Sometimes something happens that makes you realise just how lucky you really are in the scheme of things. That happened to me tonight.
I have been mucking around on the computer brooding, because my DH came home tonight from the hospice after seeing FIL and said that he was doing a bit better today. Forgive me, but I just hoped it was the rally that so many people manage before the end. He is truly suffering now and I get so angry that if our 12 yr old dog (12 today even lol) was suffering like that we would have been able to take the kindest route before it got to this dreadful point. FIL finally accepted that the hospice was the best place for himself only on Wednesday after falling, not eating, going into diabetic crises etc etc etc over and over again and trying to manage by himself with just health visitors for months.
I was wandering around the blogs and from Sarah's blog I meandered onto anothers.
Now we may have, so far this year -
a stuffed washing machine
a knackered fridge/freezer
a broken oven
a blown-up computer
a car that sounds like a diesel when its petrol and will not pass it's MOT in October which will leave us car-less
and no money to replace any of the above
AND a FIL with terminal pancreatic cancer but we are still TRULY blessed and I thank GOD for all that we DO have.
Just have a read of Renee's blog and you will understand................
