Delighted for you @PipneyJane - that’s great news.
Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.6 -
such good news!
It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!5 -
oh @PipneyJane - I am so pleased to read this!
In the last fortnight it's been the first anniversary of a very dear friend dying of Motor Neurone Disease, and the discovery on getting back into contact with dear friends after 4-5 years that we have now missed our chance to see both of then as one died last year, and in visiting our surviving friend, we found that another friend is now in a care home, chairbound abd not expecting to finish her year- not yet sixty…And then the sad news that a dear friend was going into hospice care now so we arranged to visit her two says after the news- she didd in the early hours before we would have gone. Only 50, with children at school…
so I am extra-delighted to hear that you have good news!!!It's nothing to the unending series of deaths that anyone living through the war must have suffered, but still…
