October is one of those challenging and uplifting months all at the same time. The reason is I have loads of significant dates in the month attached to important people in my life or important events.
3 Oct is the anniversary of my lovely chosen mums death. She was sos special and there are times I long to talk to her. If I still myself I can still hear her voice.
9 Oct is my eldest grandchild’s birthday. He is 22 now and making his way in the world. He is a lovely soul and I’m so proud of him.
9 Oct is also the anniversary of my priesting. I was ordained priest in the morning and went to Alfie’s 1st birthday party in the afternoon. So that makes me 21 years a priest.
11 Oct is mine and Maggie’s anniversary. 34 years this year. She is the love of my life and my rock. I don’t know where I’d be without her.
11 Oct is also the day I had my first bag of chemo 9 years ago.
12 Oct is the anniversary of the death of the forever young Vicky. This feisty imp died when she was only 20. She was a tiny dot due to her cystic fibrosis but she left a huge impact on all who knew and loved her. Her birthday was so important to her. She made such a fuss about it so I never forget it. She would have been 37 today.
21 Oct is my 9th rebirthday. It’s the day I got my sister’s stem cells and my life was saved. It was also changed forever.
25 Oct is World MDS Awareness Day. MDS was my rare blood cancer. I was formally diagnosed in 2000 though I had weird blood tests going back to the 80s.
So you can see that October is an emotionally laden month for me.
I haven’t blogged for a year because I’ve been going through stuff. I think it’s about time I got going again. Expect more from me in the future.
Love and hugs folks
