Fellow soldier's Mum's moral has dipped too - is it the time of year? Is it the length of the tour so far? Is it the weather? Each passing day with no news is wonderful, but that little voice in the back of your mind always pops up and says "Can it carry on like this? Will it really be alright in the end?". Please Lord it can and will be so.
Good news and it looks as if the snow really is melting. Milder weather blowing in so should be able to attempt second re-entry next week. About time too. Solitude and contemplation are not good bedfellows for anxiety and fear and they have the effect of bringing the worst out in each other. Too much time to dwell and not enough duties to fulfil makes jack a dull lad, to mix the metaphor, and am really looking forward to being in the thick of it with plenty of mental stimulation and lots to do. Been doing my physio but there are only so many times you can walk up and down the sitting room floor so consequently not been using my ankle for much weight bearing, hope it behaves itself when called to do so. All will be fine this time dv. Positive mental attitude.
Those poor Haitians. Absolutely dreadful damage and loss of life. Will make a donation to Oxfam, won't be as much as I'd like because I'm officially one of the poor of this nation, which means I am blessed with wealth on an unimaginable scale compared to those poor islanders. If everyone gives something then we'll make a difference.
H possibly a ski champion, or possibly not. Still don't understand how on earth he blagged his way into that, just hope he survives intact. R's friend collected bag of emergency clothing for weekend of fun. And I'm going to colour my hair ready for going back to work on Monday. Hurrah.
Saw the funeral on the News of the young Rifleman from Kent and his family looked utterly bewildered, he was just eighteen. No news from C so yet more prayers for his guardianship, and that of his comrades.
Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
