My lovely boy is on his way home for Christmas!

It's been a stressful two months but he's on his way... He's deaf and autistic and had to do Christmas Day on his own last year... It was beyond awful.We had no way of getting him home and we wanted to protect my elderly mother so he stayed in his flat and my friend delivered his dinner.
He's been convinced since November that he won't get back for Christmas and every time Boris has spoken he's got very anxious... (Particularly the two this week!)
Anyway he's on his way with his suitcase, presents and a giant sized Chef Percy Pig!! 🙊 🙊 🙊 🙊
My friends husband is taking me to the station to collect him and we can't wait to see each other!!

Such lovely news Grin

caringcarer · 17/12/2021 12:55

That's great news. I bet he can't wait to get home. My adult dd and dgc came for a fake Xmas with me last weekend as was worried there might be another travel ban like last year. So we had a rehearsal.🤣

PhoboPhobia · 17/12/2021 12:56

Ah this is great! I hope you have a fab Christmas with your boy. It must have been so hard last year.

steppemum · 17/12/2021 12:58

Oh that's lovely!

we are planning to all be at my brothers. My teen dd and my teen neice have both had a horrendous 2 years mental health wise, and we are desperate to just be together as a family.

Wish we could have Christmas this weekend!

He was so brave last year.. I never ever want to go through that Saturday afternoon ever again when BJ made the announcement... He was so distressed... My friend took him to hers for the night...
I got a colleague to cover me at work the next day and Mum and I spent the morning wrapping his presents.. My lovely Mrs NDN took them to work and DHLed them to him!!

Theremoresefulday · 17/12/2021 13:17

Mine didn’t get home last year. And he won’t be home this year either.

I’m so pleased that your boy is getting home op.

Hoppinggreen · 17/12/2021 13:18

I think I might know who your Boy is ( in a non creepy way) and if I’m right he really IS lovely and I’m glad you are both going to have a wonderful xmas together

Hoppinggreen · 17/12/2021 13:18

And even if I’m wrong it’s lovely news anyway x

JuneOsborne · 17/12/2021 13:19

Some cheery news.

Hope you have a splendid time together.

Elderflower14 · 17/12/2021 13:53

He's now on the last train home... We've had major issues with a certain train company and I've had to really come down hard on them to get ds2 the disabled assistance he requires!
Its obviously worked as today they've sent a manager from the main London station down to the next station to personally put ds2 on the train.. I think I can safely say JOB DONE... MUMMA BEAR DONE GOOD!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
