I didn't think we would get throu the first few weeks to be honest, but we did and we got throu the 6 week school holiday. It has been a rollercoaster ride and there have been many many times when I have felt like giving up, but I haven't the kids are doing so very well throu all of this and they drive me to carry on drinking trying my best.
Steve will be very proud of how well the kids are doing.
The kids are back to school on Wednesday so I will be able to get some more crap paperwork sorted out, Tracy has taken the kids to pizzahut today so I can catch up on Mn sleep and get rid of this headache.
Thankyou for all your support over the last year I hope in time I will be able to support others as well as I have been supported.

onlyjoking9329 · 03/09/2008 11:07

it was a tough morning Elliot is officially a senior school boy complete with blazer, he stays in his junior class for registration and a few other things then spends the afternoon in seniors, he looked very smart (see profile photos) i cried all the way home after elliot said he wished his dad could see him, i told him that his dad like me would be very proud.
the girls went off ok they looked smart too but abbey wouldnt let me take her photo.
well thats another hurdle out of the way.

Hi OJ, Reading you post made me smile, and its fantastic to see that after such a sad time you still have your sense of humour!

You and your brave children are amazing, and Iwish you nothing but health ang happiness together.

ps I did the race for life last June, inspired by my dad, and I Will be doing it again next year, probably in memory of my lovely dad by then. Its an amazing experience, very emotional, but lovely.
I am totally unfit, just walked round with my sisters and 2 good friends.
If you can do it, then try, its a lovely day.

squeaver · 02/09/2008 14:54

OJ - look how many people's lives you and Steve have touched on here. It's amazing. And I've spotted you on cvq's threads. What a big heart you have.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 02/09/2008 14:49

Thinking of you OJ, you really are an inspiration.

onlyjoking9329 · 02/09/2008 14:42

thankyou, i think we have no choice but to get on with it, ometimes that feels impossible and other times it is doable, i am still trying to get my head around it all and that is hard, i have a new status now and i don't really like it probably cos i didn't choose it, it chose me.

LackaDAISYcal · 02/09/2008 11:35

hey OJ

I think about you when I see your name in active convos.

Glad the DCs are doing well and that you are getting there; you are incredibly brave and strong.

ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe · 02/09/2008 11:29

Hi OJ

I can't believe it is 12 weeks already.

I think of you often, especially when I having a really crap day and I make myself put things in perspective.

You are an inspiration to lots of us.
