Marj

Hi mam

I've been so worried about Marj today, could feel the tears when I thought about what could be happening while she was on the operating table.

As you and Joe will know, she has come through it ok. The nurses are surprised that she seems so strong, they don't know where she gets her energy from.

Lets hope her recovery is quick and she has no long lasting health probs.

Love you Mam....wish we had been able to have more time together. Your 'Precious' Karen xx

The drop in

Hiya Mam

What was I like on wed!!!!!!!!!!

Rudolph didn't have a look in after I fin crying.... my nose was so red. Didn't know where all that emotion came from......THANK god for Cancer Concern drop in.

They were really lovely when I walked in...I could hardly speak through my crying...but I did manage to say coffee, milk no sugar when they asked what I would like to drink lol. I cried and laughed with them, then enjoyed that relaxing Reiki therapy session.

It's a shame it's only open tue, wed & thur 2-5pm. I'll prob go back and then eventually help out there. It's not just for people who have or have survived cancer, it's for their families too.

It's been am emotional roller coaster this week

Well that's me fin rambling lol. Till we meet again in Heavens embrace


Love you your daughter "Precious" Karen XXXXXXXX

Well I missed you not being at the finishing line with your shopping trolley full of sandwiches etc this year. We managed the run/walk and have sore and blistered feet so prove it hahaha but every painful step was worth it because we did it for you.

I love and miss you so much.

I'm making great headway with myself lol.....Lee says I'm ahead of schedule because I'm so self aware haaaaa!!!!!

Great North Run

Hi mam

The GNR is on Sunday this week and we have let you down by not training but..... we have raised over £1200 for Marie Curie so I hope we're forgiven hahaha. It's gonna be more like the Great North Walk with Twinnie in tow, just hope she doesn't need to use Mackie D's carpark again as a toilet she's so embarrassing. If she wears those fat fighter knickers it will be a nightmare.

It wont be the same without you waiting for us at the Bamburgh, support is gonna be a bit short on the ground as Julie is at work too. Never mind I know you will be pushing us on.

This doesn't get any easier mam. I always end up crying but ive got that down to at least twice a day now .. not bad eh.

Your little princess Sue x

Hi again

I don't even now what i'm going to write but been sitting reading what Karen and Marie have been putting on and then the tears started to flow....

Julie told me today that she can sometimes feel that your around her, I wish I could feel you near. I keep hoping you'll send me a feather so that I know your about but you must be all out at the mo coz I ain't got one hint hint!!

I'm not sure what I did with your slippers so while i'm off i'm gonna find them n put them next to my bed.

Sleep tight mam x your Little Princess

Hiya Aunty Shirl

Hello again,as you can see been keeping in contact with everyone more now on FB,it's been lovely to know what's going on with everyone again.It came a little too late for me & you though & I blame myself for that.I could have just said sod her & visited you myself but she would have kicked off & I just want an easy life.
Hopefully I will get up to South Shelds soon & plan to meet up with the girls.
Karen has pinched my leaving music I wanted "ding dong the witch is dead".I should sort out my final plans too really.
How is Nanna,it's such a long time since she went.When I lost my baby I dreamed of her holding him,I always kept that image in my mind.He's been gone 20yrs on 21st of July,his name is Jamie.He pops in here, often I've heard him calling me.Here go the waterworks so bye for now love Marie xxx
