Hiccup

My current thing is that life can be very messy.

Mr. S and I have had to come to NZ as things have not been going well with my father. We had already planned on making a trip and were booked to leave next Saturday. In 24 hours we had to change everything.

When my mother told the doctor that she had 3 children living overseas, she was asked 'if they wanted to see their father alive?'
'Yes'
'Well tell them to come within the next 7-10 days'.

So here we are.

Life is very messy and mostly does not go to plan. If it did, well our trip would next week would have been for a nice catch up.

We are grateful to have had this time - since we've been able to sit and have some nice chats with him since we got here. Other times we've just been sitting quietly and reading, and in fact that is not depressing, it is very peaceful.

We take every day as it comes, and even manage to have a laugh sometimes.

I find it hard to know whether to update with this kind of thing, but on the other hand I just don't like the idea of back-dating either.

More later.
