Dear Baggs again I can’t think of suitable words to help you at this time? sending your daughter ? and my thoughts x

TillyTrotter Wed 12-Oct-22 19:11:41

Heartbreaking news Baggs. Adding my love to everyone else’s.
Thinking of you.

Doodle Wed 12-Oct-22 18:57:53

Thank you soop. I think all of us are so stunned by the news. So very sorry Baggs. Thinking of all your family. ?

kittylester Wed 12-Oct-22 18:49:08

Just popping in to see how everyone is doing.

Can I add my thanks soop. You are a star it must be a labour of love but really difficult.

I really think a gentle group hug might be in order

Grandmajean Wed 12-Oct-22 18:40:18

Thank youSoop

Jaxjacky Wed 12-Oct-22 18:39:49

I add my thanks too soop when you are profoundly sad.

Grannmarie Wed 12-Oct-22 18:27:27

Thank you, Soop, for carrying out that touching 'labour of love' ffrom all of us for Baggs's DD.
TOYA ??

muse Wed 12-Oct-22 18:17:06

Thank you soop.

As you say annsixty - Life seems so fragile at the moment for so many people.

Urmstongran Wed 12-Oct-22 17:59:35

An early ‘Evening All’.

Understandably there is an air of abject sadness tonight in the kitchen. Plus waves of deep compassion for you Baggs and your family. It was the first thing I thought of this morning and has been on my mind intermittently all day. The comment you made about the facecloth on your pillow last night to catch the tears you shed for your girl was absolutely heart rending. Truly, this is a mother’s worst nightmare and my heart goes out to you.

brook2704 Wed 12-Oct-22 17:10:08

Thank you for organising the card Soop
Baggs you and your DD are never far from my thoughts, sending ❤️❤️❤️

ixion Wed 12-Oct-22 16:41:15

Thank you Soop.
This can't have been easy for you after the cruel turn of events.
It is much appreciated.

soop Wed 12-Oct-22 16:28:40

Since Baggs has confirmed that she wishes the card containing all your names to be posted to her daughter, I am preparing it for posting early tomorrow. Since yesterday, I have added ten new names. If you have commented on Baggs news, your name has been mentioned.

LauraNorderr Wed 12-Oct-22 16:26:15

Such awful news Baggs. Sending you the warmest of hugs x

BlueBalou Wed 12-Oct-22 16:17:16

Please add my name too if you can soop.
I honestly don’t know what to say, I’d only read that the op had been successful the other day, what a dreadful shock for everyone.
Sending love, hugs and prayers Baggs, I’m just so, so sorry xx

annsixty Wed 12-Oct-22 15:59:16

Like many of us I haven’t been able to get Baggs and her family out of my mind.
Now a long-standing friend has just updated me with news of her H which is not good.
They are just waiting for the results of biopsies to confirm what the Consultant has told them to expect.
Very sad for them but he is 86 and such a different scenario from Bagg’s family.
Life seems so fragile at the moment for so many people.

soop Wed 12-Oct-22 15:52:37

Baggs I shall add many extra names, and I will do my best to amend the message inside the card.

You are foremost in our thoughts. There is a huge outpouring of love for you and your family. Many tears have been shed. So many hugs shared.

We are here to listen. That's if you want to share with us. I've longed to text you but, I respect that you may wish for complete privacy.

benjamina Wed 12-Oct-22 15:10:47

I am a regular reader but hardly ever post. I can't tell you baggs how sorry I am to read your news. Life can be very unfair. This is a prime example of it. No words can probably say how sorry we all are. Sending love and care to you and yours x

Baggs Wed 12-Oct-22 14:39:11

Thank you, everyone, for the love and support. It means a lot. We are all stunned by the diagnosis after DD seemed to be doing so well post-surgery but the important thing is to support DD, her partner, and the children so that's what we will do one day at a time.

soop, I think DD will love to receive the card. Just cross out the get well soon bit or paste something over it and thank you for organising it.

Last night I put a terry facecloth on my pillow to catch the tears that flowed as I settled down to sleep. I think I will need to do that quite often.

Blossoming Wed 12-Oct-22 13:14:05

My whole family, not my whole life! It’s taking me ages to type anything.

Blossoming Wed 12-Oct-22 13:12:53

Good afternoon dear Kitcheners. I’m struggling with using my iPad just now, if you read the Good Morning thread you will know why, but I know many here don’t so I’ll explain.

I’m suffering from an erythema outbreak on my hands. I had Stevens Johnson Syndrome a couple of years ago and was very ill so anxious to avoid a repeat. It’s difficult to do much with my hands covered in ointment and wearing gloves, but it is responding to the treatment. I’ve learned that once you’ve had it there’s a risk it will recur.

The shocking news from Baggs has driven everything else from my mind, how do you deal with something like that? I hope her daughter is being supported by her medical team and not in pain. This world is a very cruel place at times.

I feel the need to tell my whole life how much I love them today.

nightowl Wed 12-Oct-22 12:22:48

I am not a regular visitor to the kitchen, though I look in from time to time when I want to be reminded of how wonderful gransnet can be. I am so shocked and saddened by Baggs’ news, I have thought of little else all morning. My heart goes out to her and her family - no words are adequate - but I hold them in my thoughts.

soop, I know you and Baggs are close friends and this news will have hit you hard. Do take care of yourself, as I know you will take care of Baggs.

mrshat Wed 12-Oct-22 12:11:44

Baggs - I am lost for words. My prayers and positive vibes are for you, your daughter and family. Love and many hugs. flowers xx

GrannyGravy13 Wed 12-Oct-22 12:06:24

No words Baggs just praying for you and your family ?❤️?‍♀️

Naughtyneine Wed 12-Oct-22 11:51:20

Baggs you are surrounded by the love of us all on here. It won't take away the pain and sorrow you are going through but I hope that a little of that love trickles through and gives you strength and courage... We are all here to help you through in whatever way we can.... Come into the kitchen and yell and shout and scream and cry at the unfairness of it all whenever you need to... We will always be here ...xxx

kittylester Wed 12-Oct-22 11:41:41

Good post, soop. I hope you are OK
