My family has always supported me no matter what. They’ve always been there to help me when I’m well and when I’m ill.
The past week has given me an opportunity to see many members of my family on both Thursday and Sunday.
On Thursday many members of my family attended the Monte San Martino trust which was set up to thank those who helped the P.O.Ws who escaped camps and travel down Italy.
I first started attending these lunches before my ataxia took hold but life with a blue badge makes it easier enabling us to park outside the venue. Every cloud has a silver lining and this one also had a rainbow as I got to see cousins I rarely see and have a catch up.
I’ve talked before about how much I love my niece and nephew and this weekend we had our first family Christmas with my aunt, cousin, his wife and child.
It may be early for a Christmas party but it’s ideal for me as a get tired so easily so spreading it out works well.
Being off balance meant a bit of “dosy doeing” before sitting down and trying not to tread on toddlers but all in all it was a lovely few days being with family members who have supported me through everything and continue to do so.
How Rare?
