2020 is, I have to be honest, with no holidays, weekends with Marc and Rick or special occasions to mark the passing of the weeks/months/seasons, it’s all a bit of a blur.
In some ways it feels like only yesterday that I was here looking forward to a packed year of wonderful adventures, but then on the other hand some days/weeks/months seemed endless with not a lot seemed to happen, even Eurovision was cancelled!
2020 and this retched, retched virus robbed me of 3 months with this pair, we stuck to the rules as a family without falter, despite aching hearts, in order to protect them, as well as family, friends and strangers, like many millions of other families all over the world.
They are days that none of us can ever get back.
Watching Bertie’s fourth birthday tea through the kitchen window, when only a couple of days before we’d been walking home hand in hand from nursery, talking non-stop and then after an hour or so doing the same again to collect Iris from school ……. sharing cuddles and snuggles and so many hugs and kisses, oblivious of what was about to happen.
Thank goodness they took it all in their stride and we did it! We are among the very lucky ones, we didn’t lose anyone, no one got sick, jobs were safe and in the summer we were able to form a bubble so, no matter what happened, especially towards the end of the year, we could be safely together again and continue making memories, lets just hope that the Covid vaccination program will soon be winging its way quickly to a surgery near all of us soon.....
……… and that we and everyone we hold dear will continue to stay safe and our lives gradually return to normal, though I doubt they’ll ever be quite the same again, so that adventures can begin with more wonderful memories to be made.
