Every
year at Christmas for over 20 years we've done a newsletter, ostensibly
to keep folk up with the play on what the family has been up to. This
began as a bit of a novelty, but with the cost of postage, and the
number of people who got to 'expect' the newsletter growing every year,
its now replaced the Christmas Card as our main method of information.
Every year has been different, and its been exciting, not to mention a
bit nostalgic, to look over old newsletters and see what trivia and
travels we've bored you with over the years, but also the journey our
children (now all well and truly grown up!) have taken and how the
grandchildren are now our focus.
Some years are better than
others, and this year has been particularly challenging, for reasons you
are all well aware of. But through all the pain and the heartache and
joy (yes, there have been times of joy) I am humbled, and very blessed
to have had the unstinting support and love of Fay, family and a wide
circle of friends who have stood by me and shown the real meaning of
'walking in my shoes'
.So thanks to you all, and may you know the
peace of God in your lives as you look forward to a great Christmas with
your families, and to a 2013 full of promise and opportunity.
Life is precious -don't waste a day of it!
