My Message To You All

[murraymints]

I write this this evening for tomorrow I fear will be too emotional for me. I want to wish all my many cyber friends a very merry Christmas and a peaceful, but above all, healthy New Year in 2016.

This has been a very sad conclusion to the year with the loss of my much much loved dad and I have been overcome by the many acts and words of kindness from you throughout what would have been an intolerable time for me, however I have been comforted greatly by your words and for the personal contributions via E mail and by post. The fact that so many of you took the time and with great compassion chose your words so carefully touched my heart.

I thank you all and extend my heartfelt sincere good wishes to you all and for those of you who find themselves alone and without a loved one for whatsoever reason..I have a special wee place for you in my heart.

without wishing to sound pious I wish you all great contentment and happiness for 2016

Will be hard for me too mm as I also lost my beloved Dad this year and we all miss him terribly. As I said on another thread, we will be raising a glass to absent loved ones tomorrow and remembering. Hard to lose a Dad isn't it ? All the best x

Merry Christmas Minty! The first year is the hardest but I am sure he would rather hear you all laughing! (I hope this is taken in the way it is meant, can be so easy to cause offence). Much regards frae Corstorphine!

Thank you Minty. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas. I too will be missing my lovely Mum. The second Christmas without her. To absent friends and loved ones. xxx

Murray, I'm not the best with words but to anyone that's lost their loved one's anytime of the year it's bad, I feel you or anyone that's been in this situation, when my brother passed 2 years ago I must admit I was glad, was glad that his suffering had come to an end and he was free of pain, to all out there we are here in thought, we are here to talk, we may not know you, but words mean a lot. xxx

Best wishes MurrayMints. This will be the second Christmas without my mum, so I know how you will feel tomorrow. Take care.

Minty - Christmas is always difficult when you have lost someone you love, but my best wishes and love to you and you Mum. Trite words, I know, but it does get easier over time xx

Minty - I wish you & your family the very best for Christmas & the New Year. The first toast - "To Dad!" - will have you all smiling with happy memories, I'm sure :-) x

My thoughts will be with you tomorrow Minty. May the New Year bring you all that you wish for.xxx

Minty - though a big part of your heart is broken, try to make this a time to reflect on your wonderful Dad and the legacy he has left you.


My Father was my best pal and I was 27 when he died, part of me died too but the memories are strong and powerful.

Take your time and take care. ♥

A difficult time for many. Much love to you. x

Best wishes - I know how you feel. It`s the first Christmas without my Mum. I found a christmas card on her mat yesterday from someone saying that he hopes she`s keeping well - I had to write to him and tell him she`d died. Let`s hope it gets better after the first Christmas. The kind comments from people do help.

Minty....the first of everything is horrid and sad....but I've told you.....you were one lucky girl.......the photos you post and the memories you have are wonderful......not all of us have that......be happy remembering your lovely dad.......Gx

[DTCwordfan]

A simple love from here and make the most of tomorrow - your Dad would want that, not tears and gnashing of teeth. It's not easy but all of you take heart in each other.

And Happy Birthday as well.

Happy Christmas to you all up there - and to those on here.

[marval]

Thank you Minty, I wish you and your family a happy Christmas. May you all keep your memories of your Dad in your heart.

I wish you all a good new year.

Have a happy birthday too.xx
