Still Laughing

.... after all that has happened recently. Moy and I were climbing partners in college then went our separate ways occasionally coming together in the Lakes where she lived with her family. A few years ago disaster struck, Moy fell whilst skiing and hit her head. The resulting stroke has left her very handicapped but what positivity she exudes. She has to do everything with her left hand and she is right handed, has had to learn to walk, and talk, again. Now she has discovered her inner artistic talents. It was a joy to spend time with her and her devoted husband this morning. I wish that we lived closer to each other, Moy is an inspiration, fully embracing her life as it is now. Thank you Moy and Pete.

The late afternoon has been spent with a very lively branch of my first husband's family: lots of children, my nieces and their Mum who, again, I hardly ever see. A wonderful meal whilst learning about their lives again. Families are so spread out these days, thank goodness for Facebook despite its bad press sometimes.
