Posted on Sat, 03 Oct 2020
It's a hard step to return, isn't it? Go on praying. And the Lord knows all that he is thinking at the present time, and all his confusion. When my youngest was young he had Asperghers, and we often both got exasperated and frustrated. Nowadays...

So sorry for your sad
Posted on Thu, 06 Aug 2020
So sorry for your sad memories, Jenny. I'm sure your mother would have been devastated in her sadness if she'd been able to realise the long-term anguish it would cause you. But I think you have many happy memories of her before that overtook her...

My reaction was 'Poor Penelope'. A bit like realising the unhappiness and friendlessness of most bullies. I remember realising from what my primary school son was saying that the children were egging this bully in their midst on, and I knew...

Posted on Sun, 22 Mar 2020
I haven't been out to look this year, but at others, found so many of the 'Mother's Day cards' in the shops seemed to be artificial, and not realisitic for many of the ups and downs of family life.
My mother is no longer alive, and in...

I remember in Snowdonia my youngest son (who had Asperghers) running on some rocks with glee and his slightly older brother...

I was interested to read your last couple of lines that seem to indicate how easily one can hide away inside oneself to loss for others and oneself.
When researching family history often there is a just a skeleton list of names and places...

You really made me realise why all my family have loved cycling. I missed the boat somewhere when growing up and never got there until on a tandem briefly. The pleasure and refreshment of fresh air at a slight speed really comes across here –...
