As you know I am partial to a bit of ABBA but there is one of their songs that reduces me to tears when I hear it & that is “slipping through my fingers”
It reminds me of of what I missed out on with my Children due to long hours at work & how I cannot get that time back, since part time & retirement I manage to spend more time with Grandkids but due to Joe’s condition I spend a lot of time battling him & then cuddling him, I look at Gracie & Tilly, Tilly at four years is absolutely brilliant, she never fails to make us laugh but Gracie at nine is understanding more & realising what an arsehole her Father is, she is really bright but lacks confidence, she is a fantastic runner & easily wins all her races over any distance on sports day yet still says she cannot run, htf do I show her how good she is, we have tried everything but she cannot see it, I may be looking at pointing the finger of blame but I really believe her Dad is 100% to blame, she hates going to her Dad’s but our hands are tied.
