A lovely thought!

POGS I committed the same plagiarism! Not my words!

sorry janthea I have just committed plagiarism, I sent your words to my daughter, they were lovely!

Yes, or 'After all, you are one of the only two who know etc...'

miltonmum could you just say "after all, you know what my heart sounds like etc "

Thanks for warm welcome. I have already had many laughs and a few tears with you so I thought I would celebrate my birthday yesterday along with Willie Wobbledagger and St.George by posting a message. Thanks for alternatives -- still not quite right to put in a birthday card but I'll think about it.

jacey How does this sound -

No one will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all you're the only ones who know what my heart sounds like from the inside.

Obviously I didn't write the original - not clever enough!!!

Gosh; that made my eyes fill up.

Yes em I have come across that before with adopted children and I love the message. Love for your children is the same wherever they grow

Hello milton hope to see you around

And probably still does em

Similar theme but coming from a different angle -

Not flesh of my flesh nor bone of my bone
And yet so very much my own.
Never forget for even a minute
You didn't grow under my heart but in it.

It was sent to me when we adopted DD1 and meant a lot to me at the time.

Hi miltonmum

janthea you could make it "ones who know..."

Welcome miltonmum

Good thinking soop

Very true, need to reword it slightly so as not to offend! Can't think how though. In fact I can't think at all; I have lurked around on gransnet all day and really need to get myself up and doing something. Come to think of it I haven't eaten much at all today so maybe there is a plus side. Welcome to gransnet miltonmum hope you will like it here

Welcome miltonmum...you could say...'each of you'

This is my first post so here goes.
' A lovely thought' is just that but you can't say 'only one' if you have two
beloved children. Any ideas?

Janthea, that's lovely. I'm going to make a note of it. Thank you.

That's lovely; I will share it with my daughters, two of whom are 'imminent' so it will appeal to them too.

janthea...thank you for sharing

nightowl* My thoughts exactly!

janthea that is beautiful, I will share it with my daughter. It says so much in so few words

Ah ,
