Awww Jo, loads of hugs for you and your family, you will find strength to cope because you are you and you're amazing. Thinking of you dear lady

Hey Roberto my man Funny tale that gave me a few laughs anyway LOL. Music still stinks but you can't win em all. You and mum have a great New year, love from the Wildman and his Stuby xx

Hey all Roberto, I know exactly what you mean, I spent christmas alone from 2am onwards until Stuby got home about 11pm. Family pressure that's all. Bless him he did try to be with me. All I can do is distract myself by doing everything and anything, gaming, baking, studying anything so I don't think. That would be disasterous, I call it my 'bad side' and it really can twist the innocent to evil if I let it. I reflect back on a year of so many near misses, so many things to regret, but, and it's a big BUT, I have grown as a person and a man, being in love and making so many awesome, friends. I'm now ready to move on, move from here, give up farming and try something new. The man I love more than life itself by my side. So many hugs to all

Glad you liked it Unc, and KC I hope you get yours too soon, Frosty didn't get hers either Damn post.

Hi Morgnita Welcome, it's good to see a new face, and everyone is always made welcome. I think we all understand now, that depression is different for all of us and no remidies work the same either. We all have our own ways of dealing with and overcoming it in part. What we do have here in this thread is all the hugs, ears, shoulders and a kick up the backside too if that's what works. that anyone could possibly need. Hugs all

Happy Birthday Greg Have a super day

Loved this Unc, and yeah, that is the perfect job for Joann But you would need some girl strippers too just to keep her happy. So you got your blonde guy too, a very well put together story one can only expect from you. But far too tame Well done

I haven't lost any person dear to me. But I talk to my animals if that counts? I still don't have a pig in Cher's old sty. I find myself stopping at the door and just looking in to it. Every animal I've lost I still think about, and there are markers here and there about the farm, with names and dates from when and to, they were with me. Hundreds of wild animals too over the years. I don't think it's a bad thing, just another coping mechanism.

Happy Birthday Big Man Have a fantastic day

Hi all Lets all try and have a good one Officially it's my second Christmas, and even, not being with my man and having a pulled muscle in my back so I can hardly move. I'm damn well going to enjoy it. So, I wish you all the very best of Chrismas's and a joyous and hope filled New Year to all.

Haunting and beautiful, I do love poetry, and yours is very good poetry.

Amazingly ,powerful, beautiful and yet very sad. I'm a little numb after reading that, Thank you Andy

Will always want to know you Conner, you are such an amazing man. Thank you for the review and the offer :wink: I'll hold you to that Loads of hugs my friend :hug Thanks again

Thank you Delores, there is a bright light for me, Not only Stuby, but also a new life Thanks again

Very vivid images with this, and very well written. It's hard to determine if it's true or not. Well done James

Unc! I already told you what I thought of the first half. Shame on you for calling James bad, when you had psycho bitch x 10 up your sleeve. A very chilling tale indeed, you could extend this too, as you didn't mention her end, she could go to new pastures and start again. Why am I saying that? I loved it, you know I did and I hope Nephy gets to read it too. Great work Unc

Hi Tim Stay strong buddy, and I hope you find a good place to be. I'm still looking, so wishing you all the best

Thank you Unc You no so much more than most. And you always give me the kick up the arse I sometimes need.Don't be surprised if I don't thank her for it lol. Thanks again Unc, you're one in a million

Thank you Carrington As you say it's all therapy and every deep hurt told is another step forward. Without Stuby and GA I wouldn't have got this far. Always onwards and upwards. Thanks again

Thank you Bill Most already know so much more than this short story. I'll happily send you a PM with any answers you want.Thank you for the review

Thank you Jo Me and Stuby look at new places all the time, we have a few dream houses already favourites. Just a bit more work with the shrink, I'll do it Thank you so much for your support and most importantly your friendship

Thank you percy I tell my story to help me heal, like therapy I guess. Thank you again

Thank you Steve. It's all getting better

Thank you Cia It was all about moving forward and I am. I'm so different now from the naive kid that first joined GA.I'm not trying to run away from memories just this house is all about mum, and I don't want to bring Stuby here Thanks again

You know I was drawn to this by the Danvers name, and you also know why. What a very enchanting story. Through all what was said, it felt like the house wanted him there. There was a lot of atmosphere in this story. Red setters are Stuby's favourite dogs, so that was a nice touch. All in all a marvelous story. Very well done
