Thank you so much for you...A big hello to you all. Thank you so much for your support. It's very rare that I crumple back to that little girl, but when I do the only thing for it is to let it all out. <BR/><BR/>A huge welcome to Family Affairs, Nixdminx, Coding Mama, Dulwich Divorcee and Tawny. Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving your kind words. It really is appreciated very much.<BR/><BR/>Tasha I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I feel it is just as hard losing a parent later in life. There are more memories to cry over. I hope time helps heal in a way that it has done for me. <BR/><BR/>And Dulwich Divorcee, you're right. Having written about truly helped. Somehow just letting the words out makes it all easier. Lovely to meet you the other day.<BR/><BR/>Jo - do tell your dad he's not the only one who doesn't know how to deal with such stuff. I wonder if today's therapy society makes a difference. In a way I hope I will never know.<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you all. I'll be back on a much brighter note. :-D xxxHer indoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272166812296058326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-404910463340698592009-02-08T22:16:00.000+00:002009-02-08T22:16:00.000+00:00You cry away, i don't think you ever truly get ove...You cry away, i don't think you ever truly get over any loss. so if you need to flood your laptop, you do it!Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862269202781813027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-78626278660200545582009-02-08T11:39:00.000+00:002009-02-08T11:39:00.000+00:00So sorry to hear this, but hope it must be some so...So sorry to hear this, but hope it must be some sort of comfort that you can write about it so poignantly.

Losing my father would be more than devastating for me. We risked to lose him some years ago and it was a nightmare. I do not think i'd manage to read that book, although it sounds lovely. I'd be crying all the time. Thanks for this. Ciao.

My Dad lost his own father when he was four and I know he's never really dealt with it. I might get that book for him.

Hope your eyes have dried up now and that you've seen that little girl of yours and given her a huge cuddle. No matter what your situation is, you'll be on her pedestal right until the time when you disapprove of her boyfriends...and of course you'll disapprove even if they're the best thing since sliced bread... Now as for blogging, come on, what are you're waiting for. It's great therapy! If I didn't have a blog I would have been calling This Morning's helpline and crying down the phone to agony aunt Denise. :-D xHer indoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272166812296058326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-30099522948138963232009-01-30T16:44:00.000+00:002009-01-30T16:44:00.000+00:00Hey!

You leave me hanging without substantive post for a while, then I see you pop up in my feed reader when I'm not having the best of days and think "at last, someone here who normally makes me at least smile!" and then... whack...!<BR/><BR/>Seriously tho 21CM, good post, thanks. Made me all teary and I'm well'ard :) <BR/><BR/>For some reason, it made me remember leaving my then 3 month-old daughter's mum a couple of years ago after nearly 10 years together. I guess it made/makes me sad that she'll never have the relationship with me that I had always thought I would have with my kids. Luckily I still get to see her often, so I know it's not the same situation. Don't even know why I'm going on about it here either. Must go and get my own blog... In the meantime, I need to go and hide in the bog for a few minutes until my eyes are less red.Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166511628620618908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-50559341518436277962009-01-29T22:42:00.000+00:002009-01-29T22:42:00.000+00:00Hi Caren - thank you.

All best wishes to your friend who's in need. x<BR/><BR/>Hi Dotterel...it must be hard, confronting such fears. It is why I have never told my children what happened to my daddy. I have a step dad who they assume is my father and have never asked questions. One day, they will know the truth but only when we're past all the milestones of age and even then, when I am ready to tell them, which is a while longer yet. Big hugs to a daddy's girl from someone who will always be a daddy's girl, no matter what. xHer indoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272166812296058326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34896057.post-71096710489114095442009-01-29T21:40:00.000+00:002009-01-29T21:40:00.000+00:00Oh, that's too lap-tops a-wash with tears now. I'v...Oh, that's too lap-tops a-wash with tears now. I've never had to deal with such a thing, but have a very sensitive daddy's girl who's terrified of something like that happening. And so we live with the fear almost every day. For once, Shakespeare got it wrong.
