A Scottish Rose

Anyone who knows me, knows I have been absent for some time. I will be back to normal as soon as I can, but I am feeling so sad at the moment and have lost my craft Mojo as very recently and suddenly I lost my mum to heart failure. I used to live with my mum so I have taken it quite hard and have not managed to bounce back yet. I will as soon as I am able be haunting all your lovely blogs again. I have missed everyone so much. So bear with me.  I have included this poem that my sister in law wrote for my mum's remembrance I think it is so beautiful and describes my mum to a tee.

Kindness

I have found through my life that people are so kind not just people I class as friends and family but also can refer to complete strangers. My partner and I were walking our cute susie dog through the caravan park when this lovely man calls out from his van, asking us to just come over to where he was for a minute. When we reached him he gave us this lovely book and told us it was from his wife who had scene us every day walking our little dog. His wife was sleeping but she had left instructions with her husband that if he was to see us that he was to give us the book, The book is so sad it is all about a lady and her son trying to cope with life after her husband dies and leaves her a widow to bring up their son alone. To help with this she buys a dog a king charles spaniel. The story is how she learns to cope and love life again. What a lovely book and what a love couple.

A+E late at night

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have been waiting for an operation on my knee. Well I have had it. I thought all was going well and left my ward for home, Once at home 2 hours later I was back in my local hospitol in A+E waiting to see a surgeon, as my leg would not stop bleeding, but he just patched me up again gave me pain killers and a set on crutches. Have you ever tried to use crutches when you have almost no co-ordination, let me tell you it is not easy. Anyway I am getting used to them now, but if you see me you would laugh I am such a sight.
