Whilst this blog is not meant to be about my family I hope you will forgive my indulgence this week.
On the 14 th January Dad was admitted to hospital, seriously ill.
On the 15 th my husband was admitted to the same hospital, having suffered a massive stroke, he died some hours later.
On the 20th was hubby's funeral
The 21 st was the 17 th anniversary of the accident which left my son, Trevor, a quadriplegic
The 25 th is Grandpa's 90 th birthday ..... so good to have something joyful.
We managed to give dad a surprise party and the postcard above was sent to dad without me knowing anything about it.
The card arrived on THE day!
Well done Marian ... and a huge "THANK YOU'
This top hat is the one that was on the cake.Dad had to flip his ears out to hold the hat on!!!!
Clara, a long time friend, shares her birthday with grandpa - as she says they are twins seperated by 60 years!
Clara and Greg also got engaged today, unfortunately I did not get a photo of the happy couple.
