out today! Had to get up and watch TV to shake off my thinking. Sad it has got a bit easier but times like this no spiritual belief or the spiritual thinking she's with me helps x

Marshy · 15/09/2013 11:34

Thanks ssd. I've been welling up (on the quiet) already and haven't even left the house yet! We're off at 1pm.
My boob is feeling sore too. Probably from the biopsies or just psychological as it never has before.
Must get on, will check in later.
Hope everyone has a good day.

supermariossister · 15/09/2013 17:55

thinking of you marshy.

my gramps likes daniel odonnel he sings often, more so these days think its his escape. we had save tonight by eagle eye cherry and fairytale of new york by the pogues. mum would of pissed herself laughing at us all walking out of church to:

You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last

Ironic that she was belting it out in 2011 and then she didnt see christmas 2012. never thought in a million years that would happen

mummylin2495 · 15/09/2013 18:01

I have chosen run by snow patrol and if I fall behind by Bruce Springsteen and the e street band for my funeral!

mummylin2495 · 15/09/2013 20:03

Oh badvoc it was " run" that tipped me over te top last night and made me cry. The words are so sad, but I like the Leona Lewis version. How strange that , you t875 and myself all have the same music. ! Although for t875 it's different tune but still same singer how is your mum?

OP posts:
t875 · 15/09/2013 20:28

Super Mario sister I bet your mum was laughing at the pogues! And how you wrote it I have to say it made me Grin
I know what you mean. We celebrated my mums birthday for her 65th birthday 2011 who would have thought 2012 her birthday wouldn't have her there

I've got through my day been hard but got through.
Hope your all best you can.
I think it's very ironic we had and have so many Daniel I donnell songs. My mum adored him. Is he still going? My dad liked him too but my mum was in the fan club etc saw him at Albert hall London.
My dads finding it hard getting about as he's pulled tendons in his knee. I feel for him as he feels tied to the house at the moment.

Badvoc · 15/09/2013 20:39

Mum seems ok thanks Lin. Fingers x the new meds work.
I love the lyrics of "run"....I totally understand that it made you well up! Do youtube "if I fall behind" - its really beautiful (I think anyway)
My mum is Irish so I grew up listening to lots of Irish groups and singers. I am not a fan of Daniel myself but mum loves him. I love the pogues tough!! :)
I think dh and I might try and get a weekend away at some point. We are like ships that pass in the night ATM and he is away with work this week for 2 days :(

t875 · 15/09/2013 20:42

Glad your mum is doing ok badvoc!

I'm sure will be good for you and dh especially with him working away. Be good for you for the break too x

mummylin2495 · 16/09/2013 00:30
