SOS

Emotinal pain is an artist of its own kind. Sometimes pieces of the sculpture break off. Maybe one day they will be glued back on. If not it might leave a scar, a point of interest or attraction.

All the important parts of my life seem to have taken a skydive, a damn group dive!

My mom is working hard being a carer for some Honourable Lady. Apparently the scenery is really pretty and relaxing where she is, plus there is another carer who is being a great friend to her. But times are still tough and everytime I talk to Mom she offloads on me and the tears well up. My dad is worn out and feeling down from working during the day and carrying out 'guard duty' around the house at night. Kevin's health (eye-sight) is still an issue but atleast he has now emigrated to South Africa. My beloved dog Winston has a cancerous growth in his mouth and the vets can't do anything. My country is ... well lets not go there! My new workload is sobering and when I see colleagues it's the same thing for each of us - rant, listen, group hug!

Yep, you guessed it, I'm feeling very low. I'm doing what I can to keep myself cheerful ... being as creative as possible, bought a bike, taking time off work and looking forward to spending time in Switzerland this September.

But everybody needs a bit of extra help sometimes, so I'm asking for a small favour from you please.

I have six postcards, that friends have sent to me, stuck up around my bedroom mirror so there is always something fun, interesting and meaningful to look at. Please send me a postcard and help me make this collection even more heartwarming! It doesn't need to have a profound message on it, just anything you fancy.
You will put a smile on my face in the morning and I'll do my best to make it last all day!

Many thanks in advance!
