Sadly today brought the news that my Aunty Margaret in Newcastle had suffered a stroke last night and passed away this morning after a massive heart attack. She had been a bit of a creaking gate for some years with chest problems, but nobody expected this to happen. Not now. Not so close to Christmas. Not so close to Sylvia's anniversary. My Uncle Malcolm will be lost, and their children Darren and Caroline devastated.
We will be making the journey north again next week sometime for the funeral. It's Micky's 21st birthday on 18th (the 1st anniversary of Sylvia) and we were hoping to go up there to spend the day with him and Les but I guess it will all depend when the funeral is going to be.
The 19th is Eileen's court case, so it's going to be a hell of a week.
I was so looking forward to having a peaceful Christmas this year, but it ain't looking like happening.
Sorry to hear your news Pauline. Hugs from across the water from me.
ReplyDeleteIt snowed here yesterday and today and we are now a white winter wonderland but it's English snow, slushy and slippery, not the good stuff.
Am so sorry Pauline. My sincere condolences. My thoughts are with you during these next few weeks xx
