In Life

Funny weekend. One of my sisters phoned on Friday to say Mummy had tests done that returned a tumour. We were all meeting up in Dublin as a sister was coming over from London with her partner. We all met up on Saturday night and had dinner together which was wonderful. We then when to our grandmother’s for breakfast on Sunday before dropping Mummy back to the airport on Sunday.

It will be said to Roisin and her future cousin that the end of the Celtic Tiger was when their grandparents spent 1000euro to fly over for dinner.

On Friday night we went for dinner with friends that had lost a baby at six months. The mother was very upset and emotional. The night was a rollercoaster but it is only since have the implications hit home and have affected my wife, who is 4 months pregnant, quite visibly.
Mummy’s tests are today, results tomorrow and operation Wednesday or Thursday. We don’t know is chemotherapy or radio will be required.
Starting my yacht master theory course tonight.
