I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

It’s so good that you’ve been able to connect with Catt worker in such a helpful way @CheerBear. I hope your assessment has gone ok. Good luck with telling the kids. I know it will be hard but I’m so hoping that it goes smoothly so you can try to breathe and sleep and eat and you know Maslow type stuff 😀 (so eloquent am I 🤦♀️) that’s been hard for a while.
Really good to see you check in too @Former-Member but I wish things were a bit better for you.
@Snowie I read you were being admitted too. I’m so glad for that. The wait is horrid.
@TheVorticon It’s ok. Just know you have support if you need.
hi @Appleblossom dropped something off for you in your thread. I hope things are still ok.
@Faith-and-Hope I’m not sure where you are up to or what’s happening. Do tell! 😘

Thanks @Teej
Sometimes treading water is all we can do to keep our head above water. I hope you have caring people around to keep you afloat

Hi @Teej @Snowie @CheerBear @Former-Member @TheVorticon @Appleblossom .....
Just arrived back in the east this evening. Have time this week just with S2, and some other bits and pieces ..... induction for my studies amongst it all ..... and referrals for annual medicals (pertaining to familial illness and my previous brush with cancer rather than any recent concern).
Have been following along with everyone’s news a bit. Thinking of y’all .....
🤗💐💕

@Faith-and-Hopesounds like a busy week. Glad you have some time with S2 this week.
Ohh exciting times ahead with your induction. Cannot wait to hear about it all.

Dearest @Faith-and-Hope
How are you this afternoon? I'm so sorry about a brush with cancer, I am praying for you and your family.......
Are you feeling supported? You give energy and compassion to so many people here........
In response to: Re: Just checking in.
Faith-and-HopeSenior Contributor
Yes @PeppiPatty .... feeling supported.
The brush with cancer was 17 years ago now, so the testing is just precautionary. I am having two more moles taken off next week as a precaution.
How are you going ? It’s good to see you.
🌷💜

well, my husband feels Kim Jung Un is growing on him......
always nice to say hello to a fellow forumite in Western Australia.
I feel a swell in my chest when I read of your situation. I feel the overwhelming love you feel for your children.

That’s gorgeous @PeppiPatty, thank you ..... 💐🌷💕💐🌷💕💐
