I'm doing well, me. Thanks for asking.

It's great to hear from you and although you are certainly saddened by the loss of your dad it appears he remains quite close to you in spirit.

Huge (((((hug))))) backatcha!

My condolences.

Just read the article, me. He sounds like a lovely man. The article, brought tear to my eye, you can tell how much he was loved by all. You must feel so proud of him as he does you. Well done for getting through things (sober, job etc) at this trying time. I lost all motivation after my dad (Brian!!) died and got stuck in my grief. I've learned we all handle/cope with grief differently. Just have to do what works for you. I too am here, if you need to chat. Thinking of you x

Aww thank u tammy I really am proud me and my family loved him very much but to c how much his friend and work friends loved as much it is very touching, there was a piece in the paper the other day as well check it out what the school are goin to be doin for him it blows me away, miss him soooooooo much :( I pass my peer mentor course on Friday being doin it the last two week and I start my volunteer work with the drugs and alcohol team on Monday can't wait, how u? All good I hope, was ur dad name brian as well is that what u mean? It really does affect us in different ways but I'm just grateful my dad seen me clean and sober and I want to carry on making him proud as he told me was before he died, are you coping better with things now? I'm always here if u need me take care sending hugs xxxxx

Thanks for the update, me. :) It's good news that you're going ahead with your plans and doing great things with your life.

Tammy's right - we all handle it differently. I doubt I'd have been strong like you've been, me.

yea, Me, my dads name is Brian. I'm sure theres 2 Brian's looking down on their 2 sober daughters, proud right now :) I'm coping better now but still have the odd heart breaker moment! Keep up the strength x
