Hi all
I’ve been involved with this site for almost exactly 5 years now, since I first came to this site in 2011 looking for answers http://www.dyspraxicadults.org.uk/forum ... 399#p15399 to later becoming a moderator.
As you know I’m quite prolific here and will have a go at trying to answer the seemingly unanswerable posts and hopefully doing a usefulish job of it at least some of the time.
Anyway I won’t go on too long. I'd like to salute all members here past present and future. We’re all amazing in our own ways. Thank You all for making this site what it is
I guess I could reward myself in some small way as today as been a tough week what with work and a family bereavement, losing Mum to cancer after a short but brave battle.

Typical. I've managed to post it twice. Tis the computer's bloody fault or My Dyspraxia wanting the last laugh!
Maybe I should moderate myself for shameless post count boosting!

Re: Reflections on my 1,000th post
So sorry to hear about your loss, Tom. It's hard to go thru losing your Mum. I lost my Mum 30 years ago and think of her every day tho I've come to terms with it now. I guess what helps is I'm a very firm believer in that we just pass on to the next stage of existence, whatever that might be, but I know not everybody else believes this.
Not sure if this will help or not, but here goes. In the days after my Mum died various members of the family experienced a beautiful scent of flowers even when none were in the house. This wasn't all at the same time nor when we were all together. Nobody even thought to mention it until weeks later and when we compared notes we were amazed to find we'd all smelled flowers - and as soon as you became aware of it, the scent faded. I was most surprised about my very cynical older brother (who doesn't believe in anything!) saying he'd had the scent of flowers in his house the day after she died!
I've since learnt that the scent of flowers after a loved one passes away is very common. It's hearing about ordinary people who have extraordinary experiences like this that convinces me there has to be something beyond and death is not the end. Hope this helps anyway!
