Our summer.
Well, to be honest, we didn't really get a summer here! Kept waiting for the sun to shine and it didn't really happen. It's been a long time since June and I've so much to post about, but I'm just going to take it a step at a time or else I'll get totally overwhelmed by the thought! I'm going to try and keep it in chronological order so as not to miss anything out. But firstly, a brief description of my "summer" and lack of blogging.
It has been a summer of mixed emotions, in fact we have had births, deaths and marriages. September was definitely a bit of a getting-back-to-normality month. My friend had a baby girl in June, Hannah, a sister to Nicola & Liam. My wee boy turned one in July...me oh my where did that year go? My cousin became a dad when baby Ryan was born in July. We also had so many weddings to attend this summer, but most notably our own. However, my Grandad had been very ill and spent most of June and all of July in hospital, he was too ill to make it to my cousins wedding in July and very sadly passed away the week before our wedding in August. He was a fabulous man and was such a part of the church that we married in that it was strange and very sad for him not to be there with us. We attended his funeral on the Thursday, it was a great service, the sun shone, the church was packed because he knew so many people and was involved in so many things. There is a lovely post & comment on this blog about Grandad. On Saturday we were back in the church getting married, my family is wonderful and despite the hurt we were all feeling at losing Grandad, they gave me the best day I could've hoped for. Thank you all.
