I am so lucky

Funny how life can make you assess life.

I have always appreciate how close we are as a family and don't take it for granted. I remember over the years reading about people going through terrible experiences in their lives and making reference to their families and how without their support life would not be the same.
I read it many times, but that was all, I read it. I did not take in the meaning of what that support might mean. The difference it makes.

My family have just been amazing. A couple of days after my operation, both Jack and Rhea surprised me on Saturday morning, but opening my bedroom door and jumping ( gently jumping) onto my bed. I cried! I had not expected it. Kyla had done a super job in organising and coordinating it, as both  Rhea and Jack arrived during the night and sneaked into their old bedrooms until the morning. We have a lovely day and dinner. I miss them so much, but that is the way it is. So grateful to have Kyla here.

We all talk daily, and without 'whats ap' ( not sure how you spell this. Remember I could not set this blog up without Rhea :-)), I would feel I am missing out. All their views, opinions, beliefs are so important to me.

Today is Rhea's Birthday and sadly she is not here with us. Only the second birthday she has spent away from us. But to make up for it, another surprise and I cried again of course, Friday night, Jack turned up in our apartment in Malaga and Saturday morning Rhea was suddenly standing in front of me in Malaga just as we were having breakfast in a local bar. I am clearly turning into a wuss.

Such a fantastic surprise (again), we made the most of it, as  both Jack and Rhea could stay 24 hours. Unfortunately they left on Kyla's Birthday, although the four of us went out for a lovely dinner.
We had a lovely meal in Marina del Este. This also gave us all the opportunity to talk through my research and planned alternative treatment, as it is hard for Jack and Rhea to follow it all via phone calls and messages.
