Oh MB, been posting on some of the same threads but didn't know about your dh. How you've remained so gracious, witty & strong, I don't know, I'm in awe. So very sorry and hope all goes well for you and your family tomorrow.

DrNortherner · 01/07/2008 21:38

Oh God I must have missed the sad news

I am truly truly truly sorry MB.

From your posts it was very clear you loved your dh dearly and him you.

I've never met you yet I feel so sad for you all.

Much love
xx

I must have missed the sad news, having been away for the weekend. I am so sorry-my thoughts will be with you tomorrow.

Soapbox · 01/07/2008 21:53

MB - I hope that in amongst the sadness of tomorrow you and your children find a moment or two to celebrate the life and love of a good man!

Not many people are lucky enough to be loved by someone like your husband and I hope that you can take some strength from that tomorrow.

I'll be thinking of you all!

Have only just seen this news. You and your children will be in my thoughts.

flossish · 01/07/2008 22:21

Oh MB I am so very sorry. I came on to see how things were with you and am sorry to see this. I hope tomorrow is all that you hope it can be, and that it is a fitting send of to a very loved and by all accounts very lovely man. You don't need me to tell you how amazingly well he has done and I really hope that the last few months have brought you some lovely memories together to treasure forever. My thoughts are with you. xxx

I'm going to do the eulogy. I've got it down to 7 minutes, which is quite something for a verbose Welsh woman. I have it on paper in case I fall apart, and someone else will read it if need be. But I think that I can do it

MrsWeasley · 01/07/2008 23:06

Will be thinking of you and will raise a cup in your DS's honour.

Take care
xx

BetteNoire · 01/07/2008 23:08

Do it if you can, MB.
And if you can't, it will still be your words and sentiments, no matter who reads it.
Wishing you strength for tomorrow.

sphil · 01/07/2008 23:08

Well if the eulogy is half as articulate as your posts on here it'll be wonderful. Will be thinking of you and will raise a mug tomorrow at 1.10.

northender · 01/07/2008 23:11

A friend of mine died and her dh did the eulogy. It was the bravest most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Wishing you and the dc the strength you all need.
