Wants for ChristmasOkay then, this is your chance to tell us all just what your heart desires, and what you would really like to give or be given as the best present to yourself or otherwise on the 25th December.
I was over at my sons house earlier tonight and watched with great interest and humour over my two Grandsons writing out their christmas lists.
Both of them wanted gifts in excess of £500 each, to their Dad's utter dismay.
I remember just how I felt when he was a lad and cash was always a real problem and I couldn't give him what he really wanted
My own particular wish however is this; I would like to have my old pals who no longer find the time to visit these days, and who then might perhaps suddenly decide to turn up and relive those fun precious moments, now seemingly long gone.
Hey! Ho! Such is life!
Good fun, far too quickly forgotten, by far too many.

well, we dont 'do' christmas in this house - the solstice is celebrated instead - but.....
having given a lot of thought to the question, for myself I'd hope my dad would either recover from his illness that has been diagnosed as terminal or that the doctors could help him better to alleviate the considerable pain he is in, also that my mum will cope with his passing without herself becoming ill.
for a world present, I'd like to see ALL suffering (human, animal and the general planet) to stop, and wars to be a thing of the past.

I dont mean to sound mean but after the amount of pain I saw Peter in before he died, It was horrific. He begged for Dormucuim (not sure of spelling in english) Morphine helped him no more even on a pump. He tried so hard to get out of bed and try and be normal for me and the kids, but you could see that he would never get better if if you wished for that. I am sorry Zaf. I am just grateful for being there for him the last night he was here.
We ourselves will NOT be celebrating christmas so much though my dutch family are trying so hard to make xmas softer and bearable for us. 
I want Peter back is my greatest wish - sorry ppl  Since Peters death I have been diagnosed as a manic depressive. something i am ashamed of, i was a normal person but now i need to take 20 pills a day to feel a real person, sorry
Zaf what you are about to experience will be the hardest you have ever been through. I hope your mother will not get ill but going on my own experience, my kids find it very hard despite doing brilliant in school my 8 year old daughter self harms and my son is very angry, does silly things at school. i wish you the best.
i am really sorry for you too say this as you deserve better.

mwl,
My goodness, there is no need to be ashamed of being Manic Depressive or Bi-Polar as it is referred to as well.
My husband is MD and it's an illness like any other. You would not be ashamed if you had a broken leg, or a heart attack or some other illness of any other organ.
Your brain is also an organ in your body so please don't be ashamed because it has suddenly taken a bit of a bad turn.
You will be able to control it with medication. I have to take other medication for HBP for the rest of my life so don't dwell on it.
Live your life to the full, and I am so sorry for your loss, but would your late husband have been happy to see yuo grieve for so long my dear, I think not.
. I lost my first husband many years ago and really do understand how you feel, but the thing is, you go on, because you have to, and you will.
Bless You.

I agree totally, any form of depression is an illness and nothing to be ashamed of - if you had to take pills for a heart condition you wouldnt be ashamed, depression is an imbalance of the chemicals of your brain (or so I was told) and it is no worse than taking pills for high blood pressure or any other illness.
wishing you well mwl
