Nanadog Thinking of you ((Hugs))

Roll on 1st Jan 2013 and good riddance to 2012! After a roller coaster of a year emotionally, Christmas is the last thing I am looking forward to, and that's a first for me. I have been offered a job 500 miles away and am starting 2nd Jan, so hopefully I should be packed and away before Christmas, just can't face it.

Nanadog take care, thinking of you.

Nanadog I shall look forward to your return.

Thinking of you

I'm looking forward to Xmas Day this year. My daughter wasn't with us for two years in a row but is this year. We also have two dear little girls [aged three and half and one] my GDs as well, the older one will be very aware of all the goodies Xmas has to offer. So it's my son, DIL, daughter and grandchildren on Xmas Day. And the in-laws on Boxing Day, which is also a lot of fun.
As a young child we lived in Canada and Hong Kong so didn't have big family Xmases. So it was wonderful when we came back to the UK and had grandparents and uncle as well. Although I do remember my parents having rows with my g/parents on Boxing Day and people slamming off into the night vowing 'never to speak to uou again'. It all added to the fun.
This doesn't happen now thank goodness.
I am sorry that for some people it is a time of sadness and grief and send my best wishes to them.

and hugs Nanadog. So many bad things happen at this time of year and all the enforced jollity only makes it worse.

Have a lovely time dorsetpennt, it's lovely when they all come together. Happened for us last year for the first time since the last blue moon and it was wonderful. This year it's just DH, my mother and me, with mum fretting all the time about getting home before dark (but insisting that she comes to us). Deep joy!

Nanadog, we will miss you and think of you. ((((hugs))))

Nanadog I hope you find comfort, somehow. Big hug x

You will be in my heart nanadog. I know that pain. We're here if you want to talk or just feel us with you. xxxx

You're kind thoughts followed me these last two weeks. It's the first time I've ever felt supported at this time, and a big anonymous thanks to one person in particular who has helped me 'when the nights have been too lonely and the path has been too long'.
I know there can sometimes be trouble and strife on GN, but there is also the helping hands and kind wishes of so many and I'd like to return you kind wishes

Yesterday was my little grandson's Angel Day. I cried buckets and when I thought I was all cried out I turned on the news and found I had still more tears inside me.
