In a mere moment…

Posted by Cheryl on Dec 12 2006 | The Kitchen Sink

Well, one way to put into proper perspective the craziness that commonly surrounds the run up to Christmas is to get an unexpected phone call…

My mum rang today, ‘Your dad is having by-pass surgery on Thursday.’
Hmmmm…..and here I am with an ocean between us.
But not for long. Cashed in a frequent-flyer-trans-Atlantic-ticket with lightning speed, in a mere moment.

Who says miracles don’t happen?

So, I’m setting aside the Christmas rush for a bit to spend time with family.
And if I don’t ’see’ you before the Christmas holidays, may the joy of this season be yours…

    Cheryl, will be thinking of you and your family. Cathal’s mam has been in and out of hospital for years now and her catchphrase is ” a creaking door lasts the longest”.
