Simple things

Today has been a bit of a strange day.  I wont go into detail but a friend had a very sad incident.  It was one of those things she couldn't of stopped.  I hate it when sad things happen to lovely people.

The other thing was a conversation with Teri.  She's working with the young carers forum to create a Young Carers day.   She was telling me some of the ideas the young carers came up with.  Some wanted to meet the local football team (gawd knows why!!!!)  Some others said they wanted yoga and quiet time spaces to relax.   It reminded me how different these kids are.   Kids who care for others think about life differently.  They don't think of having the best of everything or top of the range stuff.   They think of the person they care for and how the rest of the family feel.   So when it comes to having something extra like a day out they want something simple so they can relax.
Both instances show its the small things that matter.  So if you know someone who has a disabled person in their family,  stop and ask them if they're ok and if you can help.  I'll bet you they'll say no but they'll be so happy someone cared enough to ask.

This is why I love her!

Molly suddenly got better yesterday.  She was bouncing about and back to her normal self.  It was lovely to see and a big relief.

Then last night I was very ill.  I'd been struggling for a few days, determined to keep going.  Then last night it hit me with a vengeance.  I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital I was so ill.  Molly sensed I was ill and curled up on me being careful not to hurt me.  Her just being there helped me and made me feel loved.  I don't know how I coped without her.

I'm still feeling rough now but the pain has eased a little.  I'm having an early night with Mol then I'll see how I am tomorrow morning.  One thing I know is if I am awake ill tonight I won't be alone.  Mol will be there for me.

Bye x
