Happy......

...flowers especially needed for today. SweetArt has gone from here and onto Dubai to visit Geraldine and her sister GadgetKid before finally going HOME to Hong Kong. She'll get a huge welcome from them! I shall miss her BIG time...We left for the airport at 5.30 am in a very comfortable 7 seater vehicle and were driven through a London still waking up.

So ...things to be thankful for today..
    .. .BIG life journeys shared 
    ...tears that can be shed and understood
    ...the comfort of real and virtual hugs
    ...au revoirs not goodbyes
    ....coffee and croissants, curry and red velvet cake
    ....balloons!
    ....the beauty of the dawn and a new day
    ....the gift of love and of friendship
    ....smiles and laughter
    ....support and encouragement
    ....phone calls
    ....memories made and cherished
   .....and SO much more....

Having watched Sandy go through to the Departure Lounge and as I just sat before leaving the airport, I spoke to a lady who came to sit next to me. She was flying out to Ghana for her wedding on Saturday..how beautiful! She and her husband had had their 'white' wedding last month and he had gone out to Ghana ahead of her to prepare for their Ghanaian wedding....he had proposed to her after 13 years of knowing each other and being together.  She was so happy! I said I would remember them on Saturday and pray for them. 

And Martin phoned and we had a lovely chat, and he said what a fantastic wife he had and how he was looking forward to her coming home....wonderful!

So school waited today.....it was still there this afternoon. And D is out this evening and I've done very little really. An early night I think....
