Well today is the anniversary of my dads death so going to keep busy. I always said he was an old romantic dying on valentines day so he could join my mum.

Going to pop & see my big brother as he is poorly had 4 mini strokes a week ago he is only 50. He also has to go into hospital for a major spinal op as well but they will not do it for 3 months now so he is a bit down. I shall go and cheer him up.[:D]

Keep your chin up Buttercup!

It takes things like this to make us realise that our debts problems are pretty insignificant to the whole scheme of life.

Not nice for your brother - bet he had built himself up for that op! But I do think (in some very strange way) that things do happen for a reason and fate has a very odd pack of cards that she deals but it wouldn't be dealt to s if she didn't think we were capable of handling it.

It is always days like this that are hard when we have lost someone so close. I lost my sister two years ago at 41 of a brain tumour. It is hard but we just need to remember the good times, and they are no longer suffering. I feel as time goes on it does get a little easier but obviously we will never forget. Keep smiling [:)]

Hi Buttercup, keep smiling through your day, I'm sure your dad will be watching you and be very proud of you for dealing with it so well. I lost my mam over 3 yrs ago so know how hard it is and I truly miss her everyday, but I have my memories and know she is always with me. My best wishes to you and your brother, [:)]

Time is a great healer & I miss my mum & dad very much but have great memories of them.

Hovish losing your sister so young must have been very hard

Hi Buttercup,

Yes it was so hard especially with her having two young girls. I miss her so much, not being able to talk to her, having been through so much over the last couple of years, but at least I have memories.
