Dark and light.

My Mum is in Ireland on a coach holiday with her husband who was taken ill and is now in hospital. The coach tour has now left and come home, leaving her alone and running so low on money that she was forced to use a cash machine for the first time in her life.
I was going to go and be with her but her husband (Keith's) daughter is joining them instead which is good. He is very frail and in pain and the doctors don't know when he'll be strong enough to be discharged to travel.
Once again I'm confronted with a view of life and it's delicacy and forced to engage and think, "just bloody well get on with it and appreciate and enjoy the tiny moment we're here, and stop being so introspective. Have fun while you can!"
