This last week or so I have been feeling very ill. For those who say cancer patients have very good support, think again. By now I've come to the conclusion that once you reach a certain age, it's easier to to be ignored. In the earlier hours of this morning I was meant to be joining our daughter and husband on their way to Bristol Airport. A number of family members arranged a Christmas week's skiing holiday in France. It was planned in January and I agreed to go. I'd hoped to join them right up to yesterday, but our daughter could see that I was very unwell over the past week. Sharp girl: "Dad if you don't wish to go, you don't have to go just to please me. I'll stay with you" I knew that I would be a burden and told her she was right. It was only fair that she spend her time with her husband who came over from Iraq for the week. Should they have a holiday to remember it will cheer me up no end and will be worth the loss of £1,500 for my part of the all in holiday. She will also have her eldest son, his wife and eight year old grand daughter.
Christmas will just be another day for me as the hill to our house is impassible. Bad enough up to now, but after to-day's fresh heavy snow fall we are now cut off.
Thank God the winter weather was a lot kinder during the years I cared for my wife. She has thrown off the weight of Alzheimer's and and earth's worries. I'm just waiting to join her. May you blessings help to outshine your sorrows.
