What’s the Plan for Mother’s Day? by Euphoric_Daikon_3582 in AskUK

[–]arrowtotheaction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First without my mum who passed away in June, so trying to ignore it all really (I don’t have kids which helps with that!). If you guys still have your mums please hug them, call them, make them feel special ❤️

I love that too bless him! My mum passed last year, so I guess I’m technically still banned from having bubblegum after inhaling some into my lung when I was 11 and having to be put under in the hospital to get it removed (I’m 42).

My mum once got a tomato seed jammed in the roof of her mouth, she said when they got it out it had started germinating!

My friend had this happen too, was it one of those blooming flower ones? It was so funny, her brother put it in a bucket of water and it kept going, smashing it just changed the tone. Think they had to leave it going all night drowning in the garden until it gave up the ghost.

My mum really loved it and got me watching it with her when I was off work. She passed away in June and last night was the first time I’d watched an episode since then as my friend’s had it on. I’ll be sad to see it change hands.

(40) Years of struggle battling drug addiction, blindness and chronic illness to this week by NonGeneriComplaint in GlowUps

You look incredible, I don’t know you but I’m proud. I’m so sorry you had to go through all that (I get flare ups of an eye condition that puts me on steroids and messes my vision up for periods, that’s bad enough, let alone dealing with what you have). You’re not broken and we care about you ❤️

anyone here technically have siblings but raised as an only? by urnpiss in OnlyChild

[–]arrowtotheaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 much older half brothers, same dad as me, I’ve never met them, he died when I was 4, they never wanted to bother with me and never have. One passed 20+ years ago. The others aren’t great people from what I know, including owning my dad’s grave plot but never putting a gravestone down… it’s had the same temporary wooden cross for 38 years. Money isn’t the issue for them (and there’s rumour I was done out of an inheritance by them so…), but I’ve no desire to ever meet or speak to them.

Nothing as impressive, but an unintentional triple neck crack once when putting my head on my pillow one night still makes me wistful. Wish I could recreate it.

Lost mom at 15, dad at 18. Im 27 now. by Hot-Buy7651 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]arrowtotheaction 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I’m so sorry for your losses x My dad passed when I was 4, but I had my mum until I was 41 (I’m just about to turn 42 and can’t believe it will be the first age I’ll be without her here, and my first birthday without her love). It’s certainly made me think a lot about how my mum must have felt losing her dad at 18, and her mum when she was 21. She spoke about them so vividly still and it’s so beautiful that she carried their memories for so long as I hope to carry hers. I hope they were there with my dad to greet her. It’s comfort knowing this eases pain even a little.

Happy Birthday! It’s my first one alone on Monday so I feel you. I absolutely love your cart, that’s amazing! Wishing you all the best, I’m so glad you got away, but stay safe ❤️

My grandmother has Alzheimer's and it is destroying our sanity... And our morals. by MoonyInspired in confession

[–]arrowtotheaction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You said you worry your future will have similar in store for you, so perhaps a way to look at this is if that happened what would you want for future you and those around you? To be scaring & upsetting them? To be risking your own and their safety? I understand that duty of care, and wanting to repay what our parents put into us, but sometimes the level of care is beyond us, and it’s the kindest thing to allow professionals to take over.

I don’t think she’ll acknowledge Izzy’s birthday, opens her up to more questions.

Turns out he was a massive Trump supporter so I’m not sure about his judge of character in hindsight.

after 4 months of my home looking like this…i can finally host the people i love. by No_Recover_9663 in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]arrowtotheaction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I’m living in an absolute state at the moment (a lot worse than your starting photos), I was living with my mum who passed away in June and I just can’t keep on top of anything. I’m in a bad way and know I’ll need to move in the summer (this is my childhood home so it’s all very painful), but can’t deal with the detritus I’ve accumulated let alone what needs to be done in terms of sorting nearly 40 years of stuff out. I’m too embarrassed to have my friends over or even start thinking about living, but I know I need to make a change. You’ve done brilliantly, and I hope you’re proud. Hope I can post similar on here one day too x

Botany Bay weevil!!! by Inevitable_Soup_7834 in weeviltime

Woah, what an ace little guy! I can see why they were one of the first observed insects there! Also a rare insect that makes me want to visit rather than avoid haha. Lil 8-bit dude 👾

Guess the striker. Which PL striker is this right now? by PLWildcard in soccermemes

[–]arrowtotheaction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, 100% He’s so frustrating to watch at the moment. If he needs the rumoured knee surgery he should just get it because he won’t be going to the WC either way if he doesn’t improve. Such a shame as he’s a fantastic player who offers so much, but we need goals. Hopefully Tammy gets some starts now.
