Sorry to hear of your family's sad news Ann.
Sending my best wishes

Dear Ann

my hopes for his speedy recovery, my thoughts are with you, and yours,

Bob

Thank you again for all your good wishes, although having read a certain thread on chat I am wondering if I should have been allowed to post this. seemingly people are able to feel comfortable with mocking those who ask for support. they may be lucky and live within a close community of family and friends who give them plenty of actual support, some of us are not so lucky and I take exception to the mockery However, I will not lower myself to go on the thread and say so, nor will I ask for its deletion. It just shows me who will or will not give support to those worse off than themselves.

Inly just seen this Ann - hope you receive some good news soon - prayers for all the family
Love Mary xx

I have only just noticed this thread Ann, hoping that you hear some positive news today, I am thinking of you all

Morning Ann,


Still sending positive thoughts and prayers to the family and will continue to do as long as needed, because that's what friends are for.

Even if they are faceless friends and merely words on a screen, they are friendly words that come from the heart.

Some of us have no close friend or relatives around to lean on, except, maybe a partner that you can't always be dumping on. Or find it easy to make new friends as we get older, or be so introverted that we cannot make friends at all in real life.

To these people the computer is a lifeline as are these threads. A little bit of kindness can go a long way in helping many get through the day.

Have a nice day Ann!

Morning Ann... I hope you have some positive news today...... I am still keeping everything crossed, and positive thoughts winging your way...... the waiting is dreadful, isn't it??

Love

Hi Ann,

I do hope your d.i.l's father is improving after his stroke.
We do and should support each other through the good times and the bad.
I know I have asked for support and felt comforted by the prayers and thoughts for my d.i.l.
I'd rather these threads than some stupid ones.
Not talking about the jokes as we all need a laugh,but couldn't be bothered with the ones where certain members are bickering and falling out.

Love

Still not heard, have e mailed son again, I don't think he checks the e mail address I sent to before as he is continually on his works one. I am assuming no news is better than bad news.

Hello Ann
Sending positive thoughts to your family. Hope he comes through this OK and gets better soon.

Just to add to my previous post because i don't intend to get embroiled by defending myself on Chat. Yes I do know what was behind the thread, however from the way the thread went it could be seen to be directed at all those people who ask for sympathy, bot everybody who reads it will be aware and could take it that they should not ask for sympathy. Nowhere did I say, by the way, that the posters on the chat thread had no worries of their own, and if they posted asking for support i would be among the first to offer it. I do not ask for support for myself often and it was not really for me this time, I just happen to believe that people can help a situation by directing their thoughts and prayers to the situation. Those who know me will know I am not holier than thou or sanctimonious. I guess that some of those criticizing my post have not even read it!

Ann, there are times in our lives when it is a great comfort to get the loving support of the members of GR. I have often been humbled by how generous people can be on here. I do not often add to support threads but it doesn't mean I do not care. The threads on Chat, I think, were probably directed at one person who continually screams for attention, and I am sure were in no way directed at you. I would hate to think that careless comments would make people who genuinely need help and support, think twice about putting a thead up. Yes, I am sure we all have our problems in life, some share some don't.. So what?
