there's been some card making
some hanging out in the craft room the little one and playing with lego
keeping myself busy in the kitchen making homemade granola
a bit of retail therapy today, new scissors, crochet cotton, tea towels, a lovely big jar and craft things
It has been a challenging weekend for me, Saturday afternoon I got a call from my Mum, a call that no daughter wants to get. My father is ill with that horrible disease cancer. As I type I still
can't quite comprehend this, I'm shocked, numb and struggling today it's been such an emotional day.
I'm keeping positive, we don't know how bad yet it is but it's important to look to the future and
see him there. I'm not sure how often I will be around, perhaps more to keep my mind occupied
I just don't know. I do know that I am going to keep my focus on being grateful to everyone
that I have and keep strong for my family.
Thank you
♥
Wishing your Father a speedy recovery and you and your family lots of strength.

ReplyDeleteI have been there, the shock is so violent, you feel sad, frightened, powerless and numb at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI wish that you will find the best way to be strong for your Father and Mother, for your family and for yourself.
I found that satying in the moment without projecting was a great help.
Sending positive thoughts Catherine. You know we are all here. Pruxxx

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read about your father, Catherine. One thing about cancer these days is that it's more of a battle and less of a life sentence. I really hope that the news to come is better than you imagine and the treatments work for your Dad. Thinking of you. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. Cancer is a rollercoaster, filled with ups and downs. We know it very well at our house. It doesn't always mean the worst, and I hope that in your father's case that is so.
