Well, as you can imagine – the old emotions were in tatters on Thursday night. Then stupid me got up in the middle of the night and read my thread. KPOW – emotions and crying rendered me unable to reply – sorry. Then my brain was zapped for the second time (funny, funny heads and tired). Then we lost “Our Angel with Broken Wings” – more tears and emotion. More threads about “Cheers to me!” Ready to say something – then I saw Fred’s thread (MWAH honey) – wrecked me again emotionally Then the kids came down – more crying. Then they went home. Jack went first – was OK (ish) then John went – more crying - omg one day soon am gonna say goodbye to them and never see them again. Can’t sleep tonight either – reread all threads and have kept the emotions intact – so, here is the biggest ever thank you from me. I am completely overwhelmed by your words of courage and support. I really am just an ordinary person sharing with many of you desperately hard times. If opening my heart and sharing my thoughts has helped some of you – then I’m a happy bunny :-)))) I am not brave and courageous as you all think – I am just a rather frail 50 year old whose body is letting her down somewhat quicker than she ever anticipated it would. And I do think myself in the lucky bunch that I’m able to face and handle this misfortune without fear and with the love and support of not only my precious family but my Genes Family too. Thank you all sooooo much :-))))))) Love and hugs Gaynor xxxx

Please NEVER say or think that you're ordinary Gaynor! You're the most EXTRAordinary person I've ever known! You've changed my life and I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that. I'm so sorry you've been upset, nothing I can say will stop that but please gain some comfort from the love and awe myself and others have for you. All my love Becx

Dearest Gaynor You truly are one brave and inspirational lady. I'm so privileged that you were my very first 'GR friend'. Not forgetting of course that you were the one who introduced me to messenger ... ;) Love and hugs sweetheart, Mandy xxx

Sorry I had to cut short our conversation yesterday... speak to you soon... (Hey Mandy, she was my first GR friend too lol) Paul xxxxx

Hi Gaynor. You should know better than to post things like that since I've had me new specs! If there is a fluid build up on the side of the glasses closest to the face, steam enimates rendering me incapable of seeing! We all love you Gaynor. As I have said before - an inspiration to us all. Have a wonderful time next Saturday at the London meet. Love Deb

Gaynor, I can only echo what has already been said. You are bound to have a weep sometimes, after all you are only human, those I must admit you are superhuman. Take care, we all love you very much. Love June xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gaynor - the thing about love is that when someone gives out so much, like you, then people want to give it back in heaps. The only trouble I expect everyone is having is that we can't do any more...........we want to but we only have words and they seem so inadequate. Thinking of you always, praying for peace in your life and hoping for strength for all of you in your hour of need. Love always Lorr x x x
