    Big hugs Ginger.

    Well we had a ball, K had a wonderful time and was absolutely spoilt. Today has been lovely, lots of blobbing around, although we did manage a good walk this morning.

    Well Happy Boxing Day everyone!

    First of all big big hugs to Ginger . My dear friend: not being able to talk about it IS part of grieving - don't be so hard on yourself. I don't talk about this much on BB but I can see, hear and feel Spirit - my experience doing psychic readings and healings has taught me that our special loved ones are often with us after they have passed over. Most people only ever catch a fleeting sensation or glimpse - we are too wrapped up in our physical senses to be able to perceive the energy - but I am 100% sure your Mum has been with you as you struggle with your terrible grief, and that she sees and knows what a joy and consolation L (and esp J) has been to you and especially your dad. xxx

    What a wonderful day we had yesterday. As you know it all starts on Christmas Eve...very first pressie off the rank was a bag of Avon Little Blossom stuff... DD was absolutely taken with it - the lipbalm most of all - and spent the whole night getting each bottle out and putting them back - and lipbalming her mouth...didn't want to put it down long enough to open any of her other presents LOL. The big hit yesterday was the wooden cutting vegetables - and then later the scooter from her aunty...she scootered up and down the hallway all afternoon LOL. DD1 was very well pleased with her "loot" (as she calls it) too. We stayed out quite late both nights and were rewarded with a biiiiiig sleepin this morning - really going to chill out and try to maintain that holiday feeling at least thru until Tues...DH is finally starting to relax and smile a bit a more, poor man needs all the R&R he can get.

    Awwww G hun I'm sure that she would *know* about your boys and the special relationship that your Dad has with them. Maybe this was all in a great big plan, that you were meant to fall pg with L so your Dad had someone as his offsider kwim? I don't have a religion and I'm not sure I believe in God, but I do believe that things happen for a reason.

    Well we had a lovely day. We didn't get to bed till 2am yesterday because Santa also brought rain, so we had to wait till it stopped before we could go up to the shed and get the cubby and motorbike and bring them to the house. So we were dead tired by last night LOL. The kids loved what they got though. All we got them were the cubby and bike, but because Alister is too little for the bike and poor kid has buckleys and none of the girls letting him in the cubby we got him a farmyard and barn and some farm animals which he loved. Mum and my brother spoilt them again. My brother is single with no kids so he loves to spoil them rotten. The IL's got them loads of craft stuff which will keep them happy over the holidays. SIL got Alister this little remote control car which has wheels that light up and he thinks it's awesome - he sits down with the control and thinks he is just neat driving his car around. Mind you he puts it on full lock so all it does is donuts

    Hi Girls!

    G: i think this would be a hard time for you and you have every right to grieve and wonder about the 'what ifs'.

    MD: yeah, we have gone for a road trip up to QLD to be with my grandparents. pity we didnt take notice of the floodwarnings though...

    hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas and that the kids all enjoyed themselves and the pressies immensley!
