Army Thread Sunday 11 September 2011

I know, one thing that I've come to realize over the past couple of years is booze never helped in any way, shape of form. It just delays the dreadful moment of realisation that something horrible has happened.

Have you got his sister in the house with you. I was just thinking a walk to the park with her or something like that. I don't know how old she is but she must be feeling very puzzled with all the upset in the house.

Blow a few cobwebs away, perhaps.

Fortunately she was staying with my parents last night so she doesn't know any of this yet and she's 2 and a half (going on 5!). However that 's another hurdle to get over later today. I've drank loads of green tea so far and I'm actually feeling a bit stronger just logging on and getting a bit of support. I know it won't help getting trashed but it's very tempting.

I?m logging on this morning because I feel like drowning my sorrows in a bottle or two of wine. My little grandson died early this morning and to say we are all devastated is an understatement. I got the call from my son at 2am so we have been at the hospital all night and have only now come home (to my house) and my son and DIL are downstairs trying to get some sleep but I can hear them both sobbing and talking. I?m not sure what the full story is but his lungs collapsed, he had an infection and it happened very quickly. I?m heartbroken for them both; the hospital staff were very kind and we were able to hold him for the first time, and without all the tubes he looked just like his sister when she was born. It?s just so sad, what an awful night.

I?m feeling very emotional but I need to be strong for them because we have a lot to get through today, I?m sitting here on top of my bed crying my eyes out for a little baby I didn't know but I guess really for the pain and suffering my son and DIL are clearly going through. I feel a mess, I've contacted the family and need to do the practical things for them but it?s so hard.

I've no booze in the house and it's Sunday so no chance of getting any till noon however there is a case of beer in the garage from a barbie and i am never tempted by beer but today might be the day.
Dewdrop :h
