nooooo i was just saying goodnight .... I'm still here - I couldnt leave at the moment need all the support i can get -I'm helping dad arrange his funeral which is most surreal - I guess he's trying to make it easy for me to deal with bless him so thoughtful right to the end Hugs Jan xxxx

Having read the title, I wondered what happened to the other two Musky Tears as I thought your wit was up to no good again. Having read the comments, sorry to read about your dad Jan, James........

Jan Allison
Date: 9/24/2014 4:09:00 PM

Despite everything James he is doing really well but i guess he knows his time is running out and is actually making it easier for me to deal with when the inevitable day dawns - hes remarkable and so pragmatic makes me relaise how much i love him:-) hugs jan xxx Maurice Yvonne wrote a poem called casarah tim Jan and me - we are the four musketeer or musky tears lol

Jan Allison

LOl Brenda - it does say i'll see you tomorrow:-) I would never leave without saying a proper goodbye ... started to discuss dad's funeral today is surreal as he's still here but he wants certain things arranging bless him -think hes trying to make it easier for me Hugs Jan xxx

Yeah, no I agree what a beautiful way to say goodnight and luckily the caregiver that helps me with my mom sometimes was here. Lucky she knows CPR. No really I'm fine really.

Jan Allison
Date: 9/24/2014 11:49:00 AM

You scared me for a second there--Jan---not that you might be leaving---but that you might have ruined a beautiful poem, by trying to fit my name on your list----You know I'm just kidding---It really was about the leaving part !

Jan Allison
Date: 9/24/2014 8:22:00 AM

I'm in the UK Charlene so we have about a 6 hour time difference so it really is a new day for me here. I am OK - the musky tear is reference to a poem Maurice Yvonne wrote about myself Casarah and Tim
