Had a lovely day out with my granddaughter yday at flam. Feeling the aches today tho of the shows and all the walking. I love these days out but they sad aswell as I don't no how many more times I will get to do things. Its like I look everyday for places to take her but prices are ridiculous plus then they back at school so then I think will I still be ok by summer to do things then I feel sad again. Its a vicious circle .hope everyone is having a lovely Easter x
Hello Bev, I am so pleased to hear you had a lovely day out with your granddaughter. I am sure and know she would have loved your time and company. I feel I understand where you are coming from - we know we can do activities one day but our mind wanders into th
future and asks ourselves, “well, how many more times can I do this day out/trip/visit with them?” I am still getting my head around this myself - our elderly Mum lives in a fab Care Home but it’s a 120 mile round trip, I have always loved driving and am hoping to be up to visiting her next week but I’ll have to decide on the day. My brother, sister and all my nieces and nephews are travelling tthe UK in July to visit me and our Mum. My mind wanders, like you, will I be up to doing anything with them? My kind, understanding and all-round amazing Macmillan nurse of 3.5 years recently told to keep doing all my activities whilst I still can as when I decline, it could be very rapid. That may sound harsh but if we can, we need to try and live in the moment. I’ve wittered on about myselas I am aware that I may come across as everything is sunshine and rosy, it’s not and it isn’t for any of us. I am sending you a big hug, I still want to know that you are soon going on a Coach TripI can be very bossy when I need to be! I pressed the ‘hug’ icon and now it’s all over my post - haha! Big hugs and keep going, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
