Dear Phil
Well, 2017 – we are both another year older. Time flies by too quickly. My son is now quarter of a century old, and
my daughter lives with her partner and his daughter. She's just told me she's going to Texas for a holiday with her company!
I am separated and live with my son and his
cat, and mother lives in sheltered accommodation. She is going blind, but still as feisty as
ever. Alex will be moving out this year too, so it will just be me and the cat.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to catch up with you –
a proper catch up. I’ve tried to keep
you up to date with important milestones, through this blog, but oh what a lot
we would have to talk about if we met up again.
This has been a one way conversation, and that’s OK, I know
it’s your choice. But I would like to know what you have been doing, your life,
loves, what you enjoy and what you can’t stand. What do you think of the
political situation, or do you even care?
You don’t choose family, you choose friends, but it was nice
when we were younger when we were able to be both.
This is just a short letter, to say I am thinking of you and
wish you well. And here's a recent photo of me in my garden, at my summer party.
