Yes all is fine here thanks, hes not too bad and managed to get the plaster boarding in the boys room finished. well not quite, but theres no roof showing anymore its all insulated now, its made the whole house much warmer and upstairs feels really warm, it was only about 9 degrees in there, now its 16-17 so the boys are happy.
Bit of a strange day today, its the 4th anniversary if my step sons suicide. To cut a long story short, he and his sister had a troubled upbringing with an alcoholic mother, they came to us for holidays but couldnt live here as there wasnt the room, plus they said they didnt want to, they lived n Stornoway (an Island sort of just opposite us on the map) they were all at school there and had their friends and extended family in their mothers side. But JR was the youngest and passed from pillar to post in his early teens then his gran died which I think was the last straw for him. His mum was in and out of jail and he came over here on holiday and shot himself the day before he was due to go home.
Dh doesnt really talk about it, he doesnt visit the grave etc, only to tidy it before his 2 daughters visit it now and then. Hes of the mind set that he didnt want to be on earth so he dealt with it and now hes where he wanted to be. and theres no point mulling and crying over it, we've done that now move on. Very black and white way of looking at it. But hes had a lot of death round him since he was young, his parents were older , just very much a part of life kind of thing.
So he hasnt mentioned it so neither will I, will light a candle for him tonight though and hope hes looking after his little sister who's up there with him.
Its been a gorgeous day here -2 on the way into town though to get our hair cut. I just got a trim, but I got about 4 inches off Emmas, it was far too long, its still long enough to tie up for school but short enough I can comb it in the bath(checking for unwanted creatures lol). So its just at her shoulders now.
Thats all from me for now looking forward to steak for dinner tonight =)
Have a good weekend all xx
Love to you Laura xx
