1 year on (sens) and a big thank you

Ice Queen, 4 December, 2008 at 08:01 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 26

It's a year ago today that my lovely auntie was brutally murdered

I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the support I've received from Hitched over the last year

I also want to give a ? to all of those who have also lost someone special in the last 12 months, and sorry if I haven't always been there for you

KJB a special ? for you too (for Monday) as I know today is memorable for you too

    Don't apologise. It was super-lovely of you to even give me a second thought today when it should be all about you!

    Ice Queen - thinking of you. The last 12 months must have been really hard for you....

    KJB - four years? I can't believe it is so long. Thinking of you too (I bet it still sometimes feels like yesterday ......)

    Thinking of you both ?

    KJB - I'm not sure if you will even remember this but you kick started a little tradition in the French village where I live. In the early hours of the morning every year I get up and stake a kite down in the front garden of each house where a kid lives so when they go out in the morning this mysterious kite is flying waiting for them. No one knows it is me leaving them - although I know some of the parents think it must be the odd English lady!

    Hello Ice Queen. I can believe it's a year .. although a year feels like a month used to. Which is a sure sign of ageing in my case. It's been a terrible year for you and your family, and my heart goes out to you. How is your nephew? And how is your ankle?

    Thinking of you ?

    KJB, I'm thinking of you too. In fact, there is hardly a day when I don't. Whenever I have squabbles with Mr P, I think of you (you posted a good few years back now about stepping back from the small stuff, and appreciating every day with our partners). I thought of you last week when I took Mr P for his dental operation. There were leaflets about oral cancer. I picked it up and read it from front to back, and started to well up. As I am now. Your post to Sandie the other day did the same .. and now just thinking about it the tears are falling. I'll be thinking of you on Monday. And over Christmas. And because of you I think I appreciate Mr P just that little more than I did before. Once upon a time I would have found it strange thinking of someone as often as I do that I've never met, but you've touched my life (and I'm sure many others), and if there was ever a positive thing to Mr KJB's untimely death, helping us appreciate what we have and living in the moment, that is definitely it.

    I wish I could give you this for real ?

    Thanks Peaches - my nephew is on the mend, he's still on crutches but is having physio and is on the mend.

    My ankle is still not good, I am now being referred back to the specialist as Physio isn't helping any more. I'm still using crutches other than walking round the house

    My knee op is booked for 9 March but can't go ahead unless my ankle is better, so fingers crossed it will be healed by then

    I'm another one who can't believe it's been a year. was anyone ever brought to justice? sorry to hear your knee is still bad too ☹️

    mr KJB was before my time, but i remember 'lifes too short' day the following year, and it was just lovely and made me realise what a great place hitched is. well, apart from the trollers who ruined it ☹️

    ? to both and anyone else who needs one

    I'm glad your nephew is on the mend Ice Queen. Hopefully the physio will help him get fit and strong again, and back to 100%, or near as dammit.

    Sorry it's not working for your ankle though. I hope the specialist is able to do something to enable you to walk without crutches, and allow you to have the knee surgery in March. That's a long time away, so hope your ankle improves enough. Ouch on both counts.

    My aunt's ex husband (if you remember we didn't know they were divorced!) is currently being held on a charge of conspiracy to murder and is awaiting a hearing at the Old Bailey - so hopefully next year we'll have more idea of why this all happened

    We went away this time last year and I didn't know about this until I got back in January, but you have been in my thoughts, IQ. ?

    Lovely KJB, even though I forgot you on my "hitchers I have met" list, I think of you often as well, especially when I'm watching Dr Who. ? You have inspired so many people, I hope that is some small consolation at this time of year. ?
