During the last bit of excitement I knew I had to keep a tight rein on emotions and worried how I would cope with transmitting updates to a large caring family scattered far and wide. We arranged that one of our sons would phone me in the evening and then email the rest of the family with the latest. This was a great help and worked well.
Now he has gone to Florida for a holiday with his wife. I've just received these photos. This is him just finishing a 5K race in aid of prostate cancer. Although it was 7.30 in the morning he said it was ridiculously hot.
The photo below is now on my desk top. I think it is Indian Rock Beach.

Congratulations to your son for completing the 5k! Such a good cause too.
The picture of Indian Rock is just lovely. I could look at it for hours!
CC: thank you. I'll be over to see you soon:)
Take your time, am sure you have a lot on your plate.
I just finished making a cake for someone who's ordered it. I was actually thinking about you and wishing I could send it to you instead :-)
It's dark chocolate with Cointreau, cocoa whipped cream and ganache!
Lovely photo. Just like Bacup.
CC: I know:) I've just been salivating.
Kevin: and Stacksteads don't you think?
Kudos to your son for the race and money raising :)
Great idea about the updates ! I think that worked the best...
The Picture of Indian Rock Beach is absolutely lovely.
Congratulations to your son !
cheers, parsnip
Hurrah for your lovely son.
I know what it's like to get overwhelmed. (I'm only now checking in after a hiatus.)
I hope all is well with you and yours, dear. I'm sorry I missed the prayer request earlier.
Cheers.
Congrats to your boy. The sunset photo is fantastic!!
Kim: :)
Parsnip: thank you. He'll be pleased.
Queenie: other people's emotion gets to you and he coped brilliantly.
Randall: hope all is settling down. I had a prayer you left earlier;)
Judy: I'm full of admiration at how you kept everything going when Mr Kenju was ill.
Glad to hear that you're back with us. Do take care and why not imagine that you're lazing around on that beach with cocktails?
What a marvellous, and fit (7.30am! ridiculous heat! 5k!), son you have.
Lovely beach photo, not surprised you've put it on your desktop.
Do hope things are easing up a bit for you, X
Madame D: good idea;)
Eryl: I do hope he reads that:)
xxx :¬)
Peace of mind, priceless. I may develop a dish in your honour, but first I must gather only the purest of ingredients to capture the essence of the lady herself.
Warden dear I'm pure as the driven snow - in Rawtenstall alas:)
Belated good wishes for your return home and lots of positive vibes for the patient's recovery. I'm sure he'll get better quickly under your care but I hope you get time to rest and relax sometimes if you're doing the work of several nurses singlehanded. xxxx
Sandy: thank you. My biggest problem is getting him to eat and listen to the doctor explain to me exactly what I have already been explaining to the patient - endlessly. I think I've got a ring appearing above my head.
Are there grumpy saints? I could do with some of your equability:)
So glad he could complete that. So glad too that he could help when it was so needed.
What a BEAUTIFUL Picture that is....And Congrats to your son on doing that 5k....
Hope all is moving in the right direction Pat....I send BIG hugs to you both. And all good Healing Thoughts, too.....!
Maggie: yes he's a good boy - even if he is in his fifties:)
Naomi: it's up two steps - down whatever. I'm dredging up patience from goodness knows where. At least I got a nice surprise today in that the chemist will deliver the 60 containers of high protein drink. My back and I are so grateful:)
