Thinking of my eighteen month old Grandson, diagnosed with AML Leukemia, started his first five weeks of Chemo today..... So sad, not only for the little fellow but also for mother and father and the family who must be going through an awful time. I hope all goes well and that the fellow makes a great recovery. My little fellow, the last of 4, went through a mental trauma for a good number of years. All well now 40 years old but it certainly leaves a mark. But then that is true love. One fact I do know is that it is best to talk about these things. My son, then 15, was in a psychiatric unit and it was very helpful to talk to other parents. At that time it was "a cover it all up" attitude but we totally went the other way and talked. Laurie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixII Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thanks you all. 👍 Mark (lazermonkey), Vince and Laurie. Grates more than a little. Happy, smiling little chap (most of the time!) Never done anything to anybody, and then you get some of the little 'darlings' (other terms available!) wandering around.........at times, it just makes you wonder.......

Wez Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Simple human kindness makes me happy. Most of us have never met Paul and his grandson nor ever will, yet people are taking their time to express their sympathy, wishing the family well and hoping the little chap has a speedy recovery, 'tis good to see in a selfish world. Paul, please add my name to that list of well-wishers, finger's crossed for a good outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 'sad' emojiwhatsit looks very trite, but I really am very sorry to hear that Paul. Bad things happen to good people, and it's even more gutting when awful things happen to the completely innocent. We're all rooting for him and as the above have said, he's in good hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an extremely proud (and very chuffed) Granddad of a six year old Grandson, I feel for you. I can't begin to know what you and your family are going through right now, but I wish you well, and I hope everything turns out well for the little one.

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 My son phoned me today to tell me about my 17 month old granddaughter's latest English word (She'll be tri-lingual with English,Slovak and Hungarian.) It is 'see' as she points skyward at a passing aircraft. Must be in the genes. Edit to add a photo which makes me smile 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lying in bed in Jersey listening to Vince's melodic snoring in Guernsey. Ahh yes, the pleasantries of life. On animals. Always had 2 dogs trained never to invade the sanctuary of the first floor. Get up in the morning. Walk down the stairs and each dog, one paw on the first step, wagging their tail so much their rear end resembled a metronome. A stroke and the tails doubled in speed. A sit down on the first step and they were all over me. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiddles knows how to open the doors,all he has to do is stretch up and pull the handle down but every now and again after he's kept me awake half the night it's nice to hear a dull thud when he falls off and lands on tne carpet.... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animals are not dopey are they Vince. Out first Labrador used to pull door handles down then walk backwards to open the door. Never managed to teach her to close it though. Good on cheese 2lb in one swipe and a frozen chicken during the night . Love their tricks ☹️ 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
