Thankyou so much,

To all my wonderful friends here,

For sticking by me,

Throughout the years,

Haven’t been able to come on ds for a while,

Too much pain,

Down this end,

But I never forgot any of you,

Because you mean the world to me,

You truly do,

(((******!!!!!""BUTTERFLY HUGS""!!!!!******)))

Linda Butterfly.

Journal Entry for February 9, 2009 Mood
Monday, February 9, 2009 | A Tragic story

Tragedy,

When the fires come,

And you can’t go on,

It’s tragedy,

When the morning dawns,

And there’s nothing left,

It’s hard to bear,

With no-one around you,

You’re goin’ nowhere,

Tragedy,

When you lose control,

And you feel no cool,

It’s tragedy,

When your house burns down,

And your loved one’s lost,

It’s hard to bear,

With no-one beside you,

You’re goin’ nowhere.
Saturday was the worst day here,
it reached 47.9 Celsius, { 118.2 Fahrenheit,}
and did not bring us cheer,
we are all safe,
but my heart breaks in two,
for all those lives lost,
and the pets and livestock too,
my friends at work,
have lost family and friends,
and they have husbands and brother-in laws,
fighting the blaze,
the sky is just one black misty haze,
131 lives lost,

Over 700 houses burned to the ground,

We really need the weather to turn around,

And bring some relief from this radiant heat,

The fire and wind just can’t be beat,

There’s 31 fires burning out of control
a third of our state,

Already burnt I’m told,

Please could you send your good wishes,

Love, prayers,

And whatever you know how,

Because the people of Victoria,

Really need you now.

 

With all of my love,
Linda Butterfly.

You’re simply the best,

Better than all the rest,

Better than anyone,

I’ve ever met before,

You’re raised my spirits high,

Kept me going for so long,

Don’t know how I’d get along.

If I didn’t have you as my friends.

A very special thankyou,

To Carol, my sister, my friend,

For keeping everyone updated,

And sending the love, hugs, mojo, messages,

And prayers my end.

 


Mum, Dad and Daniel in hospital.

 

 

 

Mum, Dad and me.

 

Dad’s resting at home right now,

He sends all his love to you,

He said that he never knew,

That there were so many,

Caring people in this world.

 

His wounds have all healed,

The pneumonia has gone,

Dad’s feeling much better,

‘Cos the lung biopsy’s clear.

 

 

Me and Mum.



Dad and me.

 

 

Daniel and his beloved Poppy.

 


Daniel was great,

Couldn’t have made the trip up North,

Without him,

He’s an angel,

And I do so love him,

As I love all of you.

 


Love you all loads,

 

(((******!!!!!""BUTTERFLY HUGS""!!!!!******)))

 

Linda Butterfly.

    Smiles, Thanks for sharing. You look good; i hope you are feeling better. I am hanging in there. I am having nutritional issues becasue of being sick and all the meds; it depleats the body so I am on rx for vit. D. Had test run for hormone levels... will know in a few weeks and then the dr will treat accordingly. I am trying to drink more milk now. This week I am trying to be more determined than the pain and get some things done. I am so behind. I want to catch up on my life and play, and paint, and relax with out pain. One thing thought that has come from having the pain is that it was not silently causing more damage; known about made me seek out med. help till some one would listen, tested and treated the issues. I am reading a book by Dr. Vliet ' Screaming to be heard'' take care,


    happychi
