Sorry to hear that MIL has left a big hole in your life, we can never estimate how we will feel when someone has gone, my own MIL and I were never really close but I was quite surprised one day to find myself in tears over some thing she had given me and seemed somewhat a small gesture at the time.
Good to hear Mr GAG is moving forward albeit it still small steps, but forwards is always good, keep your expectations low still as I found Mr Rabbits progress on this front to be slow and also one step back for every three forward, and I found this frustrating even though Mr Rabbit's return to normality was a little speedier than Mr GAG, hang in there kiddo!
Some thing always to spur all you ladies on, Mr Rabbit who has always been low key on the romance front and never really celebrated a wedding anniversary with nothing more than a card and maybe dinner out, oh and occasionally flowers! Well he has excelled himself this year of our 25th wedding anniversary, the short version is theatre, steam train rides with dinner, three days in Vienna to see the Spanish Riding school perform and dinner on the Danube for our anniversary, all organised to within an inch of his life bless him.. I really felt some what deflated about his sneaky return home and the lack of the second honeymoon everyone promised/suggested would happen but yippee he has excelled himself and pulled the Rabbit out the hat! Only two weeks to go and I will report in full on the Alt for those that wish to catch up!
Good to see some of you others over there so to speak, will keep popping in to see how you all are, take care xx
