Neil Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 First off, my apologies for not posting anything yesterday. I know this is something one would normally share with you wonderful folk but I must admit to being quite unsure of myself yesterday, very much up and down emotionally and keeping a lid on it: I was reluctant to share until I'd 'had a word with myself'. Happily, though, I've settled on feeling positive about it! I've gone through a whole year since my bleed and quite frankly everything has been great since it happened! Most likely that's down to my now being more grateful for waking up every morning than I was before my SAH. To sum up: in the 365 days since my little brain went pop, I've: Got married to a wonderful woman and had a great honeymoon Put on 3 stone (beats being as skinny as I was!) Learnt to have a lot more faith in myself Changed jobs twice (each time for better opportunities!) Made friends with a great bunch of geniunely understanding folks So, on the occasion of my first Anni-versary I'd like to thank you all for being really rather smashing and I'm proud to be a (albeit quiet) member of your gang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hey Neil Happy Anni-versary for yesterday. You certainly don't have to apologise for not posting The first is the hardest year - the next will get easier and the 1st anni-versary is the hardest emotionally. Take pride is all you've achieved this last year - you're an inspiration. Take care and keep smiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrycornish Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi Neil and hi to Tammy too:-D It's behind you now so the emotions will be different. You did a pretty good job of the first year so you should go on in strength for this next one. You definitely don't need to apologise to us, just get some decent writing done elsewhere;-) Thinking of you both and expecting everything to go well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Tammy, you've just made me blush! I've looked at my post and yes, can see what you mean, but I didn't quite mean it like that! :oops: But seriously, you are a lovely young couple with great strength, who have maintained a sense of humour and from what I could see, also know how to have fun and enjoy life together and that really does shine through and it was an absolute pleasure to meet and spend an evening with you both. We sooooo need to arrange an Amazingstoke meet so we can catch up again. Will look forward to it Tammy! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Belated congratulations on your 1st Annie-versary Neil. Sounds like you and Tammy had a good day. Will look forward to seeing you both once you arrange the "Amazingstoke" meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
