Sounds like you're coping (just!) ... but being the practical lady you are - you're adjusting ... <br /><br />It seems as we get older we need to adjust a great deal to give ourselves more flexibility and ease of ways forward .. <br /><br />Good for you - the main thing is Mr G is recovering .. but keep that balance in check ... look after you too - which you seem to be doing .. all the best - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-11429866669859137872013-10-02T02:46:50.286+02:002013-10-02T02:46:50.286+02:00Been there, done that as they say...

I am sure your son will get over his mad...he is just concerned about both of you of course and doesn't realize at his age yet how we get used to living with just each other and our regular routine and friends etc...

Life sure is funny isn't it?
My M...wow Gattina. Life sure is funny isn't it?<br />My Mom looked every where for her husband in the hospital. We didn't tell her he died until she was strong enough and she wanted to get strong to go out to look for him.<br />As they got older, they became such a close couple, like two teenagers infatuated with each other.<br />It's easy to take for granted that things will always stay the same and the harsh reality that they won't is hard to bear.<br />I always say I hope I go before my husband does cause I just don't know how I will cope without him.<br />As for your son, he tried to do the right thing. He wouldn't have come to be entertained and so you wouldn't have had to do anything.After all you are his Mom and his Dad is his Dad. Imagine not being able to say good bye when it was possible to have a few words just in case something happened.<br />Sometimes to be strong, one has to let go. I know I am one to talk cause I never do either lol<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxoA Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-69228147071394439942013-09-30T15:59:57.561+02:002013-09-30T15:59:57.561+02:00I'm sorry it was a difficult weekend but glad ...I'm sorry it was a difficult weekend but glad Mr. G is home.

I hope your painting was able to lift your spirits a bit. I love the colours in the painting and it looks like a lot of goldfish swimming to me.<br />Pleased to see Arthur is sharing the burden of looking after Mr G.Linens and Royalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424916243839362866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-55497562003165269292013-09-30T08:08:47.811+02:002013-09-30T08:08:47.811+02:00It is a trying time for a partner too when one get...It is a trying time for a partner too when one gets sick or has an operation. It is a mental strain as well as a physical one. That is why you are so tired. Keep resting and relaxing and hopefully you will return to your strong self. It does get scary as we get older and one gets sick. It is always in the back of our minds what will happen when he goes or if I go. One of my neighbours died on Sat night after her year long battle with neck cancer. She was some years younger than me. I feel sorry for her husband but the neighbours are offering support and he has 3 children not far away.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.com
