Visits

I visited my son and his girlfriend and their baby son, I went to see all my childrens homes, great excitement and happiness being able to go and visit.

I don't drive any more so the visits weren't long, as I had to get there and back with my counsellor, but at least I made it out and I'm so glad now that I did as my eldest daughter and son have now moved away from the area and are much harder to visit.

I will write about the moves in another post.
Right, enough of that negative shit!

What have I done in this 60th year of mine?

Well, for one I achieved my goal of getting out of the house, and more than that, I got to see my youngest daughter walk across the stage to receive her MA!  I didn't get to see her degree ceremony so this was a huge deal for me.

It was just the best feeling, to see her face happy that I had made it and could share in her success.

There was not a prouder person in that huge room than me, knowing what hurdles she had to surmount to get there, how much she fought her demons, threw off the chains of her past and proudly walked the walk across that stage, words cannot say how proud I am of her.

I wrote about at the time here


But I think it needs saying again in this my 60th year.

More to come!
