    You cried..

    Me it was today coming from Newcastle to Spennymoor, i was listening to Jeremy Vine and they read out the letter that
    the soldier killed in afganistan sent to his girlfriend in the event of his death, heart wrenching..

    With my Son going to Afganistan for his next tour really brought it home on what might happen..

    Have tears in my eyes quite often

    especially when Laura reads magazines, postpals or caring bridge/share the love about children/people coping with illnesses/adversity and is genuinely sorry for them and wishes she could swap places with them or do something to help.

    When my grandad

    was taken to hospital in Cardiff because of a stroke 70 minutes into the playoff final last year and passed away later that night. Couldn't have dampened what should have been a time to celebrate much more.

    When I visted my grandads plaque at the crem.

    wish he could have seen his great granddaughter & great grandson.

    Sometimes just looking at his photo or thinking about him.

    I read that story in a cafe this morning. It was in the Daily Mail. I didn't realise they wrote at letters to be opened on the event of death. It did bring a tear to my eye. Very,very sad.

    About 1½ hours ago..

    Upon hearing the lyrics...

    "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun" (unbidden happy memories flooded my mind)
    "Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky" (the image that has been etched into my memory from 19:10, 09 October 1996)

    And still they flow........................
