Am having a bit of a sad weekend and it just feels so far from home. .
Heard yesterday my Gran died. She was 90 and went peacefully having been very unwell with senile dementia for a few years.
Have also just spoken with a friend who has been at the children's hospital all day with one of the mum's from school whose 12 year old son is clinically brain dead. They are waiting for the surgeon to arrive for organ transplants. They are also English with no family here. I don't know what to say to them. It really is a shit long way from home.
I wish I could transport myself back for her funeral but can't. The logistics are to hard with 2 young boys.
Anyway, just wanted to tell somebody really. All in all a very sad holiday weekend.
