Shedding a tear

[raysparx1]

When was the last time you shed a tear? I did last saturday after visiting local kiddies hospice, I know I ask this last year, but plenty more new people here now.

When I read about the horrible things baby P's carers did to him I sobbed my heart out.

That as well daffy, that is so sad, when i left the hospice, there was little girl there about 5, looked like a little angel with beautiful blonde hair, soon will be no more, made me very sad.

The other day from laughing so much at someone on here asking people to ban a thread about them while on another thread he was calling someone an idiot

Hypocrisy at it`s best

Hello Ray - I am an unashamed cryer. I don't mean that I'm regularly in floods of tears but Iots of things bring a lump to my throat. I shed a tear over the plight of poor little baby P - I abhor cruelty of any kind. Armistice day is another emotional day but I suppose the last time I really cried was at the funeral of a friend about a month ago. I would find a hospice visit very emotional too.

I cried yesterday.

My youngest daughter has got herself into trouble at her college for uncompleted work. She had done the work, jsut an aspect of it got her stuck, and she felt she couldn't tell anyone or ask for advice. It came to a head last wedekend, when she told me she had a formal Disciplinary Hearing - her second, for the same problem, and this time it looked like they would boot her off her GNVQ Course, although she finishes next summer.

She has cried every night from last Sa turday until yesterday, and sobbed all the way through the hearing, so upset she could barely speak. I went with her and helped her please her case, and they agreed to let her stay on.

Last night when she had gone to bed, the wholeagony she had gone through got to me, and I had a good howl - silently of course, I hate to be observed.

The thought that she had worried and worried for over two months and not felt able to tell me - we are very very close, and she would normaly say something, but gelt I weould be annoyed with her for not dealing with the issue.

We move on - wiser, and minus a few gallons of fluid!

I cried last night about my uncle, who is a young 66 year old who has terminal cancer, there is nothing they can do for him and he was sent home yesterday...terrible

[mrs.chappie]

I cried too, when I read about baby P. I was managing to keep it together until I read that he'd managed to smile at the social worker, even though he had a broken back at the time. At that point I just sobbed.

[raysparx1]

Thanks for replies, andy thats lovely,mums and dads will always worry no matter what age the kids are

Lil, that is sad, all you can do is be there for him, and enjoy the time you have

mrs chappie, think that little one has touched many hearts, evil beyond belief

[ELVIS68]

I always shed a tear reading andy hughes posts, not because they`re sad, they just go on and on

I must get some glasses

[sara3]

andy, you're a good man. I hope things work out well for your daughter.

lil, that's so sad. I'm sorry.

last time I cried? (I am ashamed!!) I caught the end of Jeremy Kyle (I'm usually at work when it's on) and a young woman did an appeal for her sister to be found. they'd been fostered and separated when they were about 10.. and the show had tracked her down and she was already in the studio. that kind of thing always make me blub.. happy tears :o)

[elcee45]

I cried yesterday and most days, it is a year tomorrow since my husband of 40 years died at the age of 60 and I miss him so much each and every day.

[bensmum]

Andy - I hope your daughter turns things around and gets back on track. You never stop worrying about your kids

[raysparx1]

Hi elcee, so sorry to hear that, all you can do is take it one day at the time, and one day the sun will shine, and the darkness become a bit lighter, you will then be able to smile at the memories, take care and look after your self. xx

[Rosetta]

[sara3]
