I have had a week of mixed feelings, a good friend of over 45 years died on Monday after a year of being in and out of a coma, his funeral is in Spain and I can’t get there, I will attend via video link. So sad to lose him (he didn’t quite make 60 yrs) but glad his suffering is over. He had always been fit and healthy but became ill after his first vaccination in May 2021 they are still investigating the connection.
A man whose family we befriended after my wife met them through volunteering has been ill with cancer for 5 years, now has just weeks to live. He has been in and out of hospitals all this time with very few periods of being well enough to participate in family life, when he is well enough I would take him for rides in one of the cars to put a resemblance of a smile on his face and give his wife a much need break.
This morning we are helping to take him to his eldest daughters first communion, something he has been fighting to be well enough to attend and we are pleased to help make it happen.
On a happier note, our Ukrainian guests are settling in well and becoming a little independent, they are lovely people and so grateful not only for the help we are able to give them, but the kindness of so many people welcoming their countrymen and supporting their country, they are such proud people.
My eldest daughter is planning to get married and is moving closer to us next week, which is just wonderful news.
These things (and my job …lol….) remind me that we must live our lives as best we can, be the best we can, and don’t waste the lives we are blessed with.
Oh, and this afternoon, I am off down the pub…… life goes in
