''Sending Love .....''

Would always make me think of you and WWU , Luise .

When I was really down I kept a ''Happy'' notebook .
I noted down each day something that happened which made me happy , its amazing how little it takes
to bring on that fuzzy feeling .
Not quite the same thing Luise , but just something that made me feel better .

I hope one day Pen your Ds realises that the corner he is backed into is too small and breaks free .
My own DS himself admitted that his DW wouldn't let anyone near their DD when she was born , including
himself , well hallelujah it wasn't just me after all .
So maybe they do realise their partner has got faults , there is hope after all .
One day Pen , one day .

dear Pen ...
You have more patience than me , you would think that as long as she doesn't have to see you ,
she could at least give your Ds time to visit .
You must find it unbearable at times holding your tongue and not saying what you feel .
That's where I failed , lucky for me it turned out ok , but it could easily have gone the other way and I
would be missing my family as we speak .
It's hard to keep busy ALL the time and those thoughts creep in .
I know what I would do , with both feet .....
sending hugs for those quiet times dear Pen ..<<>>

I was told I should have asked for photos !!
Mother of the groom ......lol
None of my collective family , 3000 photos taken , go figure !

Oh Dear its hankie time .....

I lost both dear pets in the same year , my dog was 14 and my cat 16 .Heartbreaking to say the least .
My dog had a stroke the year before she died but recovered , my cat was just old , dear pet .
My cat crawled and hid under a couch and stayed there for three days until she passed . On that day , I heard her
calling and ran to her . She came on my knee and died while I stroked her fur , yes she waited for me to say goodbye .
Oh my goodness , what sadness .
My dog , had another stroke and died in her sleep . They both rest in my garden .
After that I was so sad , I didn't realise how much their loss affected me until I decided to get another dog .
The cloud lifted and we have another rascal !
It's hard to live without pets once you have had them , true devotion and unconditional love , all for food , water , walks
and hugs ....cheap at the price ....<3

sending sloppy kisses for you dear Muffin from my furry rascal ....

I have a very needy daughter who is always asking me for money , rather than cause another argument , cold shoulder
treatment , my answer to her when she says she has no money is '' Neither do I , isn't it awful being poor .''
She will never ever be able to manage her life if she can't manage her funds .By forever giving I am prolonging
that process . She is single and shares a flat , but works full time so should be able to function without my bailouts
each month . Tough love , but now necessary .
Also, I am experiencing this cold economic climate and am tightening my belt , what's good enough for me , should be good enough for her , but then I don't enjoy nights out partying and new clothes every month .

I offered my DS 's handmade baby blanket to my DIL for my GD , ''No thanks'' , she said .
I think we are the only sentimental ones where our kids possessions are concerned , because they certainly
don't want them .

Perhaps you could start the conversation about something entirely different , rather than waiting for her . Then if she begins
about her GC again , just interrupt and say , As I was saying , and go on about your other subject .
If not , I would tell her you find it distressing , and could you talk about something else . Why suffer .
I would be horrified to think I was distressing someone else by my conversation .

In my case , I just want to be part of my gd life . My child rearing days are over and its up to the parents how they bring up their child . I just wanted to be a considered part of her life , the fun side 

Hello Grieving and Welcome :

If you have the time to read my history here , you will see my experience mirrors yours .
I wasn't even allowed to change my GD , so no chance of getting it wrong .
There is nothing wrong with attachment parenting and they as parents have every right to chose it , but please
inform all concerned relatives so as not to hurt and alienate them .
Not saying that this is the situation with your Ds Grieving .
However now my GD is 2 years old and my DIL is only too pleased to hand her over .
I know you want that fuzzy closeness of a new baby , but patience is a virtue and perhaps eventually
the newness will wear off and they will be glad of another pair of hands .
So cuddle that baby when you get the chance , and if the baby  steals your heart , it's worth it ....

Lovely ring Luise , but they don't ship to UK ....

I love the lapel pin Pooh , you could wear it underneath your lapel if it didnt match your outfit . I loved the umbrella , symbolising  protection of the WWU in all weathers. I vote the pin .

these Shamballa bracelets are very reasonable to buy and easy to wear , not to mention fashionable ??

I know how you're feeling , my doctor has been off ill for a year , and she has seen me through lots too . She also gave me Acupuncture for my arthritis , and now the poor lady has the same . I now see other doctors but they dont know me like she did , plus you see a different one each time ... and.now no Acupuncture . I wonder if she.treats herself ? I know its the same drugs I'm getting , but its like filling a shopping list , no feeling of.care . Keeping calm nevertheless .
