- Christmas is supposed to be a happy time, but it can evoke sad memories, it brings thoughts of the love ones that we have lost.It must be so difficult for those who are griving, especiay parents who have lost their children. I can’t help thinking about my friend Debbie Sharpe, she woud buy everyone at work a presant even though she could ill afford to do so. My late mother in law also loved xmas I found it amusing that she liked xmas day to be overcast, dull and gloomy she didn’t like the sun shinning. my mother in law loved xmas and always made it special for her family. Its three years since Robert walked out. Both my in laws played a big part in my life,my father in law diedy almost thirty years ago. It was an honour to have known him and to be with him as he took his last breath I was able to say goodbye to the man who had played such a big part in my life. I met my father in law at a wedding at the Briars he had bitten into a chillie tomatoe paste sandwich I ran off to get him a glass of water instead I came back with a castle beer. He could bearly stand up by the time the wedding had ended his wife must have driven him home. I got most of my babysitting and cleaning jobs through him. I can clearly remember him giving me a blood transfusion when Hayley was born, three years later I was to become his daughter inlaw . I aften wonder what he would think of the presant situation? and the nasty spiteful thoughts that Robert’s older sister had harboured for thirty seven years. I wasn’t at all surprise that she said that our marriage wasn’t a proper marriage I was sad that she had said such nasty , spiteful thoughts at such an unhappy time in my life. I took my wedding vows seriously and didn’t break any of them. Happinness means everything and as long as Robert is happy in his new life and I am contented in mine I suppose that is how it was ment to be. I have finally come to except it at last and I am happy to be free from people that are disrespectful to me.
