Gratitude

Dear all

Despite the misery here at present I am really grateful to all whom I have been in contact with this week.  Margaret, thanks for the lovely coffee's out and about in town and for coming to the hospital with me yesterday. Miriam, my beautiful daughter for producing another joy for us all to behold and watch growing up ( Isla Elizabeth).  To Joseph and Gracie for always bringing joy to my life and making Grandma laugh out loud. James without you I would have none of this.  Eternally grateful.
 To my wonderful sister-in-law, Frany for the listening ear and the wise words.  Thanks Fran.  To Colette, my favourite niece for her openess and honesty and her two beautiful girls Freyja and Fleur.  Of course without Paul they both would not have been here so thanks for that Paul and Happy 40th in 2012. Last but not least to my husband for putting up with all the problems that have arisen and dealing with them honestly.

All my other friends, thanks for the support, especially Pat, Toni, Sylvia Fiona, Liz, Ella,Kathleen, Fay and Lydia.  I love you all.

To my Irish cousins Liz and Tom,Lizzy and Anne-Marie, Mark and Sean (down under)  Love you all very much. 

I really need to write this stuff to keep me in an attitiude of gratitude, for there is such a lot to be grateful for in spite of everything.

Love from me.
