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!!

Lovely news @Elderflower14
Am a serial namechanger but have enjoyed "watching" your lovely boy grow into a fine young man.
Hearing all these lovely tales of families getting together finally is heartwarming @EileenGC, you have a lovely time too. We've put off (again) our visit home, but hopefully in the NY. Xmas Smile

There have (for a change Grin) been a lot of lovely threads on Mumsnet today. I have a very cheery picture in my head of your DS travelling towards home with Percy Pig tucked under his arm.

Hope you have a lovely Christmas.
