One happy granny

So glad that it all went well - it sounds truly lovely.

Sounds just wonderful.....xxx

After a couple of weeks of feeling like nothing more than the bank of Mum and then being ignored after I helped out it was lovely to read your uplifting post about your family Caroline123.

How lovely that you were all able to get together to celebrate your daughter's wedding and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for lifting my spirits today,

How lovely menopaws, it sounds as if you all had a wonderful time.

What a lovely post!
So lovely to hear positive thoughts!

Made my day

Loved your happy post! Gush away - it is so nice when family gets along the way we all would like them to, and no magic wand involved! When you have had a rest Menopaws - can we see your updated version of Desiderata?

Your post moved me, Menopaws and I recognise the joy, love and pride you felt and continue to feel. Now do get some rest!

Menopaws how lovely for you to have family time & happy memories, it's so important. My DD, her OH & DGS have just been to visit my DM, only for a few hours (DM lives 300 miles away, also she's 88). I am going soon for a couple of weeks & in August we plan a short family visit with DGS2 (due in May).I'm lucky DD only lives about 10 miles from me. I've loved reading your post & the happy memories you will treasure

Wonderful post to start the day.

Menopaws

Wow Menopaws, you are one special lady. So many things in your post that you could have been posting about in a negative way. Really hope all the medical stuff improves and your son emigrating to Canada works out well. God bless xx

This made me smile, and realise I am very lucky. Thanks Menopaws. I think you are due a break ?

Blimey, haven't you been to bed yet? Respect.

What dear people you are, I never like to blow own trumpet but think these happy posts are just as important as the difficult ones, we all have crisis times but these good times give us the strength to ride the hard times.
May I suggest you all read DESIDERATA sometime today, look up online. I live by that and I have a copy in the loo and have framed a copy for each child, nephew and niece. Don't worry I'm not airy fairy just realistic, I also rewrote an updated version if anyone interested to see it to tap in to the way youngsters think!
Cleaning like a good'un, kitchen beautiful and bathroom and refitting out two bedrooms that were gutted while away, v satisfying. Thanks again ladies, feel very supported and understood xx

Well done! congratulations and thanks for sharing that with us. I looked for a picture of a bottle of champagne but couldn't find one, though it doesn't sound as though you need any! It's bubbling out of you! ?????

Lovely to hear you had such a great family reunion. So many posts seem to be about family problems so this was a joy to read. Good luck with your DH's treatment.

What a great post you are allowed to gush sounds like you had a fantastic time the memory will last you and your family forever best wishes .

Yes, a beautiful eye watering post !
I'm going to use one line of it and write it on my daft Mum board in the kitchen .I loved " being three decent , honest ...."- it's quite a simple recipe isn't it ? But quite a hard one to get perfect - you did .

How lovely to read this on a grey morning when there are quite a few major concerns looming - thank you for sharing that happy, heart lifting post. So glad you had a time with the family that you can carry with you forever.

What a wonderful post, gush away op, gush away!

Wow! Wonderful posts for a wonderful occasion. I can empathise or sympathise or whatever with quite a lot of what you wrote.

I was thinking to start a thread sometime about things like this.
I am thinking along the lines of, in the future, living near an international airport, to make it a little bit easier for us all to meet up. Not sure if that would work or not.

I smiled at your bit about remembering not to mother them!

Lovely post, glad you had such a good time and have all those lovely memories?

Just the right sort of post for a dull Sunday morning, thank you, you can live on those memories for such a long time. Well done to you and all your family.

What a lovely post and what memories to treasure. I love having all my lot together but it's a bit easier as all in UK.
