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!!

Wilf, you are making me feel all Christmassy.

Which is in itself a miracle 😃

My heart is smiling.☺️

Fab photos of Wilf and the Christmas tree. They remind me of when Wilf was in The Snowman. Thanks so much for sharing Elderflower!

Best thread ever. What a treat just to have a bit of lovely leading up to Christmas. 🙂

Is that your old Bumble in the background elderflower? Only asking because I have one of a wistful Sheldog on my wall. Gone but never forgotten. 🐾 🐾

Hope Wilf is still buzzing after Strictly 💃💃😊

santabetterwashhishands · 19/12/2021 15:51

Lovely 🥰
My sons autistic but still lives at home and I can't imagine Christmas without him and his quirks

IloveJudgeJudy · 19/12/2021 16:06

What a wonderful thread/story. So happy for you and Wilf.

Not Bumbledog.....Flash my lurcher from thirty years ago.. He lived outside in the shed. Dad bought him for me from the gypsies... If he was locked in the shed he used to stand on his back legs and try and undo the latch.. He used to follow me when I cycled to the bus stop for school if I wasn't careful... He was a very special boy... 💙 💙 💙

My apologies elderflower

They steal little bits of your heart eh?

He sounds as though he was trying to be resourceful when he felt the need!

Our childhood dog would have loved
her own shed. I think she would have done a little slink away for some peace. 😳

Lovely 🥰

Juliahypocrite · 19/12/2021 19:57

Lovely Wilf, merry Christmas to you both.

It's been a long day... We went to the Baptist Chapel tonight and Wilf signed the Carols....

I remember both of you from years ago. So delighted to see you together for Christmas 😍

GrazingSheep · 19/12/2021 23:06

Am happy Wilf is home for Christmas but why are you posting all these photos of him? The Percy Pig post clearly identifies him. Do you not have safeguarding concerns?

SantaClausIsAtTheDoorMum · 19/12/2021 23:31

What a lovely post and happy update! Hope you all have a wonderful Xmas!
