Zack is home for the weekend.  Cate, bless her, picked him up along with her three boys and drove him home, for which I am more grateful than she can possibly know.  The trip seems to have gone well, and Zack was met by an ecstatic Kesia (who did say she was in equal parts nervous and excited) and a bouncy Tom.  A good evening despite forgetting Blue, and we are looking forward to a trip to Hampton Court tomorrow.
I am anxious, yes.  And trying not to be!!  I'm hopeful that the trip out will go well, and that Zack will no doubt spend much of the afternoon playing on the Wii.  As for Sunday, it will be short as I need to get him back to school for 4.30pm.
Fingers crossed!

Trying to be short!
As I read your last entries, I see a lot of progress going on..slow, undoubtedley painstaking, but real..it's not coming to terms with a situation that is so difficult that it should provoke anger and rebellion, but buiding aroung and with material that is far from being obvious! You ae doing so well! and what <i sense is that you are doing it not so much on your own..maybe Nick feels he has more space, because you are not so strong..weaknesses have their value! and that bring me to religion!!!
Believe me my issues with the subject qâre not so different from yours, I don't like the present pope anymore than you, the institution irritates me as much as you..however, there is a message at the root of it, which I refuse to ignore and it gives sense to a world which otherwise is handed to the powerfuls, the rich, the strong...it gives me the strength to love my grandchildren when they are not picture perfect, to love my children if they are not ideal images of a distorted egotrip.
Would you believe that each of your tiny little steps in overcoming the incredible difficulties of your life is a reason not to abandon a faith which is not natural to me, but is chosen, in spite of my rebellions
Lord nelson said that the pains he felt in the arm he had lost was a proof of the immortality of the soul!
the love I feel for you and yours is a constant reminder of a Something else.
Enough!
I love you, you have done wonders..the garden, the "sink", the Noonan group, the kids'schools...amazing! Take care, I hope the week-end goes well..trust!
