on this day last year

[onlyjoking9329]

we had an early birthday for our girls as DH(steve) was not expected to be alive for their birthday, today abbey and bethan have talked about this day last year they have a thing about dates and i have found today really tough, they seem ok about it and i think their autism protects them from the emotional aspects of it all, i cant believe that it is 50 weeks since steve died.
there is no point to this post i just wanted to type it all out so to speak, i am struggling with stuff at the moment.

I still think of you often OJ, it's nice to see you posting

I lost my lovely dad 14 years ago now and I still do the 'this time 14 years ago....' thing, I've done it ever since he passed. And even though it is 14 years since he went it still seems like yesterday, but now I can think of him and smile at memories rather than cry because I've lost him

Thinking of you xx

I can't believe it's been a year since the trifle eating tributes to Steve !

Thinking of you OJ, and your lovely children

Ooh I will never forget the trifle tribute! Maybe we could have another one on Steve's anniversary

To OJ and your wonderful family, you have been in my thoughts in the last few days as I knew it was coming up for a year. My fondest wishes to you all xxx

Oj,
i have been thinking of you, i remember last year so very well, The girls birthday the early fathers day and steve died the day after. These are tough days for you but i know you are one very strong lady and steve would be proud of you.
do you have any plans for tomorrow? will it include trifle? will you have any contact with steves family?
sending hugs to you and your beautiful children.

OJ, thinking of you and your DC today. Hope you get through it - if there are tears I hope they have some happiness in them too for the good times you shared and the love you had. Peace and strength to you all.

OJ, thinking of you and yours today.

Thinking of you all today OJ.

You're doing a great job and whilst this first year has been understandably difficult I hope that life has some happier times waiting for you. Not better than the past but happy with all the good and great memories of Steve becoming stronger than the sad ones of his illness.

Dear OJ,

thinking of you and your children today

i cant believe that it has been a year OJ, hoping that time will help to ease your heartache.How are all your children doing now ?

Thinking of all of you today OJ.

Whenever I see trifle I think of Steve.

I hope you feel some sort of peace/relief tomorrow, first anniv's are such high hurdles to jump xxx

x OJ.

OJ - a year is a tough milestone. The grief doesn't go away does it, it just shifts gear. It's no wonder things are stirring up for you right now.

Try and channel it if you can. Get it out if it's tears, find your own way to honour him if that will help.

My dad passed away just before your DH did. I'm running the race for life again in a couple of weeks. Will think of you and your family on the day.

Sending all positive vibrations your way

Wishing you peace today OJ. x

Hey OJ, thinking of you.
