Hi all,
This is just a quick posting.
As some of you are aware if you were in the chatroom earlier today we made an announcement.
Just to verify this with all we know.
Mike and I are taking a break from the actual swinging scene.
For how long we do not know.
I have had some devasting news today with the death of the father to my children.
He was only 49.
As you can imagine this is extremely hard on my children loosing their Dad at such a young age.
My children are only 16 and 17.
To see their hearts breaking as they watched him die is something I never want to experience ever again.
It has made me think differently about my life and it will have a dramatic change to our future.
We are finding it hard to cope at the moment but the pain will get easier I am sure.
I have come to realise that although he was my ex I never hated him and still had love towards him in a special way.
I think if we were all honest this is true with a lot of people.
Life can be so cruel at times with no answers why.
We will still pop into the chatroom and seek comfort from all of our many friends.
One thing I have learnt with my time swinging is the importance of the friendship side,
I suggest to all that read this to put the friendship side of swinging at the foremost as at times like this you find you need their support.
I am sorry I said this would be a quick post.
Everyone please enjoy your lives as it can be taken away so suddenly and cruelly.
Take Care and hugs to everyone.

So sorry guys. I hope that you can take strength from your friends and family in the dark times. I had this poem sent to me when I lost someone dear. I hope it brings you some slight comfort and that everyone rallies around to support you.
"I cannot carry this burden alone, the road is too steep and the pain too great.
I shall only get to the top of the hill if I am able to lean on a firm shoulder
whose strength lies in the reality of the feet which bear its weight.
The sharing of grief is the only solution to the crisis that surrounds
bereavement in our age.
To share a person's sorrow is to accept their reality and to acknowledge
the fact that none of us is immune from death."
So sorry to hear your sad news. :cry:
Jon and I will be thinking of you and the children. You have our number if you fancy a chat/coffee/drink.
Take care

Hello fanin_and-mike,
We are sorry to hear of your loss and hope you will come to terms with it. Yes you
are right whatever the reason for spliting up something always remains with you
form the leaving person. I read a very touching thing somewhere, quote:
" I bought some very sexy underware for my wife to give it to her on a special
occassion later on. Now it is to late, she is in her coffin and she will never be able to
wear it. If only I had made a special occassion out of every day."
Meaning live you life as if evrey day wpuld be our last.
There is also a German song called "You will never go completely" (freely translated)
It is about a woman who was left by her partner and she is right of course you will
always be reminded of gestures, actions speech etc. but you will come to terms
with it eventually, althought never completely. Lokk after your children, they are always the ones which will suffer most. Good luck.
Sorry to hear your bad news funin-mike our thoughts go out to you and your children, i,m just starting to get over my mothers death so i know how your feeling right now , hope you come back one day but until then good luck
Hugs and kisses
