It's not a Blue Monday here

No way. I just don't believe it. Perhaps it's because I've not only booked our holiday but also because we're not waiting until the Summer - we go in a few weeks!

Yippee, and why not? After the year we've had, we deserve it, the whole bang-shoot. My OH was amazing throughout Mom's illness. Although he's only a Cardiologist, he helped us pull together all the specialists we needed to keep Mom out of hospital and well looked after at home. He suffered too. He cried when we got Mom's diagnosis, mostly because he knew what we would go through. And he was right in all respects. It was quite a roller-coaster.

I'm pleased though to repay him for his support by making all the arrangements, sorting out who will take care of the dogs, and Dad. And that just leaves me to take care of him, after twenty years together, still a beautiful friendship.
