Hi Son, didn't manage to walk with the parade again this year that is the second year I have not managed the walk Arlene took me in the car and dropped me off at the Cenotaph and Christian picked me up after the service, it was really busy this year which is good to see but it is also heartbreaking all the new faces who probably either have someone in Afghanistan or have lost someone there, or maybe just that people are beginning to understand the importance of the day. Was speaking to Linda the other day she was telling me that matthews wife is having a baby so tell Christian congratulations on him going to be an uncle, I am so happy for Linda maybe now she will have something to bring a little light back to her life,it is just a pity they live so far away and she won't get to see the baby as often as I know she would like, but then there could be a positive side to that at least she won't be a permanent babysitter like me,lol. only joking I would be lost without them, but somedays a little peace would be nice. As you probably know wee Robert hurt his foot and the hospital gave him cruthches but he couldn't master them so for a week he was like a one legged kangaroo bounding about the house, lol. Anyway son not much more news, oh managed to get solar christmas tree lights so your tree will have lights this year, you always loved it when the tree went up and the lights were switched on, I still remember your little face lighting up and your eyes wide with exitment, god what I would give to see that again, I miss you so much son, somedays life is just too hard, I just wish you were here with us but instead I will put the tree at your grave again this year and will have to imagine the look on your face when the lights go on. Goodnight Baby, loads of love and hugs Mum xxxxx
