[tri-wings] I feel like a newbie

It's been so long since I posted anything I feel like a newbie. I have had to 
give up trying to catch up on all the wings mail since they were coming in 
faster than I could read them and at the last count I had 1076 unread items in 
my in-box. So reluctantly, I have hit the delete key and now have no idea 
what's going on. Congratulations to everyone who has become pregnant [ I knew 
about Deanna off list anyway :o) ] and public congratulations to Mandy for her 
forthcoming wedding (told you that there were some nice guys out there really). 
But beyond that I know nothing ;o)

THANK YOU to everyone who remembered Abi's birthday and Angel Day. Her Birthday 
was so unbelievably hard, I wasn't coping well at all. Louisa wanted to have 
birthday cake and put up some balloons at the crematorium. I went ever so 
wobbly at the thought of that, but came round pretty quickly and decided that 
it was in fact a good idea. So we went to the crem, put up a pink and a red 
balloon red roses from Mummy and cream roses from Daddy and a birthday card. we 
sang happy birthday, well Louisa did cos I couldn't quite finish it :***(  
After that we went up to Dovedale and threw one red and one cream rose in the 
river and another balloon.  We had wanted to get a couple of helium balloons to 
send up to Abi but couldn't find anywhere that sells them so we had to make do 
with normal blown up by daddy balloons. On the Wednesday (Abi's Angel Day) we 
went to the crem again, with a beautiful basket arrangement, we added 3 more 
pink balloons and had a huge hug. On the way in we noticed a red heart shaped 
helium balloon with "miss you" on it. It was for someone recently departed but 
we are pretty sure it was a major tink for us as well. Also, there were no 
flowers in the spot that was originally used for Abi's flowers, there were 
flowers everywhere else, but not there (???)

My business has picked up so well that I now only have 8 days free between now 
and the middle of June so am finding time a little short. I am away from home 1 
or 2 nights a week and out most of the day. Great news for the bank manager, 
but Louisa is finding it a little tough cos I have been at home pretty much 
24/7 for the first 6 weeks. Just don't know where the time goes. That's it from 
me, I have missed you all, hopefully now with a clean slate I can keep up :o).

Lots of love
