HAPPY/SAD CHRISTMAS…
Thursday 20th December 2007
First of all, I want to wish a very Happy Christmas to all my readers… enjoy every minute. Christmas is a magical time, so make sure you spread some happiness… and take time out to be with family and friends.
My Christmas is not shaping up too well this year. A few days ago, my lovely dad died unexpectedly. He had a stroke, a little like Jude’s gran in Sundae Girl, and just didn’t get through it. I’m hurting so much right now, and missing him terribly.
Readers often ask who inspired me to write, or who was my hero, and the answer to those questions has always been my dad. He shared my love of art and writing and gave me enthusiasm, determination and love of life. He showed me how to dream big and how to do my very best to make the dreams happen, and he always, always believed in me, even when others did not.
Things are still very raw for me and it might be a while before I am able to reply to my emails, so please be patient. I know you will understand, because you’re the best, most loyal readers ever. There’s one thing I would love you to do for me this Christmas… if you are lucky enough to have a family, go and hug them right now and tell them you love them. After all, that’s what Christmas is all about.
i am so sorry about your dad but these things happen even if u wish for them not to. The best way to cure is to get in to a nice juicey book and it will make all your troubles go away hopefully.
best wishes chirrelle
I don’t know what you feel like right now but I wish you all the best and I encourage you to keep going strong and believing in yourself. Keep writing your awesome books as I am sure that is what your Dad would of wanted you to do. Love and Best Wishes, Alex xx
P. S Keep Smiling! Even though it is hard 🙂
Sorry about your dad, cathy. I hope you feel better soon. It must be really sad to lose someone. I know how it feels, my cat died some months ago.
I’ll be OK I know, and I know you’ll be OK soon too. Anyway, lets live in peace and joy! Merry X’mas and a Happy new year, cathy and everyone!
I am so sorry cathy it’s hard when you just don’t expect it.my heart pours out for you.maybe if you would like to try and remember all the good times and maybe the bad times you spent with him when your finished you will probaly be laughing your head off.nobody can tell you what to cathy you make your own decisions no one else.even when someone isn’t there you know they’ll always be in your heart no matter what any one says, your dad seems like a real super dad so it must be hard for something as good as that to be gone.however cathy you can pull through anything but take time getting over, it you will never stop feeling sad but you won’t feel as sad when you first heard the news cathy my deepest sorrows luv millie your greatest fanxxxxxxxxxxxx
