Its going to be horrid isn't it? still can't believe he is gone.... seems so unreal.

had a really weird dream about him the other night... he was at my mums - the funeral was still arranged but he was up in mums room talking to us all. I put the kids in the car and he asked me to put Francesca where he could see her - then he was smiling at her and talking to her. Made me think that maybe he will keep an eye on her for me? after the year she has had she needs some divine intervention ?

gah - mixed feelings - will be glad when it is over but then it will be final won't it?

    ?

    I'm so sorry, I hope the funeral goes smoothly and can celebrate your brother's life.

    I keep meaning to ask, did your family have any luck dealing with the boat issues you mentioned?

    Sorry Swampy, must have missed what happened here. Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and sending you vibes for a 'good' farewell, if such a thing exists .....

    Oh Swamps, I'm sorry to hear that. Really hope the funeral helps, if it can. Can I offer a hug?

    I'm so sorry Swampy, I hope it's a fitting tribute to him. How lovely that he came to you in your dream. I totally believe that it's their way of communicating with us.

    God bless you and your family xxx ?

    Oh Swampy, I don't really know what to say. I hope that it goes 'well' and that you having a chance to say goodbye helps ?

    not heard anything about the boat since that day tbh - big brother is planning on looking into it once tomorrow is after.

    looks like E might be being moved to a place in Gloucester - if she is when i go and visit her i might go and find the boatyard and kick someone.... want to join me?

    I hope he gets some where with it.

    And yes, please let us knowif you make it down this way - I'm sure the Bristol Etcs would turn out en masse!

    Are you happy with E moving to Gloucester or is it just going to make things harder for you? I hadn't seen an update on E for a while so was hoping no news was good news. ?

    I'm sorry you've had such a nightmare year.

    Oh lovely I hope it goes as well as it can and that you're able to celebrate his life as much as mourning his loss. ? My thoughts are with you and your family.

    Swampy

    I missed the news about your brother, I've just searched back and I don't think it's the brother I know.

    So so sorry for your loss.

    I don't know if it helps at all but I live in the next town to Gloucester. If you ever need somewhere to stay over, when you're visiting E, that's a bit more local then you're more than welcome. We've got plenty of room if you wanted to bring the younger children too. Just thinking that if ever you were thinking of getting a hotel room and this would save you some cash (and possibly sanity) then just give me a shout.

    Thinking of you

    thanks PFL - it is my other big brother who has died - David has been fab with sorting everything out for SIL - think he put his work head on and dealt with stuff that way iyswim?

    Thank you for the offer too - doubt i will be stopping over when i visit her [altho you never know] but it might be nice to meet for a coffee with a sane adult sometime?

    BTW D has retired from the police now - loads of comments from me about him being a poor old pensioner ?

    thanks again - much appreciated
