Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

Welcome Susan, as you know we all loved the Old Bugger Jim and will miss him terribly but to have you join us is lovely and hopefully we can help you come to terms with your loss. As someone has already said Jim would be well pleased that you have made this step to join us. God bless.

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

Hello Susan, looking forward to getting to know you

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

You are right, one day at a time. That song (by Lena Martell) was playing in the car today in fact, ironically.

I'm very tired tonight - it has been a long day, including a visit to the doctors for the results of a check-up to make sure I am still cancer free - which I am. I would say "thankfully", but I'm still of the mindset that if I were to die soon it may not be a bad thing, I'd see Jim again.

Looking on the positives though, I'm healthy.

I'll log in again tomorrow morning and peruse the threads.

thank you all for your welcomes, they mean a lot to me.

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

Hope you had a good night's sleep and feel more refreshed today, Susan.

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

So lovely that you are a member of our forum. I'm sure you will be so happy here.
Hopefully as time goes by your memories of Jim will be pleasurable ones and not of sad ones. Keep up the good spirit Susan.

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

Hello Susan, and welcome. I keep forgetting to welcome new members, but I had to make an exception in your case!

Hope you find comfort in chatting with us all. Best wishes.
Janet

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

Thank you Janet, I appreciate that. It is indeed comforting being able to talk with people who knew Jim.

I am only sad that I didn't join sooner! When Jim signed up he said that this was a great place and that I should become a member, but I never did.

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

Well, if it wasn't what you wanted at the time...there's no pressure on you even now. Talk to us as much or as little as you like. We understand.

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

Great to see you flying the flag Susan

Re: Mrs. Oldbugger

The thing is, I wish I had as I now know that it would have been something that I wanted. But like so many things Jim suggested I dismissed it.

It is unfortunate that we only realise some things when it is too late.
