Birthday Girl !!

Hi....

A big "Hello" to you all....

Especially to 'Farm Girl' who's relative, hopefully, with all of our prayers, is getting better & out of hospital today.... God is with you & our prayers are with you all !!

Alright... it's February 25th & it's ME's 22nd birthday !! Yep - it's 22 years ago, at this very time, when B was in hospital, in the labour ward - settling in for the day..... and ME was born about 4.30 in the afternoon !! It's one thing to have children & I know there are thousands upon thousands of people who, for many reason, cannot have that blessing..... but, that first time you actually get to hold your Son or Daughter... well, it's one of those most magical things.... one that can only be felt, not written about.

I have had that blessing on 3 occasions......I have J & ME, with My Wife & Dearest Friend B......... but, I also have a Son, Christopher..... from my first marriage.

When C was 10 months old, his Mum left me & the country, all on the same day. I've not seen her since, but I was lucky enough to meet C, for a couple of hours, in 2006. I missed his complete childhood, right up to when I saw him, when he was 21. But, never mind - his Mum had found something else & I was surplus to requirements !!

I have forgiven her, for leaving me..... but, I will never forget !! Especially as she never gave me the chance to say "goodbye" to my Son..... or the fact that, despite being registered with my name, on his birth certificate, when I saw him - he didn't know anything about
it !! So - she took my Son from me - then took my name, from him !! Life goes on......

I have just had a phone call, from a guy in Church......... he didn't like it, when I explained that The Bishop knew exactly what was going on & we were not at Church, because we needed time to sort ourselves out... with everything that is/has happened, with the hospital !!

As I type, B is down, in the village, at a meeting & J & the birthday girl are upstairs.......

The music of the moment is The Grateful Dead's 'Truckin' Up To Buffalo' Cd - I just love the track 'I Will Take You Home'. One of those all time favourites, one of many I seem to have !!

Talking of the hospital - I'm back into Taunton, tomorrow afternoon... to see the second Consultant, who I hope might give the "thumbs up" & give the go ahead, to the next Surgery !! I'm not sure exactly what he is going to say - but, for me..... well, a lot is riding on this & I really want to know if it's going to happen or not !!

But - if he says "No" - there is always Plan B...... there is always a Plan B !! Tho' at the moment - I don't really know exactly what it's going to be !! I do know I'm getting to my lowest & despite knowing that I have things that people can only dream of, I am starting to feel it now.......

I must away...... I thank you all for logging in & taking the time to read my words, I really do thank you for your time.... until next time..

Bye Bye
