I'm grateful that I have a comfortable home to live in, and that it's high out of the flood risk areas.
I'm grateful that I had Andrew in my life.


18/2/13

I feel sorry for myself tonight - weak and vulnerable because I have a cold, and sad because those particular arms are not here any more to cuddle me, and that particular voice to utter words of caring and support. I'm grateful that I experienced so many years of those arms and those words, so I can recreate them in my mind and feel a little comforted even while I feel sad.

I'm grateful that I have a warm, safe house and a comfortable warm bed, while the rain is belting down relentlessly outside.
