Vera died this morning after stuggling to keep herself alive for nearly two weeks. Thank-you to those who prayed for her, my family appreciates the thought.
There is an eccentric entrepreneur that I know here in Ireland , and he really had a big thing for St. Patrick's day, just as much as he had a big thing for making money!
Well, with his dream he decided he was going to hit the "big time" soooo he was going to market on St. Patricks day in New York and other larger USA towns with the product! "ST. PATRICK's Spring Water!" So, as far as he told me, he had copyrighted the label, and had fully intended to make it operational.. WOW, everyone chuckled, What a bright idea.. what a greennnn idea! What a rich idea!!
She is still on life support today and unable to maintain breathing for herself.

Thinking of you and yours my dear x
Here if you need to talk or vent Em.
oh sweety *hugs* all of us are here for you, and praying for her so much xxx
I so hope she will make it through... *hugs*
*hugs* i know waiting seems to be the hardest part sometimes.....
if you need someone to talk to...i am here for you.....
Well, thankyou very much for your concern. She is still on life support, and her condition got worse today. It is slowly beginning to dawn on us all that she may not be going to make it. Long lost family members are beginning to show up..it really isn't looking good. The medical team will decide at the weekend. If it is to be that she dies, I will not be around much for a while. Thankyou once again for showing your love and support, it is much appreciated.
Thankyou for your thoughts. The latest news is the condition remains the same and very critical. It is awfully sad because she was a wonderful person, loved by so many, and a great mother of seven children. She was one of these people who made you feel you could throw your legs up on her sofa when you came to visit, like you were at home in her home and the kettle was always on. It's just the way she was..our family are. I wish I could find a find a way to sneak inside her head and just tell her she has to leave wherever she is right now...and come home to us all.
Well, we have moved on since the 14th of March. Last night her condition got worse and finally, I was allowed in to ICU to see her. Her eyes reflected the same terror in my own, and I barely recognised her. I whispered in her ear that she had to leave to that place she was visiting now because her family needed her home. I left, and I wept, and I prayed.
Her life support continued and her condition again went downhill, and today the Priest came by in the morning and gave her the Last Rites. The family expected her death in the afternoon when life support was taken off.
Then, she maintained her own breathing..., and atonishly has now done so for the past nine hours. We have all said prayers and the family is keeping a bedside vigil tonight.
She held her life last night without life support..it is amazing. I know I can't help but to hope that the brain will show activity again, I think we all are thinking the same thing..well except for Dom, sometimes he so damn logical it takes away all hope. Well, he is her sister so I expect he don't want to hope. Hmm, heavens would roll over if he showed emotion, sometimes I just want to shake him and tell him its okay to let feelings out, and talk about things...
My thoughts are with you both.
Just sitting here waiting for news from the hospital..it is unbearable, waiting..the unknown. Darn, I pray Vera lives..she is so much a lady and way to young to die.

Well, this was one of the best birthdays ever.. a birthday weekend! I went out on Saturday night because it seemed I could enjoy things better than going out tonight what with work starting early again tomorrow morning!
We had a beautiful day!! I got to dip marshmallows in a chocolate fountain that was yummy and devasting for the figure hahaa! We then went. "shopping" for a while and drove into Donegal just off the Malin Head where we watched the sun slip down over Lough Foyle with a half of guinness. Later we took the ferry across the Foyle back - man, was the sea rough!! I am happy it was for ten minutes only.
I got the following gifts:
Estee Lauder make-up bag full of goodies, like serum, cream, lipsstick, blusher, eyeshadows etc
Estee Lauder golden shopper bag and purse to match
The most beautiful gorgeous, handsomiest "Radley" hangbag that I have ever seen. I screamed with delight when I un-wrapped that hahaha!
I also got clothes, bathstuffs, tokens and money, and some delicious ghd hairdressing products :) Damn, I was lucky getting all that!!!

It is the wee small hours of the morning and I am just home. I had a lovely birthday night out. First of family took me out to my favourite restaurant for dinner, and then I came home got changed and hit the club with a few friends. Feeling a bit worse for wear now 'tho , haha.
Tomorrow, I am going away for most of the day, so I am really looking forward to that, smiles. Well goodnight, gooday, goodmorn, whatever ciao! haha

Ah I'm glad you had a good birthday x
Ha, thanks Sinora.. I decided to take the Saturday night of my birthday instead of going out tonight because of work tomorrow.
Today was beautiful..it deserves a journal entry on its own. I had beautiful, lovely time :>)
The night simmers lust, and the thought of your touch colours the night sky above me.
I don't know why I even bother doing some things I do anymore....some people are real prissy. Get a fuckin grip!

I think it will turn out great. Keep it up!
Hmmm... I think I know, and if I am right- screw it. We had fun, and thank you for it.
aww *hugs* don't worry what others think or get.....i am sure they are not worth the time of day to lose sleep or thought over....*smile*
After your laughter like thunder
After your skin like coffee and cream
After it takes our bodies into the night
After we've come to the extreme
I want to lay down on your shoulder
Just inside your arm
I want to listen to your heart beat
And your breathing on and on
I want to lay down on your shoulder
Surrender to your peace
And go to sleep
And when we've gone a million miles
Made true our dreams with sweat and bone
After we've built it up with our bare hands
Made strong a place we can call home
And when the light in my eye is fading
When running water becomes too deep
Finally angels turn my fire to dust
And when my soul's no longer mine to keep
I want to lay down on your shoulder
Just inside your arm
I want to listen to your heartbeat
And your breathing on and on
I want to lay down on your shoulder
Surrender to the peace
And just go to sleep

Her suffering is over. Her family got a chance to say goodbye. She was blessed and died in grace. You could have done no more.
