I really appreciated my girls and Colin's sister for visiting this weekend. I was working and felt that with his visitors mounting that maybe i should stand back-
but the guilt, really it wasn't worth it.
It's not really guilt as such. Colin and I have been together for 30 years. It's our journey not just his. I want to be with him every step. Yes we were separated by work, commitments etc, but he is the first person I would ring if i thought of something funny, silly or worrying. He would talk over my anxieties that work is causing at this time. He would fix things, not DIY as anyone that knows him will tell you, but his family. No, today I will be ther. He has always been there for me.

Your a fixer Charlotte..and you can't fix this..When up against it no-one bats harder for their family than you.To be able to continue to be the strong one you need to take a day or so to lick your wounds and get a rest so that you can continue to keep it all together.It's only natural to feel torn when you take a day off,but, by God you needed it.On the reading front..I was thinking my own novel..Rags To Riches Back To Rags Again!More of an inspirational story:-)It's more about who i'd like to murder mysteriously! xx
