Pure and Simple, Gonna Be There...

I love my kids, you know that, and both of them are quite far away, but this weekend has brought us all closer together.

Boy was playing Volley last night in Mount Olive NC. It was a big match, and several of his team mates friends were travelling to watch the match. How we would love to go, but keeping him there is our objective, not us travelling the world.

How delighted then, was I to catch sight of this....

Beautifully Zoomed in on by Boy's S who was commentating on the game, was Reeda from Ohio.

I had seen her earlier on the playback - she has just become a grandmother, and I spotted the baby bundle being attended to; but how surprised was I when she leaned over, picked up the poster, held it up to the camera and waved!

I honestly felt like I was there -its' probably the closest we'll get to a match and it was a lovely, lovely gesture that made me well up.

Thank you so Much Reeda.

And then my day was made even more perfect, by waking up to a lovely day - and a drive to Edinburgh to let Gran and Nant see her in her accommodation in situ. The drive home wasn't so nice, in torrential rain, but we made it safe and sound and now I'm snuggled up on the couch - whilst himself is under canvas in a field which yesterday was foot deep in snow, but I think is possibly a foot deep in water.

I'm exhausted but happy.

Thank you everyone for making me life so good :-)
