Hello lovely people.
The strangest thing happened to me this morning.
I woke up at 9am (having not gone to bed until 3am) and me and the pooch were snuggling into the duvet debating as to whether or not we should stay there for another hour or get ourselves up and at the day. I just laid there stroking Rocky for a while and closed my eyes. I wasn't asleep because I was stroking Rocky all the time. For a fleeting moment an image came into my head as clear as bright sunlight. My Dad was sitting on a bench in a railway station. He checked his watch and then looked up and smiled. The station was called 'Destination'. It only lasted for a fleeting few seconds and then it disappeared but it made me feel so calm, if only for a moment. I kept sqeezing my eyes shut to try and get it back again but try as I might it just wouldn't come back. Now you can call me crazy if you want to but I believe my Dad is waiting at that station for our Gordy and he was trying to tell me that he will be there and Gordy is going to be alright.
Gordy started the new chemo yesterday. It is a course of tablets that he has to take over 5 days and then has a break for two weeks before he gets the next round. I know he is so worried that it isn't going to work and I've got everything crossed hoping that it does and he gets some more precious moments with Alex and Zain.
Ems - I hope your harvesting is going well.
LM - I look forward to your cheery antics today.
Hope everyone else is as well as you can be.
Much love,
