Crying Quietly

 I had some really sad news yesterday.  My best friend's sister, whom I've known for many years, lost her eldest son on Saturday.  He was in hospital and must have been known to be seriously ill because they arranged the wedding to his fiancee last Friday at the hospital.  He passed away the next day.  My friend is too upset to tell me any more details and I'm upset because Matthew was at the same school as my own children.  He's just a little older than my daughter.  His mum is just recovering from an operation herself, and having radiotherapy.  Once gain, I can't believe how cruel life can be.  It has knocked me for six so I will be taking a break from blogging.  I'll still be reading and commenting but not posting until I feel stronger.

Take care of yourself and enjoy Christmas just as you like it my bloggy friends.  You've earned it.

Big hugs,

Angie
