Is life fair?

Sometimes life seems unfair, and we feel that someone somewhere has it in for you. At the moment life in my household seems to be one piece of bad news after another. As I said in my last post I lost my Mum. We have 3 Springer spaniels - or at least we had 3 Springer spaniels until this morning when my oldest spaniel lost her fight against pneumonia/chest infection when we had her put to sleep. My youngest spaniel is currently residing in the vets fighting an unknown infection that we can't identify. My American daughter in law was refused entry into the UK about 5 weeks ago following a visit to Germany to visit friends. Amazing as she has lived in the UK for the last 3 years and her and my son have been living with us since last February. They are now separated while they wait for his American Visa to be sorted. I'd say that all of these things mean we've been having a tough time and right now I don't think life is fair, but I know that time will soften these hard times and we will get through it. 

In the meantime I'll cry tears for those I have lost, and hold onto hopes that other things improve. If  you read this - please also hold onto hope when things get tough...

On Sunday September 9th my Mum died peacefully. She is finally at peace. I will miss her, have missed her since the dementia reduced her to what she became.

They say life goes on and it does, but intrinsically changed nonetheless.
