Still here....

...and surviving pretty well.

It helps not having time to think. We have been inundated with people and phonecalls, just as we were when Mummy first got ill. It's both good and bad, as you can probably imagine. I haven't really stopped to think. Other people have done more crying on me than I have on them; actually I haven't really at all since yesterday.

Funeral will be Saturday 25 September, at 10am, at our church in Wimbledon. It would surprise me if anyone reading this wanted to come, but you would be welcome to do so. Drop me a line if that's you. It's likely to be pretty huge.

I went shopping with Robert for food, and we bought laaaaaarge amounts of yummy stuff. I now have Toblerone. This is good.

Thank you everyone for the very kind texts and calls and emails and comments. I am pretty well surrounded by people at the moment, but I have noted the various offers of support and I am ready to shout if I do need some comforting. It's likely to be a week or two down the line before I start yelling to be taken out for coffee, though :) I will be staying in Wimbledon for a little while until things calm down - I don't know how long it'll be, but not more than another few weeks, I think.

Off to eat more chocolate now.

I'll be in london that weekend, and about in the area for most of the week after. Just so you know is all.

I tried to text you yesterday, but my @%$^&#*!% phone and *$&#^@#$&@&% service wouldn't let me (apparently your number is too long for my poor little phone ~.~). So I had some Pocky and thought of you instead.

I meant to say earlier how kind this is of you! It means a lot that someone is thinking of me even though they are thousands of miles away and have never met me. :)

Where do you hang out online these days? It would be cool to have a more immediate conversation with you than the LJ sort :)

I can't remember if I've offered support yet or not. But in case I haven't, hereby do I offer it.

I'm glad you have lots of chocolate.

I hope that the funeral is beautiful.

Nick sends love and says that you are in his thoughts.

I'm glad you're surviving.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm glad that you're holding up. If there is anything at all I can do from way over here, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I tried to post earlier, but my comment got eaten. I just wanted to let you know that I'm very sorry for your loss, and if there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

Not an acronym I remember - translation?

(I think I get the gist - thanks.)

I'm very sorry for your loss. I think you should eat lots and lots of chocolate, and I'm thinking of you.
