Hello

Good to have you back with us soop

Yes welcome back, glad you are feeling better. It is a difficult time of year for many of us but there is plenty of love and support on GN

Nice to see you soop

I had missed you and wondered if the aliens had got you as well as absent. Really glad you are feeling better.

Lovely photo of the little one soop - I hope the 'black dog' will now leave you in peace to enjoy a very Happy Christmas.

Soop so, so sorry you have been in the 'dark place' - have missed you but I thought you were having a grand time in Norfolk . At this time of year the dark place beckons and it just takes one extra worry to find yourself falling in. You must be very proud of your brave son, off to Afghanistan for good, not agressive, reasons. You bring sunshine into so many lives so I am sending some to you (although according to the forecast it may not arrive until tomorrow afternoon) (((((big hug)))))

Welcome back soop Your grandson is gorgeous.

Oh soop, I'd missed you! Like Granny23, I thought you were away visiting. Maybe you were though - visiting the dark place? Leave it behind and try and look forward if you can? You're much loved in so many places, soop. xx

Lovely to see you again, soop!

Welcome back dear soop, you were indeed missed, so here's hoping that you have a very happy and peaceful Christmas, with us of course

I was getting quite worried about you especially with all this talk of people leaving GN and just disappearing. I very much hope you are seeing daylight again, metaphorically speaking - we have missed you so much!

What can I say... went away to do a few jobs around the hoos and returned to find lovely messages. I'm so LUCKY to have you lot as pals. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I wish that I could hug you all. You have warmed my heart and lifted my spirits.

Welcome back soop - glad you are feeling better now!

Lovely to see you back again Soop. I`m sorry that you haven`t been well, and even sorrier that I didn`t know, like others, I thought you were away on a little holiday. Hope you`re back to stay now, and that you have a wonderful Christmas. Your little man is gorgeous!

etcetera

So glad to have you back, soop. You leave a big gap when you go missing! Isn't that Torben getting big but no less handsome. ((((hugs))))

YAY, YAY & YAY again, it's great to see you back Soop

Oh soop so lovely to have you back! I'm sometimes in the dark place too, or as I put it "being hounded by the black dog" much love to you and yours!

Feeling myself gradually slide into a bout of depression, was too dismal to share with you, especially at what should be a festive time of the year. I can only describe it as being the loneliest, bleakest place on earth. I needed your companionship, yet I could barely put my irrational pain into words. Those of my pals who understood, did their best to keep in touch. The daily hugs by text, were truly comforting. Mr soop, as always, has been amazing. Rory has kept me company. He's such a good cat, considering his lowly status.

soop, my mogs have often been an amazing comfort through some very dark times. I know that some think dogs to be the only animals to pick up on these things, but I have always had both dogs and cats (until recent years). When Jack died 12/12/2008, I only had cats and two of the three of them were definitely showing different behavior.

PS No cat thinks that they have lowly status! They were, of course all kings and queens in a previous existence.

soop I looked for you daily. So glad to find your name among us again. xx

I told them about the mystery parcel

Dear soop ((hugs)) and ((hugs)) and I am so glad you are back with us.

You lovely lot have made my day. Bless you for so many PMs and good wishes. I'm certain that, if I lived closer to you all, I would not allow the black dog to drag me into the pit. Perhaps I'm lonely. Well, I'm certain that I am, because as I write, the tears are falling...that's a good thing, isn't it? for almost a week, I've been sorry to find myself still alive on waking from a deep sleep. What a dreadful thing to think and have to confess to. Depression is irrational. I'm very much aware of how fortunate I am. When I consider the suffering of others, I feel horribly guilty. All that I can say is THANK YOU. You are amazing people.

Hi soop. Don't feel guilty!

Its so nice to see your name in lights again dearest soop I have been thinking about you every day and it's hard not to as your fab painting of poppy greets me when I go into DDs house,your boy will find it very entertaining at Camp Bastion the guys there are switched on it is unbelievable considering the work they are involved with,I sent 6 parcels earlier in the month as there are so many boys who don't get parcels from home DS2 said it keeps up their moral no end when they are received.
The pic of wee man is magical he is a stunner isn't he a heart breaker in the making I think,I understand how you are feeling and am so glad to hear that the fog is lifting we all missed you fab input and lets hope that xmas being upon us can clear the last of that dammed mist. Love to you glamma xx
