Today is Wednesday 14th October. As I write this Sue should be somewhere over the middle of Australia. Hannah Nick and the girls are gearing up to follow her.
Meanwhile back in Norwich, Maybelle seems to be very frail. It is just so sad seeing her so weak, but she has fought so long, to keep going, it is time for her to rest for us to say our farewells to her. She has no quality of life. Her situation is exactly what she had so hoped to avoid.
So this is a time for saying goodbye and preparing to say goodbye.
On Monday however we had a party at home, here, for the wonderful staff and Trustees of the Families House. This was by way of a thank you to those who had managed to keep the place going through some very difficult times and to say hullo to the new staff and to Marian who has joined us a Trustee. I felt that it was a happy event and for the FH the future is bright.
Anne Roberts told me that one of the Crossroads funders is increasing their annual donation from £100,000 to £400,000. So once again we prepare ourselves for loss, but there are good news stories which help us look to the future.
Nick has a future as a poet, Gary is better, apart from facing a sad couple of weeks with Maybelle now is good.
