Will be a bit of a **** Xmas day for us this year - the mother-in-law's Care Home option is unlikely to be finalised before the New Year now and my other half can't handle the thought of not seeing her mum on Xmas Day - so we will likely be down at the Community Hospital in South Wales to visit her on Xmas day - we'll have our Xmas dinner once we get back home on (Boxing day or the day after) but it will be very sad - my other half has spent every Xmas with her mum and usually the whole family gets together - the old girl was actually cooking the Xmas dinner last year - surreal what has happened since then - she's now paralysed down her right side and will need medical care for the rest of her life.
That's harsh mate. It's gatherings when the nearest and dearest are missed
Have to say it's stories like this and own experiences that make me suck it up and join in with family gatherings and make an effort. You just never know who won't be around for the next one
Don't get me wrong I always regret them too, after, because inevitably some **** kicks off. But am there the year after with those lost in mind
Families hey? Can't live with em can't live without em
