Hope you people have had a good week.

Learnt a few days back that a friend of mine had passed away after a short illness. May she rest in peace. She leaves three children.

Lest we forget how fragile we are.

Sorry to hear about these sad losses of friends and family for several of you. So many people seem to be going through a tough time for one reason or another.

Wow not just me having a bad week then. My dad is dying in hospital, the situation is changing daily and we are all so drained from it, I just want peace for him now. We are heading towards diagnosis for my son and I have lost my trust in his school which is secondary to the first two problems but still I am so sad about it. Sorry to hear about everyone else's problems but do you know hat, I am going to get through all if this and so are you :-)

That should say, do you know what. I felt like I was making a powerful statement there!! (Time for a Baileys methinks)

Lola and Learning so sorry about your Mum and your Dad.

So much sad news. So sorry.

Learning Which hospital is your dad in, or where abouts in the country? Is it easy for you to get to?

Starlight Thank you, I don't want to reveal too much but yes I live locally to the hospital he is in and he has lots of visitors, one of the benefits of a large family. Not that he knows anymore, but there is someone watching over him most of the time. Thanks again.

I love the story about the little girl getting told off in class. Having a child with significant speech delay, part of me wants to punch the air every time he answers back to me lol.

Oh Learning. I went throught the same 18 months ago with my Dad and then my uncle just 2 months ago. I hope the journey is bearable for you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about so many losses, . Kinda puts everything into perspective.

It never rains, it pours :(

I've got threads in Chat and the Doghouse that explain but suffice to say, not having a good night :(
