Oh sorry OJ, bad idea.

onlyjoking9329 · 28/02/2008 21:57

not a bad idea as such and it might be good for later on.

Glad you got that cuddle today, OJ

imaginaryfriend · 28/02/2008 22:00

I have to say, OJ, I can see what Steve means about looking at photographs. It's an unbearably sad thought to imagine what he's feeling.

onlyjoking9329 · 28/02/2008 22:16

He is in a very dark place and i wished i could show him some sunshine

I'm sure he still has moments where you and the kids are his sunshine - just that there are too few moments like that.

Good luck with the meeting tomorrow. x

I would imagine that all sweet things are bitter-sweet. I've often wondered how people who are terminally ill make that change from feeling nothing but pain and fear to embracing the life and love they've had and being able to leave life in peace.

onlyjoking9329 · 28/02/2008 22:56

Steve doesn't seem able to find peace at the moment, he is back on the morphine again now.

It's hard enough to read your thread now, OJ - I can't imagine how difficult it must be to be living it!

Lots of strong hugs and positive vibes are heading your way to help you through the meeting, lovely. I hope that solething can be worked so that Steve can be safely at home.

Lots of love,

My thoughts, as always, are with you today OJ, I hope the meeting is a positive one that supports you, steve and the children and a decision is made about Steves future care that you can all deal with.

Thru managing various pubs in my life I have met some not so very nice people. Have dispatched 4 of them in a BMW with tinted windows to "speak" to MIL should she turn up!!! IYSWIM !!!!!!
