Life
Hi Keran
Some years ago I saw a romantic film about two people who in different parts of the world they would look at the same moon and some how this would join them together.
In a similar way your thank you letter joined us, the paper you had used, the ink with which you wrote connected us to you.
Your super snow flake was an extra bonus, so simple but you had made for us and we were well chuffed!
I have had some bad news lately .I have just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and I thought this is so unfair to face this again.
When I told my older brother just before his three month holiday to Thailand, he commiserated with me and said three clichés which I found encouraging. Keep your pecker up!!, put your shoulder to the wheel!! and have faith in those who care for you and love you!!
The film star David Niven wrote a book, “The moons a balloon?”, in which he stated just when life is great and every thing in the garden is lovely and the garden is full of roses, the wind would change and blow in a load of weeds!
Just when our lives was so online, roughly ten years ago, I was diagnosed with a tumour on my pancreas and seriously thought I was going to" shuffle off!”, “peg out!”, "kick the bucket"
I thought about all the things I wanted to do and had not done but it also made me focus on the things you take for granted, the people who care for you and the ones you love and care for.
In whose ten years both my wonderful daughters have married two great caring guys, and we have three, and as that famous northerner !Jim "Bullseye "Bowen" said many times," super smashing great!"" grandchildren and one on its way in the mail!
Who knows, I might run out of fingers to count my grandchildren on!
John Lennon once said "life goes on in between the things you want do."
Peter Johnson says!" life is like a book every so many years a new chapter, the previous chapter guides the next chapter not completely in our control but hopefully driven by ourselves.
This made me think about you and how unfair life can be, but this is a chapter of both our lives but may be not as we would write it.
Perhaps one day in the future, parents will all go to Tescos and chose the type of life for their children! Off the shelves ha! ha! I hope not!
So I would like to end my impersonal message with some clichés.
Keep your pecker up, count your blessings, and most of all have faith in those who love and care for you!
Best wishes peter j
