[triplets]

Hi, are there any triplet mums out there I could chat with?
I am very much an older Mum, will be 50 in March and my triplets have just had their 4th birthday!
Love to hear from you.
Anne.

Hi triplets - sorry, just seen your post. This article by Michael Billington first led me to the play. It quotes the relevant passage. I also got a mint second-hand copy of 'Shipwreck', the second play in the trilogy, from abebooks.

Hi Triplets, did you see a new triplet mum has just joined Mumsnet? She's on another thread today, and is about your age, I think.

Hi everyone,
Its nice to be back in touch, I have been out of circulation for a few weeks, had a very stressful time including the deaths of two very special friends in the last week, up to Durham and back for one of the funerals in 24 hours.Then on Tues it was our 25th wedding a/v and we did not celebrate it, much to everyones shock. We have not exactly been getting on these last few months, and the children have been so unbelievably awful, the stress has just built and built, then Bob died, then Dolly. I just wanted to cry all day, I wanted Matthew to be here, I wanted my lovely Dad who walked me down the aisle to be here.....I just couldn`t cope. Anyway I woke up this morning and I have told myself that the only way is up, I have done it before and I will do it again! Yes I have just sen the message am just about to reply to the other triplet Mum.......at last I am not alone!!!!!
Thank you for the message about Tom Stoppard, I will be in to the library tomorrow.

Oh, triplets, what an awful time for you. Some people just get everything piled on top of them, don't they?
Hope you and DH, and the kids, can manage to sort everything out and start pulling in the same direction...

hugs {{{}}}

btw, Copper, I know a family with 6 kids and they are as you said - 1,3 & 5 are alike and so are 2, 4 & 6. Totally different from each other.

Triplets - I know I don't know you well at all, but I wanted to send across my sympathies to you. How sad to lose your two friends and then I went on to read the thread about Matthew...I cannot even begin to imagine the devastation. I lost my father in May and I cry at times several times a day. I ache inside that I am now the older generation and an orphan...it is so unbelievable to me, I don't know how you prepare for this in life. I myself am 46 and had my DD later in my life also. Stay Well and I will watch this thread. My heart is with you.

triplets, I have been reading through this thread and just read the bit about you all being upgraded to first class and Matthew getting the shaving kit - I have a son of 15 and it really makes me sad to try to imagine living without him. So hard for you, even with the little ones.

Im really sorry about your son,i cant imagine it ,i have a son 23,hes a pain sometimes but i love him,he lives away from home now,got his own life to lead,loves the babies,visits sometimes,its now my babies that need me most,so i try to enjoy every minute i can with them,this time is so precious and dosnt come again,i dont want to speed up their growth but i am looking forward to them walking with me in the park and jumping on leaves in the autumn, and spashing in puddles,looking at their faces when they see trees and leaves and conkers,feeding the ducks and talking about it ,and asking questions,it makes everything new when u look through their eyes with them,christmas is coming and they will be looking at the decorations and watching the bright coloured lights,i know its hard work,and i fall into bed sometimes,but i also take time to go out with dh and get a babysitter in,we go out to have some quiet time,but our babies are now our main priority and live round them while their so small,
triplets why dont u e-mail me,im in bucks

I'm also sorry you've had such a hard time. I can't imagine how you cope with triplets, and am in awe. I hope things improve for you soon.

Me too, triplets

Hi everyone,
What would I do without you all. you lift me up when I am so often down. Feeling exhausted at the moment.........wonder why? Still, this week has been a better one, and my trio have been good, not angels, but good. A girl in their class came back to school this week, she has been missing for a while, I noticed she had a dressing on her foot and was limpimg, so I asked her Mum what was wrong. She has been in hospital most of the summer hols, she had a large growth removed from her toe, its cancer. I just wanted to hug her, in fact I did, I felt her fear, and knew just how strong she would have to be when in fact all she probably wants to do is cry. Life is so unfair at times, but as I know its no good asking, "why me", because the answer to that is, "why not me". Losing my lovely child has cetainly taught me alot of lessons, mainly, always tell those you love that you love them, always forgive, and always live for today.

So well said Triplets and as long as I can post, it is an honor to give you some comfort!
