    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Put the results to the back of your mind if possible while you are away and just enjoy the break. It does not seem like it was 6 years ago Mr SA first got ill. I remember that was around Easter too but that time you had to cancel your holiday.

    So sorry you have all to this to go through with Mr SA and your work friend.

    I just caught up with your diary SA and I'm so sorry to hear about Mr SA. I do hope everything works out ok for him once you both get back.

    Just to reiterate what everyone else has said. Thinking about you and sending (((hugs))) XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
  • Popping in,

    How is the prep going? Are you packed?

    Has Mr SA made any requests for a wallet? shoes?

    Nevertheless she persisted.
