WP just made me cry...

What!? where?! surely not?!

Don't be a vague-poster now!

What happened ATB? We need to sort this person out who made you cry!

I can infiltrate the thread.

Come on, explain.

If there's about to be another multi-pager starting ten minutes before I have to leave ?

Is it the remembering loved ones at a weddiong one?

This!

Was a post about how to remember loved ones who wouldn't be with you on your day, started off a bit ? and fluffy as usual but then I was sobbing by the end. Lucky I've got a cold and no one at work notices what I'm doing anyway!

I don't usually let stuff like that get to me. In my defense I'm hormonal!

I'm not sure I have the heart to infiltrate that one.

Ohhh ATB. I thought somebody had offended you, glad that's not the case.

Sending lots of love ?

Yep Flow, we cross posted!

Thanks KB - it's ok it's not their fault!!!

Oh no that wouldn't have made me cry, I'd just have got my OT pals to gang up on them with me!!!

I spotted that couldn'y bring myself to open it- glad I didn't- hope you are okay back in the saftey of OT!

Also glad no one was picking on you ATB hehe!

I never usually venture over there - and usually I'm ok with threads like that - but got to me today, and I'm annoyed!

You are not alone, the poem brought a tear to my eye too!!

The poem got me too.

It wasn't even the poem that seemed to get me worst, I skimmed over it incase!

To be fair, on the list of things that have made me cry today are my keepboard rattling and my colleague talking too loud on the phone!

Ditto.

Mrs Bass - for some reason the link you put on doesnt work.

oh, thanks for letting me know, is is beacuse you are having issues with AOW?!

I stuck my factual four-pennorth on the thread - my lovely Pa died two years before our wedding. I missed his presence and that he didn't know I was getting married (he actually died a few weeks before we got engaged) but maybe I am a hard-hearted beeatch becasue I wouldn't have wanted empty chairs.

Really personal opinion alert......I'm afraid I loathe poems like that. It's a bit Hallmark card for me and hence elicits no reaction but despair at the mangling of the English language. But at least it didn't make me cry!

AC I’m a bit the same as you. I won't post my opinion on the WP thread because I don't want to upset anyone but I hate those sorts of poems and I hate the empty chair idea.

OH mum died at the start of the year and his dad wants an empty seat kept me and OH aren't keen at all, I think that would make it more obvious that they aren't here.

My mum is doing out order of day for us and is determined she wants a photo of OH mum in the book somewhere and how she is missed. OH is horrified at this and tbh I’m glad he is because for me it just screams funeral book to me but I didn’t want to be the awful person to bring that up.

We’re going for the subtle things by having flowers she liked in our bouquets and a small photo charm attached to my bouquet too.

That's dignified and very sweet and thoughtful at the same time. Thumbs up from me.

Completely agree with all the above.
