[QUOTE="Christoph1945, post: 8036309, member: 42426"] If one is rather prone to depression and suicidal thoughts, it makes good sense to ration one's viewing of all the latest news from Ukraine and also giving the news papers a miss for a while; giving us just enough time, perhaps, to digest what we are reading and seeing and that way we can avoid being swamped by the ensuing sadness of the hour. Today it will be all the more important for us 'all' to share our thoughts and fears with trusted friends and family and if isolated pick up the phone and talk to one of the many support organisatins that are there solely to support us. Sometimes, the simplest of things can strike a chord within the hidden memories of our hearts and we are not really sure as to why our emotions are so disturbed. Only the other day I was watching footage of Ukrainian refugees fleeing across the western borders into Poland and Romania and as they reached the safety of helping hands some were given soft toys and teddy bears. In February we lost our next-door neighbour of over fifty years and we attended her funeral on 22/2/22 to say our last goodbyes. Whils chatting with Muriel's family the subject of Theodor, her friend, came up. Muriel, a 94 year old widow, had been housebound for quite a few years. Some years ago, whilst chatting with my wife one day, Muriel happened to mention that she had never had a teddy bear and my wife proptly bought her a Teddy for her 73rd birthday and included this message with it. My name is Theodore, Theo for short, and Muriel I belong to you; you have waited for me for all these years, so I hope you will love me true. I'll listen to every heartache; all your tears I will soak them up and when youre happy still tell me and give me a nice big hug. I'll always be there for you and we'll be each other's best friend; so don't let me go or hurt me, I'm your's until life's end. May God bless us both for ever; may our lives be full of good cheer and never forget that whatever, you will always find me near. Theo XX Stay safe, stay well, and if nobody else will listen talk to Teddy. ;) [/QUOTE]
