When you have never been ill before it is difficult to realise that all is not well until it is too late. This happened to me over the Festive period of Christmas and New Year and as I refused to recognise the symptoms which were presenting themselves for too long when they registered on my body it felled me. I hardly remember when I took to my bed but thankfully our number 2 son arrived from Dublin unsuspectingly thinking he was starting a Christmas holiday with plans to see many old friends - sadly the old friends turned out to be his old parents as he ran full pelt into a chef/nurse break. He was wonderful and managed to escape back into his own life after a week's hard work only to feel ill himself by then but by the time he negotiated Bristol Airport then Dublin Airport and a journey back to his flat he realised that he might live on and thankfully his germs did not grow into anything more than a sniffle. Meanwhile, number 1 son found himself alone with his children and having to play with all their gifts with them, this was not easy as his young wife died some years ago on Christmas Day so it is not a good time for them. However! all is well with my family now and we are all thankful for the Blessings.
Number 1 son has a book full of orders for work into the Spring, number 2 son is planning a new life at the other side of the world for a while and I know he'll be happy. Our grandchildren have lots of plans for next year and we will learn at the beginning of March whether Georgina has been given a place at the High School of her choice. Thanks to gifts from both our sons my dear one and I are planning a long w/e in a luxurious
hotel not too far from home. Come on family let's go for it....
