River Walk

After a couple of weeks away from Blip - I have come back.

It has been a whirlwind few weeks but I have found Blipping to be cathartic in the past, and having a diary and photo memory has been important to help me document and remember what goes on.  The photos are great triggers and although I am a 'happy snapper' combined with the narrative, form a good online diary.

Anyone who reads regularly (although I can't think why anyone would?) will know that I am very close with No.1 - more best friend than daughter.  A couple of weeks ago a medical situation which has been stable and she has lived with for around 12 years, had suddenly changed and needed emergency surgery.  I am going to work back to fill in the gaps - but just over a week later following brain surgery she is looking great and we enjoyed a long river walk today.  However it might have been a bit too much as she did feel very tired in the afternoon and a bit 'down', I think the realisation of everything going on may have finally hit her.  However after tears and a hug and a distraction of my brother S visiting for dinner, plus pictures of Malcolm, she got through the rest of the day.
