Thank you, everyone...

[panik]

who posted such kind thoughts and good wishes regarding my Mum and Dad and the whole darn horrible thing.

I started to reply to everyone's comments, but it seemed daft, since I seemed to be repeating myself  over and over. I hope no one feels I take their kindness lightly because I haven't responded to each of you individually but I was running out of things to say. I'd just like you all to know your comments touched me and made me smile at a very bad time and I hope that this post serves as a communal, yet deeply heart-felt Thank You to each and every one of you.

You rule. I'm so glad that you're my friends.

::hugs you::

And no need to reply to this, either! Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you.

Oh, I don't mind replying to this... (o:

Thanks again. Hugs are always welcome. (o:

You are very welcome. I know it'd be stupid, not to mention a callous to hope that things are much improved in your life. Life just doesn't work that way after the loss of a loved one. But I still hope that you getting back into the routine of posting and even attempting to reply to all the comments is a sign that things have gotten just a tiny bit better then? I think of you often and want you to know that that's the case even when there aren't posts like this one I respond to. ::Hugs:: (And no need for you to respond to this one either unless you honestly feel like it.)

Things are a little better but my life is very much changed and not for the better and I'm finding that as hard to cope with as losing Mum.

Life is settling down a little now; Dad seems, finally, to have accepted that Mum's gone and is remembering now, which makes it a little less stressful, but he's still very hard to deal with. I'm hoping the need to move now that Mum is gone and he needs close care, will give us all something to focus on, and a change of scene can do nothing but good, imo.

Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, hon; they've been *very* much appreciated.

You are more than welcome, and really: in times like these, I myself don't expect any answer from an already-traumatized person.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much.

::tacklehugs you::

You don't need to say anything sweetie - just as long as you know how much we all love you.

::more hugs::

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

::tacklehugs you::

Ah hon...Thanks, it means a great deal you know. ::hugs you till you squeak::

::squishes you unmercifully in a doxy-like way:: ♥ ♥ ♥

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Ack! ::is squished!:: *g*

Thank you for everything you loveliest of all the doxies. (:

::glomps::

wishing you well and sending cuddly toys, sweetie!

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Cuddly toy squee!

Thanks hon.

Thinking about you a lot, and the situation with your dad, too. Many hugs and much love (and please take care of yourself, too, okay?)

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm fine really; it's Dad that's the worry.

Thanks for your kind words, hon - I know I owe you an email; I'm getting there, slowly.

You take care too. I know you heave troubles aplenty of your own. XX

[t-verano.livejournal.com]

No, you don't owe me an email !! ::hands Gilly Get-Out-Of-Email-Free card::

And worrying about somebody you love is hard on a person, added to everything else you're going through; I say this as one who got physically felled big-time by stress herself, lately -- just, take it easy when you can. ::hugs you::

(And things are better here again, for now at least. And I'm feeling a hell of a lot better than I did for weeks, so I'm sending you *strong* sturdy strengthening hugs. :-))

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Well I want to send you emails so there - *G* I just have a lot to work through, especially with you heaving those troubles... (sigh. Eyes recalcitrant fingers warningly)

Ooh. Strong, sturdy - dare one say manly - hugs? ::smiles winsomely::

Thanks again hon, you're a true friend.

[t-verano.livejournal.com]

::looks guilty while snagging any manly hugs in the vicinity for herself -- hey, you have Mark. I currently have a cat, who hugs worth shit::

Anyway, it's 'personly' hugs. I only hug PCishly.

:-)

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Ah, cats. Cats are not known for their hugginess, tis true. The family cat - Stubby (long story) - hates me; I'm the only person in the house who has no permission to touch. I have no idea what I've done to upset him but my very presence offends him. (o:

I shall tell Mark you believe him to be manly; this will please him. (o:

[t-verano.livejournal.com]

Maybe you and Stubby have a history in a previous life. :-)

I house-and-cat-sat for my sister and her husband a number of years ago. Their cat at the time did *not* care for me, either, but he put up with me. (I controlled the food and the cream, after all.) They were gone a week, and the moment they walked back in the door -- before the suitcases hit the floor even -- the little monster jumped up next to me and started whacking me furiously with his paw; since he was no longer dependent on me, he could give free rein to his feelings...)

::shutting up now; I feel like I've been babbling at you right and left::

"::shutting up now; I feel like I've been babbling at you right and left::"
You can babble at me anytime, honey bunny.

[talcat.livejournal.com]

No need to say anything but *HUGS* to you.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Hugs to you, too (thanks) (o:

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

No need at all for an individual thank you! I'm glad our comments helped you get through it all.

::biggest hugs::

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

::Hugs you back::

Thanks for your kindness, it means such a lot.

[arnie1967.livejournal.com]

Sorry this is late, Gilly. My computer's been in the workshop since Monday. ::hugs tightly:: If there's anything I can do, just let me know.

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon. Everyone's been so kind. {{hugging you}}
