Title: Not goodbye, just au revoir
Post by: rose1999 on August 24, 2009, 11:52:32 PM

I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me (on here and in PMs) throughout Dad's illness, not just these past few weeks since he passed away, but over the last 2+ years.  You are truly wonderful, caring people. Although I have never met any of you I really feel that you are good friends of mine and I have shared things with you that I could not share with anyone else.

I'm not leaving you (I couldn't just walk away) but I need to take some time out, we have the funeral today and then I have a lot of paperwork to cope with (as you can imagine) as Mum is not really emotionally up to coping with it all. I also want to take her away for a few trips, just gentle quiet times together where we can relax and restore our batteries.  So please don't worry if I don't post so much for a while, I will still check in and see how you are all doing and I will post when I can.  I care about you all and I don't want to lose touch, I'm just having a breather (hope that means the same in the USA etc as the UK!!).

I will be back soon, I couldn't stay away long, but I just didn't want any of you worrying that something had happened to me if I disappear for a little while (look how concerned we all are about David13) .  Maybe I'm flattering myself to think you'd notice  ;) but I know Karol always worries about all of us (bless you for that Karol).

My love and prayers are with you all,
see you again soon

Not to make you feel guilty...but, we will miss you.  However, you NEED this break at this time.  Relax, regroup, refresh, and spend some quality time with your mom.  We'll see you when you get back.

I hope you and your mum will find the rest you dearly need.  Don't forget to get some sunshine, breathe deeply whenever possible and find other ways to let some of the weight off your shoulders.   :guitar:

Just called by to see how my IHD family are and to say THANK YOU so very much for all the support and good wishes, I'm still feeling fragile and still snowed under with 'red tape', letters and forms to sort but I do think of you all. Mum is doing OK, obviously distraught but being very brave bless her.   See you again soon. Rose xxxxx :grouphug;
