Same Old

You would think that after fifty-eight days I might have shaken off this cold/flu bug but again today I feel under the weather.
It’s cold, wet and miserable with a biting wind and that seems to have been our lot for months.

It’s the beginning of an exciting week, we get to see Samantha for a weekend and Joshua’s Graduation Parade. I don’t have the words to adequately explain how his Mum and I feel; five months ago Joshua was excited but apprehensive and in the intervening months we have had our highs and lows but this week he graduates from Junior Soldier to Sapper.

I’m determined to shrug off the sniffles and enjoy his moment in the sun.
