SOOP's kindly Kitcheners.

Soutra and don't forget the most important thing...FRIENDSHIP

Oh bella what sad news. I am sure it is what you have been dreading but expecting for some time now. Your family have had enough distress for a lifetime recently. I really hope you are able to make the most of your time together and that your family as a strong rock to cling to. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Bellasnana for you and your family.

Dearest Bella x

Bellasnana - what a difficult time for you all. Thinking of you.

Bella my thoughts and prayers are with you and your lovely husband. You have my number if there's anything I can do,

Oh bella. May his remaining time be as pain and trouble free for all of you, is my wish. I hope your DS makes it back in time.

I love the poem, soop.

Bella I am so sorry to hear that sad news. I do hope that your son arrives home in time. What a sad, distressing time for you.

soop thank you so much for remembering that we needed a sound proof area for pompa's ukelele. I am hoping that it is a passing fad and he takes up card playing which is a much quieter pastime.

I should bring some of the heat and sunshine from NW London- that + the sea view, fresh coffee and good company, what more can anybody want?

Soutra I read the comments and they were totally unwarranted. Stay here for a cup of coffee and peace and quiet. Rory will make space for you provided that you stroke him.

Tara sunbathed with me when I had lunch outside, mumping and moaning, wanting to help me eat it. Now that I am indoors again, she has retired to bed.

Dear Bellasnana I'm so sorry to hear your news and send heartfelt wishes that you and you husband can make the most of your remaining time together and feel some comfort that you have your family supporting you

Bella, difficult time for you both, my thoughts will be with you, xxx Pompa

So sorry to hear your news Bella and I echo all the good wishes on here! Remember, we are here if you need us. Thank you for telling us.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news Bella. I hope you will find some small comfort from knowing how many people are thinking of you and your dear husband, even those who don't 'know' you as well as others do on here.

Sending thoughts to all those with poorly husbands, Soutra, and number, and any others I haven't seen. I hope they will soon be on the road to recovery.

So many sad stories on gransnet recently. Some very strong women as well. Whoever said that growing old isn't for wimps was absolutely right.

soop that poem is probably my favourite. One of the very few I know by heart. Thankyou.

Soutra I'm glad your husband is feeling a little better. Come and enjoy a peaceful rest among your friends. ( but I wish we had a gin and tonic emoticon. )

Dear Bella (((hugs))) and

I am just impressed by the sort of wealth that allows for a new kitchen every few months.

Oh so am I. Perhaps I could have the old one to refit. Complete with views of course.

Bella I'm very sad to hear about your beloved husband, I do hope the time you have left together is peaceful and filled with love

I am about to log off until tomorrow. Thank you for your company. Having you lot to share my day with in the peace of our virtual kitchen, is such a pleasure.

Have a lovely evening soop x

Oh Bellasnana with the 'move' to the new kitchen I had totally missed this and my every emotion goes out to you and your family. I too hope the time you have left together will be filled with love and that all the family can be with you to see him and tell him how much they love him.
Am I allowed to say how bl**dy unfair life is sometimes as I write this with tears running down my cheeks for you, for Alie and for all those watching their loved ones suffer.

Bella Thinking of you.

Bella I can only join with others in wishing your remaining time together is peaceful. I am so sorry. I do hope your son is there soon to be with you

Just caught up with new kitchen. So sorry to hear your news Bella. What a lot of sadness you have had already.
Soutra. I missed that your Waitrose customer is in hospital again. It sounds like he will be out soon, hopefully? Such a difficult time for you already.

No words Bella, just, so, so, sorry.
