Is it really a week since I was doing this before? The days are flying by and I grow older each day, wish someone would invent a clock to go back just a little for me.
Such a sad world at the moment with all this trouble in the Ukraine. It's heartbreaking to see those women and children fleeing their country, their homes and leaving loved ones behind to fight. The thought of leaving my husband or son behind to fight brings me to tears. Friends too. Just so hard and what a harduous journey they face themselves ... and to what end?
So much sadness in the world, our hearts go out to our own Juilia lost her dear Mama, and I heard yesterday that our closest friend in America had had to make the decision to turn off his mother's life support (her wishes). So very sad. My condolences to them both. I haven't mentioned before that someone I knew years ago fell on the first day of her holiday and hurt her leg. She saw a doctor (in Dom Repub) who said nothing broken ... to rest and take paracetamol. A week later she was admitted to hospital, transferred to ICU where she had two heart attacks and died. Her husband had to travel home alone facing his 70th birthday and his eldest daughter's 40th just a week or so later. As I said, so sad for so many.
Sorry for all of that, on a better note, or an attempt to brighten you up, here is one of my Polaroids where I used the colours of the Ukraine flag as my backdrop. That and a couple of donations is all I can think of doing at the moment. It should be a grandad cooking but I changed the head.
