Incy wincy tarantula

Ps hope your hand isnt playing you up too much

Hope you get through today and it's a fitting tribute to your grandad. Thinking of you
(thanks for starting thread tarantula)

I was thinking about you on the way to work this morning - really hope today goes smoothly and withouth problems

Hope things start to get better for you now

(nice thought Tarantula - good on ya)

Hi Squirrel, just want to say that I am thinking of you also. You amongst others have helped me so much recently, I only wish I could help you get through today. What wonderful friends we have that think enough of us to actually start threads about us!!! Thanks Tarantula x

Thank you everyone for thinking of me,

An extra special thank you to you tarantula and I know you are not the 'hugs' type but you are going to have one anyway {hug}.

I was woken up on Friday morning by a rather loud clap of thunder, looked out of the window, saw the lightening and rain and thought tp myself "Oh, Grandad your having a laugh aren't you" lol. It was either him wanting to have a laugh at us all gtting soaked or him banging on the pearly gates demanding to be let in!! I can just hear him "I'm here at last now LET ME IN!!!"

The funeral service was a very fitting tribute, the Salvation Army band all turned out and played his favourite hymns and played a tribute to him (when he was young he played in the SA band for many, many years)

The bible reading summed up my Grandad,

"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, It does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

My Uncle spoke of my Grandads "Pure and honest heart".

I'm going to miss him so much...

Bump...

I just wanted to make sure you saw this Tarantula and to tell you again how much I appreciated your support and the kind thoughts.

is that the New English version of the Corinthians passage we chose for Mum, Squirrel?
glad all went well
It's really odd feeling after a funeral, isn't it, after all the build up
Wishing peace to you all

Hi Squirrel I saw your messages yesterday and was jsut about to reply when all hell broke loose here at work (bloody typical eh). By the time it was all sorted it was well gone hometime. It was all the bosses fault too (I got in a few nice little digs at him abot it too).

In so glad the funeral was a fitting tribute. Sounds wonderful and a good celebration of his life. Im so glad that when you thin of you grandad you can remember hsi funeral like that and there was nothing to spoil the occasion. He sounds like he was an inspiration to everyone. I did wonder if it was raining there too and thought 'what a day for a funeral, Squirrel's grandad knows how to do it in style'. That reading is beautiful and one of my favourites.

I was cycling across Wimbledon Common when the rain started and got SOAKED (but boy was it fun just like being a child again, luckily had a full change of clothes at work).

Gotta fly (blody work) but will be back to talk more later.

Ninah, the bible reading was for grandad not for my mum [confused emoticon?]

Sorry if I have misunderstood what you was trying to say, I'm not thinking to clearly ATM.

sorry we had it for my mum but the old version which says Charity, I'm sure it's the same. Remember suggesting it when you were looking as it seemed to fit your grandad.
I remember feeling really blank and spaced out after the funeral too. xx

Sorry for the confusion I didn't know that was the reading that you had used for for your Mum, sorry.

no need to apologise! hope you are OK
it really hits you now. Found music helped. Don't know what to say. Post if you need a chat.

Hi Squirrel, I have posted on another thread but dont know if you have seen it. I am so sorry for everything that has happened in your life recently. I only wish there was something I could do to help. Please dont go from this site, you amongst others have been a godsend for me. When I was on the verge of throwing in the towel, you helped me get back on my feet again. This site wouldnt be the same without you. I / We need you. xxxx

Squirrel if you need to talk you are welcome to CAT me. xxx

Tarantula, I'll try to pop back later but Lea has got her appointment with the orthopeadic surgen (sp? sorry can't spell today), we are hoping that they can correct her hips with This I know it looks horrible but dd's harness was much worse and sadly it didn't work but we are hoping that with Lea it will.

Thank you Sam, don't know if I could ever leave permanently 'cos I'm addicted.

Squirell! Hope that everything goes okay with Lea, keep in touch xxxx

PS Changed me name as everyone suggested! x

well done sam

Hope everything goes ok with Lea today. Ill be thinking about her. Let us know how it goes later.

this is what has been happening.

Its a long read, sorry.

What else can go wrong?

whoah squirrel sorry didn't see this rarely on at weekends. How is dd? so sorry life is so grim for you atm.

dd is devestated, like any mother she wants her kids to have the best life possible, she doesn't want her dd to go through what she went and still through.

She feels guilty, thinks its her fault. I told her that it isn't her fault and infact if she didn't have the condition they wouldn't have found out about dgd until much later. They told dd at the hospital that unless they treat dgd she will be unable to walk and the sooner they treat her the more sucessful it would be. They didn't tell us what the treatment would be.

She is suffering from pnd, I don't know how to help her, she seems to be in an even blacker hole than I am ATM and I am trying my best but it doesn't seem enough.

thank goodness she has you. but you need someone to lean on too. Any sign of humanity from dp yet?

Dont really know how I feel about him ATM, there is to much going on to even face what is happening with him.

The way he has been he is very low on my list of piorities ATM, don't know if thats wrong, but I don't care to be honest.

He is still here, I supose he is trying a bit but things have got so bad its going to take a lot to make things right again.

if he's trying a bit maybe it would bring you closer to share your worries (even if you feel like cutting his throat atm)?
