My dad found this picture of Mike from1997, when we were on holiday in Glandore, Ireland . I was with my parents and partner and Mike lived nearby with his partner and daughter, Yola who was 2 .
Our parents had been friends since he and I were 5. Mike and I had always stayed friends . It was such a happy meet up, he showed us his farm and life. It all looked great in the summer sunshine ! Little did we know we would end up married to each other 11 yrs later ! It was the right decision ( well so far )! He’s the best .
Last day with Ma n Pa. He’s made a good recovery , and I think doing as well he’s going to, not driving but back pottering in garden and playing bridge a few days a week. Tires easily but that’s to be expected after the sepsis. Mum up and down . I wish I had a magic wand .
Journey back home to Ireland was very slick. Wet and gloomy outside but warm and cosy in the car with Mike and the dog. Bit too much enthusiasm from a very licky Jack Russell !! It is good to be back home with them .
