Thank you <3

Aileen, my sister [who was in Australia with me that time] slipped away from us on Tuesday morning. She was diagnosed with primary lung cancer, and secondary bone cancer 13 months ago - just four short weeks after we arrived home from traveling, and though she fought a very brave and uphill battle, in the end, we had to let her go to where there is no more pain.

today, we lost a star - but heaven gained an angel.

Moya, my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family over the loss of your sister Aileen. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Below is an extended version that I found of "An Irish Blessing" - words of comfort, memories to cherish fondly and just to reflect upon in times of in happiness or in sorrow.

Peace be with you.

An Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you:

May you see your children's children.

May you be poor in misfortune,

Rich in blessings.

May you know nothing but happiness

From this day forward.

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home

And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,

May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,

May true be the hearts that love you.

Moya, I can't tell you how sorry I am.

You and your family are in my thoughts at this very hard time, I know nothing I can say will make the pain any less painful but just know that your in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh that's really sad :( Really sorry for your loss, Moya. You and your family are in my thoughts.

I know what it was like losing a loved one to cancer. My nana's long-time childhood friend died of kidney cancer in 2008. He was known as Uncle Ted to us-he had been like a grandfather figure to me and my sister, cousins because our real grandfather (who is my dad's father) died years ago in 1968 before we can get to know him.

Where do I start...

I'm so depressed that I really don't want to be here anymore...

I got engaged three weeks ago and I think it was a mistake. He wants to move away but I really can't handle change.

My doctor has decided that I should have more tests. Roll on those wonderful blood tests to check hormone levels and blood counts. And then the scans and the results.

I'm also broke. Got bills coming in faster than I can pay for them.

The only thing that has been keeping me going for the past couple of months is writing but now its like it's all too much effort. People keep telling me that they like my work but I don't believe them. I jsut feel I'm writing for no real reason.

I also had my birthday yesterday and a couple of friends didn't even bother to send me a Happy Birthday message let alone a birthday card. I know it seems petty to complain but I went to a lot of trouble and effort to make sure they had something nice on their birthdays .. how hard could it be to send a card. Yeah I know that I'm over reacting here but it feels horrible thinking that they don't even care.

So.. today's been a really, really bad day... first I find out some news about my dad which makes me hate him even more then I already do after what he did to my mum but this just anger's me even more and pisses me off to the point of wanting to smack his head in!

I just found out that before my dad got with the woman he's with now, he had a one night stand with this woman apparently and I just found out today from my mum who also didn't find out until today that this woman he had a one night stand with is now pregnant and dad wants nothing to do with the baby. :angry:

before he got with my mum 22 years ago he also got another woman pregnant and wanted nothing to do with that baby, so its bought up lots of old hatred I had toward my father because all I know is that his name is David and he lives is Aus somewhere!

Not only that, but my mum is also quite ill at the moment, its possible her bowel cancer she had 10 years ago has come back and it seems one thing goes right for me and 10 things go wrong.! I dont know how to deal with this!

Everything I thought I knew about my father was all a lie and I hate him even more now!
