Morning everybody
Just a quick update on the " wedding dilemma " when to tell mum .....well the deed is done . Emma went to visit her grandmother on Monday evening , I`d warned her that grandma had been really low in spirits for the last 10 days or so , however mum asked Em if she and Alistair were planning on going away anywhere ( sometimes she`s quite uncanny in the questions she asks ) so Em decided to come clean.
The way she put it was to explain that they really just wanted to have a very small wedding which wouldn`t have been possible if they married here so It would be more or less immediate family, she also pulled a master stroke by inferring that Ali`s grandmother had been very difficult ....clever girl !
Mum was absolutely terrific and was so excited for them saying that it was their day and they should do whatever makes them happy . She wants to buy Emma a special piece of jewellry for her to wear on her wedding day and we`ll have a celebration when they come home.
I`m so relieved its out in the open and we can talk about wedding stuff like any other family would. I have to praise her generous spirit , at no time and in no way did she feel sorry for herself or say " what about me " she`s never been possessive and thankfully that part of her is still very much still there.
So I might even start looking for " the outfit " just need to drop about 2 stone in the next week or two.......no problem !!!
Seeing mums psychiatrist tomorrow , just a routine visit I think to check the medication is suiting her , and I`m planning on going back to work next week so perhaps I`m finally taking everything a bit more in my stride.
Not such a quick update after all.
Love Jeanie x
