CHRISTMAS 2009

I omitted to blog about Christmas. How could not have done???? Call it chemobrain.

Well, we managed to travel to North Wales to see our daughter, son-in-law and 2 granddaughters for a few days. It was a wonderful time for me....I'm not sure if anyone realised how much it meant to me to see my family. Now that I am so far along the CLL bench I always wonder when or if I will see them again. That's not being too emotional I think....it's just true. I love my daughter and granddaughters more than they would ever guess and time spent with them is very precious to me. Distance means we can't see them often but there isn't a day goes by without I don't think of them. I look forward to phone calls and emails and of course, I look forward to seeing them again soon. They are loved.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

I must have the best husband ever. He has decided to make this the best Christmas ever for us all. We are hoping to go to North Wales to stay with our daughter, son-in-law and 2 granddaughters. We don't want them to have to 'do everything' so Neil has been cooking for days. So far he has made a Christmas pudding, A Christmas Cake, mince pies, vegetarian sausage rolls and ordinary sausage rolls. He has done the shopping for the ingredients and learned much from scratch from Delia Smith's new book. No one but Neil and I know the effort and love that has gone into this, but surely this is the spirit of Christmas!!
