A Christmas Carol!

Today I wakened up feeling peaceful.That was a good feeling. The sadness comes in waves.Today I was aware of a sense of relief,I did not have to worry about dad,no sending texts and holding my breath till one came back.No dreading the end the doctor promised for pa. Dad had his dignity right to the end.It meant the world to him and to us. We all sense that his last week back home in Kintillo was a happy week.............................
We had a night out with Andrew and Lucy on Wednesday,I had booked seats for A Christmas Carol at the Anglican Cathedral. I thought it would be a lovley start to Christmas,in that beautfiul space and see Charles Dicken's wondeful Christmas story acted out.
Unfortunately it was a pantomime,and fine for 10 year olds,I knew quite quickly that we would not enjoy it so I asked John to slip out to see if the doors were opened,they were and we all left ,and many followed us.
It was lovely ,we all had a good laugh ,we went to the Phil for a drink and had a great catch up which we all enjoyed.
Then we came back here to Ullet Road where I had left a suppper ready to be warmed up.John talked a lot about "big Archie" The Lightbody clock,Lucy said how much she was enjoying Latitude.I then shared the story of our Day in Scotland scattering dad's ashes. Proud to say I was able to talk about it without any tears.Progress.
I would like to go with Andrew and Philip and indeed Lucy ,if she would like that ,to visit, in their cases ,their great great grandmothers graves.Then to Inveraray too, especially as Lucy has not been there. I think it will happen.
Todady it feels quite wintery,we were hoping to go to Patsy and Kev's local fair at Oxton with Anita and Philip tonight, but sadly they are not able to go and we can't face public transport in this wet and windy weather.Sad because it will be a lovely evening.I have an Inner Child workshop tomorrow,must go and bake a cake,lovely weekend ahead, Philip coming tomorrow night and will cook for us:-) and on Sunday when he is at a wedding,we are going to Black and White Movie Sunday and Andrew and Lucy's. I can't think of a nicer way to spend a cold wet weekend.
