Elegran

Thanks em will add you to list.

Glass Thanks for telling us. I'd like to donate to my local hospice if that's OK but I shall be thinking of Elegran as I do

Thank you golden I will add you to the file list.

Baggy its arrived, it is beautiful.

And me please too, Glass. I will give something to a local hospice where a good friend died a number of years ago.

Could I please paint a wee picture of something that would give Elegran pleasure? When she has had time to consider, perhaps she could let me know.

Glad it got there safely, glass. My love to elegran when you deliver everything.

Thanks annobel will add you too the list.

soop I am sure Elegran would love that

Glass I shall donate to my local hospice which was burgled recently... can you believe it... as I feel they could do with the support at the moment.
for Elegran

old thats is a disgrace, beggars belief. Thank you I will add you to the list.

I've just come back to Gransnet and found all these wonderful messages of support and all your generous donations to St Columba's or your own local hospices. Thank you, thank you all, and thank you for the PMs of support that I have received.

It is at times like this that you discover how many good people there are in the world. We were not sure whether to book the larger or the smaller chapel at the crematorium yesterday, but went for the larger "in case". I'm glad we did, so many people came to pay their respects and say such nice things about him.

And I was not sure whether I wanted to stand and greet the congregation as they left, but I am so glad I did. Many had to be back at work or had other commitments to go to and were not able to come for the cuppa and sandwiches/cakes (or a tot of whisky) afterwards, so I would not have had the opportunity to thank them.

Now DD1 and her family have flown home, DD2 and DS are back to work, and I am alone in the home we shared for 45 years.

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life.

Elegran you might be on your own but you're not alone. We're all crowded in there with you and ready to keep you company

elegran I am pleased all went well yesterday, it must be hard the first night but we are all with you keeping you company and sending you {{{hugs}}}

Warmest wishes to you, dear Elegranxx

I remember that night. It's not the best, but it passes and the old saying that time is a great healer is right!
Chin up! It DOES get better with time. We are all here for you, if you want a shoulder to weep on? We are here. If you want somebody to talk to pm me and I'll give you my number. I've been there and know what it's like!
Love and hugs to you.

Elegran when ever you feel the need to just chat we will be here for you. Take care.

jeni you are lovely.

Thank you. It went more than well. Dear son said "It was lovely, in a strange sort of way" and so it was. Just wish we could have held it while he could have enjoyed meeting all those friends again ......

In his own way your DH brought you all together - family, friends, colleagues. A lovely testament to what he meant to all of you xxxx

Elegran

Off to bed now, hoping to sleep well as I am tired.

Tomorrow I shall start my new life by sorting out my own clothes - I have lots of old T-shirts kept for decorating and so on, a few nice ones that I like to wear and a whole load of nondescript, fading or getting-a-bit-tight ones that ought really to join the scruffy ones, except that there is no room for them all, so some throwing out is needed.

Night elegran sleep well, will speak to you tomorrow.

Sending best wishes Elegran and remember all your friends are with you

Good morning, Elegran. I've just caught up with yesterday's thread and hope your night passed well. As you say, it's your new life this morning, and having a sort out seems like a very good start. Take care. x
