Brodies Mum

Many Happy returns for today Phebe. Have only just made this post on your birthday, hope you have had a good day. Alison

God speed Alice and Daisy, stay together at the bridge and have fun. So sorry for your loss.

God Speed Mandy have fun at the Bridge. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry to read this, but at least he knew how loved he was and had such a caring family.

We have had a fantastic day today at Ponds Forge in Sheffield, my daughter Lorna who is disabled is swimming at the Disability Sports England Short Course Swimming Championship. Firstly all the Swm GB Team were there and taking part and were introduced to the crowds. Ellie Simmonds is a sweetie and some of the lads were "fit"so I was told. Lorna has only been able to swim in competitions since April after she had been Classified, and this is only the third competition she has entered. Today she broke all her personal best times and in the 50m breastroke achieved a Gold. I am so proud of her, I am grinning from ear to ear. Not bad seeing as she could so easily have been written off at birth, and has struggled all her life to prove to others that she can achieve anything she wants. She has trained four nights a week to get to this stage and if hard work and effort gets her to London 2012 she will be there. I felt sad for Derek my husband though as he was not well enough to come and watch, the shingles is still winning at the moment. Her sister came from Hudderfield, my brother and family came from Norwich, one of her ex teachers came with her family, my aunt also came who lives in Sheffield. Lorna's good friend and sports mentor travelled up with me as Derek wasn't able to come. She didn't want me driving on my own. Today she was swimming for the East Midlands and they are great team. They are still there and will be competing again tomorrow. Good Luck to you all and enjoy.

God speed Mason , have fun at the bridge, free from pain. Run free beautiful boy. So sorry for your loss

God Speed Bruin, hope you have fun at the Bridge with your girls. All mended now running free like a youngster again. So sorry for your loss.

God Speed Yena, have fun at the Bridge, no more pain and all new and mended again. So sorry for your loss.

Our kids are really precious to us and it is scary when they are not well. Over the years with my daughter (who has Spina Bifida) I have learnt to question everything and if you need to go and see your GP and get them to explain it all. It is hard enough having one member of the family poorly but I know at times I have worried myself sick with the not knowing, when I know what we have to face it seems easier. Hope that makes sense. Sending lots of healing thoughts.

My niece had this 20 years ago. They had her on bed rest and traction. She has never had it recur again. She was about 5 when it came on, very suddenly and was in hospital for a week and off school for about 3 weeks. SHe is a Mum herself twice over and as I said never caused her anymore problems. Hope he feels better soon. Alison

God Speed Rosie Buttons. Run free at the bridge. All mended and new again. Words cannot express our sadness for you. In time you will be able to look back with such affection and have wonderful memories of your time together.

God Speed Seth. Running at the Bridge all new again. Thank you Kathy for giving him the wonderful home that he had with you. to all missing him.

So sorry to read this, Rosie Buttons has always been one of my heroines. Treasure every moment and I am sure if she could Rosie would be thanking you for her time with you. You were both destined to be together. Sending your lots of good times together thoughts. Alison

Sending good thoughts for you all.

God Speed Joyce. Have fun at the bridge all new and free from pain. So sorry Ian for your loss. Joyce knew she was loved, thank goodness she had you.

Hope things get better for you soon.

God Speed Stanley, So sorry for your loss. Stanley sounded one very special little man.

Hoping today is better news. Sending Scottie lots of healing thoughts. rather handsome boy isn't he

So glad Georgia is ok and after a good nights sleep hope you feel better too Cheryl. In a few years time this will be one of those stories that is told time and time again and Georgia will be so embarrassed. Thank goodness she was ok. and

May the rest of your lives together be as happy as you both look that day. Congratulations

Kathy I would contact your mothers social worker and explain the situation. My mother went through a similar situation which unfortunateyl developed into something nasty and we changed her homes. There were not enough care staff on at night. An official complaint was made on five different counts and when the inspectors went in they were all founded. In some ways I wished I had taken the home to court, but other families were involved and I had to think of their feelings as well. At the end of the day, I did not blame the residents as they all suffered with dementia nor the staff trying to cope with the situations, I blamed management who were happy to take the hefty fees, but did not supply the trained staff to work with these people, or in my opinion pay them a decent wage. Don't let this fester Kathy, you need to get things sorted soon. Hugs to your mum

Great Clips thank you for sharing. What lovely dogs you have

Sending lots of good thoughts for Sam and glad that he is home.

Sending Sam lots of healing thoughts and for you.
