The brightest house in the neighbourhood

I simultaneously think it’s a bit bonkers, and nice and cheery. Christmas continues with is horrible way of bringing sadness.  A friend’s  mum died today, and in the extended family one grandmother  is on the end of life pathway, and a man in my cohort of the family is dangerously ill in hospital.  All subsequent mums dying bring me right back to 11 years ago when my mum was dying.  Brings it all right back. Sorry to be gloomy, but I do see this as a journal where I record what’s happening in my life.
