Hey Guys,
Its two years today that my Twin Sister lost her fight to CF and my little neice lost her Mummuy..
Still a day doesnt go by that I dont think about her but Im not feeling down at the mo.. Thinking of her makes me smile... As she made me so proud!
Im spoiing my neice tommorow and taking her to the wacky warehouse if Im feeling upto it (health wise)
Will raise a glass to her later I think..
I always feel worse around xmas and new year and she used to love xmas and we always celbrated new year together..
Still cant get used to not buying her pressies..

Your post really touched me.
I firmly believe your twin is in your heart, as close to you as she ever was, but I know its not the same as actually having her with you.
I hope you have a good time with your neice tomorrow.
hugs L.k.

im so sorry, it seems like yesterday your mum phoned us to let us know.. Claire and i are really upset.. the great thing is that every memory we have of Baby Carol she is smiling.. her glow never fails to shine through the photos we have of her.

And the party we were at when she sang.. robbie williams.. why dont we break up.. it was so funny

Happy memories

have a great day with Shannon tomorrow, if you want any company.. to make her smile.. give us a shout

Take care Tim & Claire x x

Hi Sandylizz,
It must be so awful for you at this time of year but I hope you are able to go out with your niece tomorrow and have a great time. I hope it eases your loss that you've got her and she's got you.

Love Simba xx

Dear Sandy

Just sending you love. It was a year today that our son, and Ingrid's brother, Jonathan also lost his battle.

i do hope that you feel well enough to have a great day out with your niece tomorrow, but I know that you will have fun and smile together whatever.

As you say not a day... the joy they brought to our lives is now held forever in our being. I'll join you in raising a glass.

I went out to buy bird food today - it was the first purchase I made last year, in a funny way it feels like a gift.

All blessings
Linda

Anniversary's can bring such mixed emotions..remembering pain of losing someone, yet also recalling the happy memories you shared. I hope you can spend time tomorrow with your niece and celebrate those happy memories.

take care,

Hi - my thoughts go out to you, my sister lost her fight to CF 7 years ago this month so I know it's always hard, at least you have your niece to spoil x

Sandy, it always makes me sad to read such threads and I fully understand how it must be for you. I find it easier to talk about my brother too, but there are times, even 9 years on now, when I miss him and think about him unexpectedly during quite mundane moments. I'm sure this is the same for you.
'enjoy' the day out with your niece

I can also relate to how your feeling, it's been 16 years since i lost my sister from cf, and times like xmas and birthdays i always sit down with her photo and shed a tear or 2. I feel like i've kept her memory alive as my 2 kids know as much about their auntie as possible. It's a good thing to talk about happy memories, especially when we're feeling low, and i always put a fairy on her grave at xmas to show she's not forgotten.

keep smiling. xxx

Thanks for all your thoughts guys..
Yes Shannon does make it a little easier as every day she turns more into her mother and does something that she would be , and I am proud of...
I will enjoy tommorow, I always enjoy what ever we do.

Your words about Carole were really nice Tim and Claire Thanks, I know it doesnt seem like 2 years...

Yeah Dom sometimes something will just spring into my head and I feel sad about losing her..

But she will always remain in my heart and be a big part of me and she always was.. She was half of me..
