Today I want everyone to lay down their arms, to forget who said what nasty comment to who or who did what to who.... Life is too short, this weekend we lost our GR friend June from Preston, one member is currnetly fighting bravely cancer while another was attacked violently this weekend. Lets put all our thoughts into appreciating each other & life. We have a great community on here with so much support for those having troubles in their lives lets not spoil it with the nastiness that can on occasions can appear on here.... So in memory of June & others experiencing difficulties I'm lighting a candle...please everyone who hasn't done so join with me,,,

I have a lovely candle in a pretty pot, given by a friend on my birthday - it's a special candle, from a special friend, and I needed an occasion to light it..........didn't think of this one......but I will light it for June, for those who are unwell or going through tests. For our Lemon, for her to know I care.....and for those who have died.......

Beautifully said Clare. As you say we should all be grateful for what we do have and not lower ourselves to the same level as any unpleasant people. I have my candle lit. Kaye x
