It all started while I was away- my other half J had a bad experience at work, criticism that wasn't warranted, thoughtless words and his whole world which had been filled with light was plunged into darkness.
Depression will do that to you and he has struggled with it for the last few years, but this was bad- I want to kill myself type bad. I had my little grandson E here with me, bought him back from Westport with me so he had something else to focus on. but its been hard, a stupid nurse that didn't help (made things worse.) Then finally a doctor that understood and upped medication and put him off work for a month. So anyway things are now better I don't know how long for but take each day as it comes.
We went to Alexandra yesterday, then to Clyde (nothing there) then on to Cromwell..
Was a long day. Alex was quite nice but don't know if I would be bothered with the other 2 places again. I think frankly after 2 trips up and down the island in a very short space of time I'm just over travelling for awhile. In saying that I am off to christchurch next week to look after the cheekies while L and Mase have a couple of tests and Doc's appointments.
Any way will finish with a fun day out at the botanics, Cheeky and me we'd been to the museum, taken J along but he was too tired and wanted to go home so we hung around and said goodbye to auntie K and Z as he wanted to see them before he went home.
I can't describe how much I love this boy, he is funny, spoilt, cheeky, naughty, but so honest and true that I hate the thought that one day he'll grow up and become all adult and flawed. That's why I love these photos of him and Peter Pan- the boy that never grew up!
