So..... life is full of crap. My husband and i have been getting plenty of it these past weeks and will get much much more to deal with in the near future. For anyone that missed it but wants to know: my husband was diagnosed with cancer in late may and we know now that it is no longer operable. He will start chemo soon and we are looking into any alternatives that are out there. We are trying our best to stay on top of things - however little time we might have left together, we want to spend it as positive as possible.
We met as penpals in 1979 ("penpals", kids, is a pre-cyber term, i know many of you won't believe me, but in the old days folks used to write letters and send them on through something called a postoffice where they would stick a stamp on what was called an envelope. Trust me, i am telling the truth here. Really).
We got engaged in 81, moved in together in 85, got married in 91 and have spent every day of our lives living happily together. I have no idea how to live my life without him. All i know is i can't let his illness kill me - he saved me from that when i was young and i will not let him down now.
We are strong in this and are getting support from friends and people in work etc. There's about 10 OW-members here that have been so very helpfull through email, pm's and post. I have kept them updated because i felt i couldn't bring myself to posting on the board. I needed time to crawl back into the life of silliness and fun. I am hoping to be back now and will start posting again.
I wanted to let you lot know this because pretending it isn't part of my life doesn't feel right.
So now i need to get back into the loop. What the fuck has been going on? There is no way i can find my own way through all these posts. Err, has anyone killed anyone in these past weeks? (apart from m0ng0 - i know he has). Anyone had any kids? Snugged lanegan in the back of some nasty venue? Did i miss n00bs that are too cool to miss out on? C'mon gimme the dirt.
x thanks for the pm's everyone. You know who you are
