Hello there! I was going to start a new thread to say hello to all the older members who remember me, but after reading this thread will put it off for a while. So many of my feelings have been written in this thread - like others, my Mother died back in January. The time has gone so quickly - 10 mo...

Thanks Rosemary xxxx
.....and thanks Fran, too....I will look into that competition this year - kept meaning to last year, but just never got around to it....
am just going to dog agility now - that should fill my mind up this evening!

(((((((hugs))))))) wending their way to you All xxx

<t>...........yes, there is!<br/> As many know, my Mum died back in January. It's like it was yesterday. I can still remember the details.....and her face.

I think it had only just come on the 'scene' so to speak! Luckily I was nowhere near having it, but it's certainly not a good thing to suffer from!<br/> W...

<t>Hello Mike and welcome to this home from home. Blimey- no wonder you're exhausted! I have to say that I can understand both sides, as I suffer with Fibro and know how it affects a person. The problem is, it's not always easy to see that there's anything wrong. <br/> It sounds as if you're doing a...

Hello there - welcome to the Forum. I'm sure you'll find many people who you can relate to on the site. Keep looking in - you'll soon get to know who's who here.

<t>Hello Jax, welcome to the Forum - I hope it will make you just a little bit less lonely and isolated. I used to care for my mother, too - and my son also suffers with aspergers. Luckily he is quite independent. Mum died not long ago so I don't have to care like I did, but just wanted you to know ...
