Shattered

Well today me and the boys have been to Covent Garden. My parents and brother came too. Phew it was hard work. My parents are elderly and I hadn't realised that they walk so slow:o)
My brother is 41 but is unable to live on his own. When he was a baby he was affected by the whooping cough jab and has various things wrong with him. He's not disabled as such but obviously still has to live at home. I don't see him very much, especially on days out but he so enjoyed today and it's then that I realise inside he's not 41. He was so excited by the train ride, bless.
It was quite a lot of walking and my dad can't do too much. He was diagnosed with cancer 6 years ago in July and then in the December he had a major heart attack. He was given six months to live and obviously here he is six years on. The cancer has spread to his bones so he tends to ache lots and cannot stand for great lengths.
Going up to London is something that they would never do without me so it was nice to spend a day with them.
We got home around 4pm, so then I had to pack all my orders up and get them posted and then my sister phoned and asked if I fancied going out for pizza this evening. Yum, very naughty but it was a lovely evening.
Tomorrow, I'm taking my parents and the boys to Mercedes Benz world. Not really my thing but the males love it. You are allowed to sit in all the cars (and dream) so won't be around much but am hoping to add some pictures of some cards that I have made.
