Well I am sitting hear not knowing what to wright, it just seems very ouiet hear now.
I have had 6 kids and a dog now they have all gone.
I got a phone call last Friday night to say that Joseph a young man of 30 and hes the uncle of the little boy we fostered and hes like family been in his life since he was 7 years old.
He was in hospital on lifesupport the daft lad had jumped over a wall but there was a 30ft drop at the other side landed on his head.
Margaret Josephs sister and Dylans mam came with her kids for us to look after and the grandkids were hear.
Then she wanted me to go with her to Newcastle hospital I stayed all day but they said there was no hope and they would do another test in the morning but realy he was classed as braindead. So they switched the machine off at 10 the next day.
The furenal was on Tuesday. I had to keep it together for the kids but now just think its getting to me and sitting hear having a weep all on my own.
All the family loads of them have been hear from all over.
Dont even know how to wright this hope it dosent look that daft just thought I had to speek to someone thanks.
 
Grandma, it doesn't look daft at all. It sounds as thoe you have had pretty tough time. I hope you feel better in telling us. I have a big box of kleenex if you need them. Sometimes a good cry is good for us as it gets rid of loads of unwanted tension and stress.
 
Oh my dear, what awful news :( I am glad you came here to tell us about it, I hope that writing it down has helped in some small way - you know that you and all his family are in our thoughts. {{{{Grandma}}}}

Very sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts are with you. I can't offer much except for hugs.

Oh no! What a terrible thing to happen. I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope sharing your feelings with us has helped in some small way. Sending hugs to you and all the people who love and miss Joseph. XXXXX
