Home fires, candles and gin for zombie

[atheistmantis]

Another thread, home fires is going to fill soon.

UPDATE FROM HQ New thread here
Love and light from HQ too

Thinking of you Zombie and hope that you're pain free. I hope the love in these threads is of some small comfort to your family.

TheRealLoisLane , I hope your DSis is as comfortable as possible.

Happy - what a truely beautiful poem.

It really sums up what I believe and how I envisage things will be.

Bath

All the best to him - but I really think a purple wig has to be found!

Happy what lovely words!

Bathsheba bet he looks fabulous! Hope it goes well xx

Bath bet he looks amazing.

Bath I bet he looks grand

Have a large gin lass.

BathshebaLad 🤗😁. He's a riot! Have you got him knitting yet?

Here is my candle for you Zombie and you are in my thoughts.

All too often we forget that behind every username on here is a real life person. This thread has brought it home that the advice I received when I so desperately needed it came from such an inspiring, strong and wonderful woman.

Zombie

Afternoon all, just checking in!

Best of luck to BathsLad - bet the wig looks great and it's kind of fitting that it's red!

Thank heavens it's Friday! Definitely going to break out the Baileys tonight I think.

Love to Zombie and family

Lovely words happy, so comforting to be able to "picture" what it may be like at that time of departure.

Truly hoping it will be sublime for dear Zombie. It feels as if the love from all these threads is strong enough to lift her up to where she is going.

bath long red wig sounds awesome (purple does sound better though )

Yum Baileys. Wonder if the breast feeding baby would mind if I had a very small glass tonight in zombies honour?
I feel the need to keep posting but don't really know what to say. Zombie I have only (mostly) lurked on your threads but I have seen your kindness, strength and fun spirit shine through. You have been in my thoughts throughout the last few weeks. Love to you and your family and friends.

Peppa, almost no alcohol crosses into your milk. There's no reason not to have a glass or two of anything you want.

I feel Zombie would want me to tell you that. (It is true though.)

I hope you are pain free and with loved ones Zombie. If you have that, it's enough. Much love.

Buggery bollocks they wouldn't take my blood because I've taken a tablet for thrush. I'm on the system though and giving in 2 weeks.
Hope you had a peaceful day Zombie

Oh my goodness thank you all for all the thoughts & wishes, I'm overwhelmed.

I'm on my phone & it's difficult to name check but will try to cover as much as I can.

To whomever asked if she is an MNer, so she's not, but I posted on a thread with K&P & they sent her a beautiful beautiful blanket which is on her bed. I don't think I could split it, there's more sisters than me & it would be unfair - but a beautiful thought x

The macmillan nurse cane today & it was decided to leave her at home for the time being. Yesterday was an awful day & we couldn't cope seeing her how she was.
Thankfully today brought her to us brighter than in a while.

Although she may not be allowed to begin the next course of chemo - we think this might be a good thing, her wee body needs a rest. She needs to be alert enough to chat to the children, they haven't had a talk with her in a week now.

We have all the numbers at hand & if she goes back down we can call the hospice at the weekend.

Zombie, I've been thinking of you all day x

Well in that case I will definitely crack open something tonight.

Therealloislane You and your family are also in my thoughts.

Therealloislane
It sounds as though your sister has one of the Kinship Hugs. I hope it provides her with some love and comfort.

Thinking of lovely Zombie too

Delurking to send dear Zombie all my wishes of comfort and gin. Although I have never posted on your threads I have read so many of them and you have left an impact on me with your zest for life and stoical approach to your new journey

“A legacy is the impact and impression an individual makes and leaves behind in the lives of others; it no longer represents the individual, it represents the people who carry on his or her name with passion and integrity.”

Zombie you are a Legend. Travel in peace x

My thoughts are with all those on this thread facing loss.

My family has cause to know about the wonders worked by hospices. I will always be grateful.

Thereal a hand reaching out to you from a big sister who has been in a very similar situation. It is so hard. Love to you and your family.

Z and your loved ones, wishing you much peace

A kinship hug, that's exactly what it is.

Thanks to all the big sister (and little ones) who are with me in thought x

Thereal and Bath - sending some strength vibes (yes, my face is all screwed up in concentration) - to keep you going.

BathsLad - if it helps I have a couple of very long red (gingineer, remember) braids I can donate to add to the beauty of the current wig. No purple though

My dad loves to dance. I am imagining him waiting horribly impatiently at the door, itching to whisk Zombie over the threshold in a spirited tango - a fitting entrance methinks. Start as you mean to go on!

About to light a scrumptious, sweet scented candle here. Sending caramel vibes your way, Candy. Thinking of everyone in the world battling cancer tonight.

Time for

Can I offer Zombie a smoking buddy? My Nan is no doubt being trailed around with a cloud of yellowish smoke so she'll be easy to spot and will always have a ciggy to spare in exchange for a gossip and laugh.
