It was an interesting wedding venue and the bride and groom stayed in a tree house for their first night which was near the huge marquee and tea-lit woods. Very unusual.
My dad was mentioned but only in passing and so I didn't have to listen to people not being able to express themselves. I have a very simple view of these things and that's brought about through my own experience - of course. Spoke to mum today and things seem OK, dad's recovering from this awful bug he picked up at the hospital but other than that he is fine and beginning to eat again properly. He was being cheeky so definitely on the mend!
I heard one bit of advice about "being there" as often as possible but I'm not sure that is possible for me as such - it's difficult and we are having to make arrangements to be there. I know I should try and I'm stuck here wondering what I should and should not be doing. Perhaps dad will give me his own message when I'm there in a few weeks time. In a way that's the difficult part for me, I work all week, I haven't paid myself in over a year and I need to get things happening for my own family and myself so using up my spare time - of which I have very little is going to be difficult. I'll just have to work out what I can and cannot do in the time available to me. Sound callous but somewhere along the line I need to be realistic. I'd dearly love to be 30 or 40 minutes drive from them so I could see them at weekends and once or twice a week but I'd need to invest 5 or 6 hours to do a trip and that really slows down and limits my available options.
