    Hey Anika. Glad to hear from you.
    You have passed so many milestones, and you have become a strong young woman, so much stronger than you thought you could be.
    Alex would be so proud of you, heck, we are.
    Give little Connor a huge hug from us and hope he can give you one back in return (also from us).

    I noticed they started putting up "watch out for bikers" signs all around the place (well where I am anyway). Those really kill me to see..even seeing someone driving past on a bike does, I always imagine they're Alex..

    It will for a while mate. I still get a lump,in my throat, when I see a car the same as my wifes, drive past. I suppose it is normal. Well as normal as the situation can be. Just remember, you are not alone in this.

    It is good to hear from you again.

    Know what you mean, for awhile certain engines used to really turn my head.
    I still love bikes, love the sound, I grew up with them though.

    Looked at my leathers the other day, and they're mouldy from being left on the floor of my wardrobe, can't find my gloves or balaclava, helmet has a cobweb in it. Been awhile.
    Glad to see those signs going up!
    Good to see you post too girl

    I know what you mean ... a guy here where I live has an identical bike to Grubs ... the first few times i saw him my heart almost stopped ... this one takes time ... I found myself just reminding me to breath.

    It ahs been nearly three months since Alex pasted away, i still think about him often, you are not alone in this and you never will be. I still regret that on the last day of work , before he was killed , i gave him some shit about folding a job around the wrong way, i relise that as his boss it was and is my job, but i still regret those last few words. We still talk about him often. I miss the little smart arse......

    Hey raftn, nice to see you again.I'm sure Anika knows what you mean about giving him shit.It's obvious that he was well thought of by yourself, don't sweat it mate.
    Anika, I hope the weather and the whole place slowing down for Christmas means you are getting some quiet time for you!
    Take care and hug that littel guy for us, aye.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Roger don't worry about it he never said a bad word about you. He often talked about work and how much he enjoyed it..well not technically the job but he said it was the best lot of people to be working with. The only thing I'm pissed at you for is giving him that Friday off instead of Monday! But who knows it may still have happened with the way he drove. And yes he was a smart arse and I was one right back to him and I miss having someone to joke around with a lot..My family takes it the wrong way but me and Alex could give each other shit and laugh about it.And Mark..what quiet time?? I never knew how much Alex helped me out..I would sometimes complain he didn't do enough, not sure why now. He didn't really clean the house but I didn't expect him to, but he would often give Connor the bottle in the middle of the night when I was too tired, or hold him once he got home from work when I was losing my patience. He sure is wearing me out now..Often likes to wake up at 5:30am, and going to bed at 9 now he's rolling over both ways too, trying to crawl, eating solids..doing everything very early! I know Alex would be so incredibly proud and I hope he's watching it all and hears me talking to him. It still doesnt seem real to me..it feels like he's just gone off to work and then 4:30 rolls by and he doesnt come home..I imagine the entire day what Alex would be saying or doing in relation to what I am doing, I can picture him laughing at something Connor did, or me txting him something, or him chatting with me about his day

    LOL ,sorry did I say/mean something wrong there Anika.Hey good to see you back and to hear whats happening.
    I'd like to wish you and Connor all the best this Christmas, knowing it's going to be a hard one.Anika you are one impressive lady, please if nothing else come back to us here from time to time and let us know how Connor and you are doing. Tell us, as always exactly what you're thinking and feeling. Seems to me it's us now needing to know that we're not surplus to requirements.
    As always and meant everytime I say it, if theres anything I/we can do please, just yell.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Anika, Graham and the rest of the families, wishing you all the best at this crazy time of year.
    Another milestone which is going to be damned hard to get through, but we hope you'll find the strength to survive.
    Huge hugs for little Connor, and all of you.
    Anika, have a safe trip. You've got so much to tell Alex, he will be proud of you, but I'm sure that if he can, he's been watching anyway.
    Still thinking of you all, and keep strong.
    Michelle
