Here are two Very Important People in my life. Each at opposite ends of my Rainbow.
My Youngest Grandchild My Emily. This past fortnight has taught me never to take for granted the health of my family and friends. This beautiful little girl came so close to becoming an Angel it is still heart wrenching to think about. We are all amazed at her astoundingly quick recovery. In my work as a doctor's receptionist, I see many families with multiple health problems. I have always counted my blessings. With each grandchild that has arrived safely, I worry a little bit more that the odd's on something going wrong health wise are getting shorter. I now have nine grandchildren. The odd's got very short on Thursday March 4th but thankfully as you can see, from this photo taken yesterday, all bets are off and we have a very pretty winner.
All of my grandchildren are so important to me and Emily's illness has taught me a lesson on a couple of levels. To treasure every moment, to thank God for the health and well being of my family and to take care of myself so I can have many active years to enjoy my grandchildren and maybe some future great grandchildren;o)...LoL
At the other end of my Rainbow is my Very Best Friend Trish. My friend, counsellor, personal shopper, soulmate and craft buddy. I needed her hugs this weekend, it was one of the things that kept me going as I was being strong for my daughter and my family. I knew I could collapse into Trish's arms and show my weakness in a very safe haven. We have been friends for many years and could write a couple of books between us abut our life experiences and what we have seen each other through. This weekend we have laughed a lot, cried in Starbucks.... We have talked and shopped a lot, we have counselled each other, we have hugged and tugged each other. Every woman should have a Very Important Person in their life called Trish. I will Never Ever take her freindship for granted
