Hi all,

Just a short note to wish you all a very happy Christmas. Sorry I've been away for so long, but I've been very unwell for some time. All going well, I'll be visiting more often in the New Year.

I miss you all very much, and even if it's behind the scenes, just knowing that you are there and the belief you have in me and the support you have so generously given me has been helping to give me strength to keep going. I can't put into words how deeply grateful I am for the gift of your friendship: it's one of the greatest blessings life has ever bestowed upon me.

((((((( The Forum ))))))))

With much love, and the very best wishes to all that 2009 will go well,

Mogs

Merry Christmas Áine.

It has been a while, hasn't it?

We have all missed your lively chat. Welcome back.

Merry Christmas Áine

Good talking to you just now.. You do sound poorly though.

Missing your lively banter on here.

Come back soon

Hi Ainé.

Good to hear from you. That's brightened up my day no end.

[Bill Henry]

Hey Àine,

Good to hear from you again.

Have a nice Christmas and I hope next year goes a bit better for you.

Join us again when you can.

Sorry to hear you were not so well……wishing you a wonderful Christmas and may 2009 be all that you expect….

As an addition I’m posting the poem my young son wrote that was put on his school Christmas card this year….I hope you like it…….for a young man who could not string two words together a year or so ago it is a wonderful achievement on his part………..a super present for Jean and myself….

Christmas time is a time for cheers
Time for snow and glowy lights
Around the tree on blowy nights
Around the fire on cols cold nights

Nadolig Llawen Áine.

The bestest most clever things always take the longest to fix.

Aine - hope you have a good Christmas - we were very worried about you. May 2009 bring you better health. You know we are always there for you.

This place is not the same without you!

… and a Merry Christmas to you too!

Hi all, and thankyou for your heartwarming messages. Just a quick visit to wish you all "Athbhliann faoi mhaise!" and let you know that I'm still breathing. Still very fragile, and fretful to boot.

If I may paraphrase The Verve, this neatly summarises my last 6 months...

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll [read your posts] again...

I'd so dearly love to be going to Spring Fair, but the agoraphobia's so severe at the moment, I'd never manage it....

BTW, if you have a mind, please say some prayers, keep fingers crossed, and wink at nearby crucifixes: there's a light coming toward me, and I'd really prefer if it were not of the oncoming train variety....

Hey Áine
Good to see you back, with your sense of humour nearly in tact.

You know you have our prayers and best wishes.

I think most of us are wondering the origin of that light that is rapidly approaching. Maybe its the sunshine.

Your fingers have found the keyboard now my wee Colleen, so please do not stop.
