Hello everyone amd a big thank you to all of you xx

I have had a crappy day but I have survived , I am going to have a couple of drinks tonight and toast my boy .

My other two have never really known about the dates but this time asked and remembered , they wanted to send a balloon up for him to play with so we did that this afternoon (in the piddling rain)
It was heart breaking listening to them saying goodbye to the balloon and telling Harry to have a good birthday .

I hope everyone is ok today xx

shabbapinkfrog · 07/10/2009 18:07

Awwwww your DC sound fantastic...if only we could all see the world through a childs eyes. On Gareth and Matts 21st birthdays we let off loads of balloons. We all stood there with massive lumps in our throats not daring to talk and Tom who would have been 5 and 7 yrs screamed with laughter and wanted to send more and more off. xxxxx

Happy Birthday Harry, a candle is lit here for you. Sending you and your family hugs TW xx

ILikeToQuickstepItTangoIt · 07/10/2009 20:57

Oh Everlong

I bet it feels just like more unanswered questions. Having to live with the questions is so hard.

TW - how did you know I wanted a glass of rose?

chegirl · 07/10/2009 21:54

(((Everlong))) I am sorry there are no answers

shabbapinkfrog · 07/10/2009 22:05

Everlong - so glad you are here with us but so wish you didnt have to be. Cannot imagine how you are feeling tonight. Sending massive hugs.

Just poured a glass of cider apple juice. Chocolate candle lit. Happy Birthday Harry xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cheers TW xxxxx

Good morning everyone , Onwards and upwards eh ? xx

travellingwilbury · 08/10/2009 07:52

Everlong , what a tough day that must have been yesterday , how you doing today ?
It is so hard, the not knowing , big hugs to you xxx

Deemented · 08/10/2009 08:50

Oh Everlong - it's so bloody hard when you can't find the answers, isn't it? big hugs to you, my love.

TW - how are you feeling today? I always find, after the anniversary/birthday, that it's a relief, iykwim? And also somewhat of a surprise that i've lived through it and the worlds still turning and i'm still here.
Hugs to you too.

Oh feck it, hugs to everyone today. I'm feeling snotty, slightly damp and bloody hormonal.

travellingwilbury · 08/10/2009 08:56

Thanks Dee , you are right about the relief feeling , I have managed another birthday and survived is all I can think .But then I feel very guilty that I want it over .
A mothers guilt is ridiculous isn't it ?
