I lurk, I lurk every day 🙂 I've been lurking since oct 2008 I think.
I found fh+g purely by accident, i'd been browsing ebay and found that there was forums/threads.
I read some threads in various forums, and then found a thread about fh+g's glow worm.
well i'm pretty sure that was the nickname used - nickname isn't the right word 😞 - term of endearment would be more appropriate.
sadly the thread I had found was after the baby's death
so I browsed a bit more and I found the original thread which if my memory serves me right was started by the grandmother before the birth.
my apologies if my memory isn't quite right - my thread is not intended to offend or hurt anyone.
my outstanding memory is of the love and support shown on fh+g at that time, I can recall seeing photos of two different fh+g ladies sending off balloons in glow worm's memory, and I believe a fh+g lady attended the funeral.
so why am I here, and why do I stay ( even tho i'm in lurk mode 🙂
because, altho people come and people go, and people return
fh+g is essentially a nice place to be, it's full of kind, caring and supportive people.
I've seen flowers / plants sent for bereavements, gifts sent out of friendship,
I've read threads on unplanned / unexpected pregnancies and enjoyed the baby photos 9+ months later, and seen photos of the knitted gifts made.
I ' know ' you,
I know where you work / what you work as
I've seen your home, and seen you move house / location
I've admired your garden, and followed your progress in the greenhouse
I know what you eat for dinner,
I know your childrens' and grandchildrens' names, I even know your goddaughter's daughter's name 🙂
I know what you've knitted / sewen for your children/grandchildren,
I know where you've been on holiday, and I've seen the photos

I've seen new baby photos, new grandchild photos, new kitten photos and new puppy photos and
I've cried when you've lost your cats and dogs 😞
and even tho I've never met you, fh+g are a great bunch of people !
I've supported charities, followed a horse's progress 🙂 bought knitted cats ( and would have won another if i'd not got the week wrong 😞 and I've got a fabulous collection of yankee candles.
why are you here / why do you stay ?
