Well we did have a great time in London together. Harriet and I managed some shopping (well she spent my money!), and the boys did electrical/computer shopping. Then in the evening we went to see Billy Elliott - the kids dancing was absolutely amazing!!! Afterwards Andrew, David and I went for a curry at 11pm at night, (it can only be done in London, Harriet retired to her room, bless!).
Saturday - went to the tower of London (the sun was shining, wow!), it was an amazing place and we all enjoyed the experience. Amazing history.
This is all about trying to make happy memories - moving away from the illness and cancer for a day or two can lift the spirit. We are great together and have lots of fun and laughs and it is important to have time together to do this and get away from exams, work and cleaning and washing of the house. The illness will never go away but I can still laugh, be mad (nothing new there!!), and enjoy time with family and friends.
Harriet and David make me laugh, and equally when they spend time together like this there relationship is stronger. OK they can gang up on Mum and Dad - but hey whats wrong with that in a fun way.
love you lots Andrew, David and Harriet - life is great with you around. XXXX
Well..... an emotional roller coaster ride reading your blog Kathryn, but nonetheless, one that I feel privaleged to be invited to share with you. The blog is an excellent medium of communication. I feel much more informed and aware of the details of your circumstances now, and I hope that you feel better for sharing your thoughts and emotions too?
ReplyDeleteReally glad that you had a great time in London, and hope you continue to have lots of fun, frollicks, and general bouts of nuttiness along this rocky road. Keep smiling cous! Just say the word if and when you are up for another girly overnighter. I can sneak up for coffee through the night too - might even produce a tot of tia maria to go in it!! xxxxxxxxxx
Thanks cous...might take you up on that girly night. Well we do have laugh : )
ReplyDeleteJust say the word and I'll organise it!
