“I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.”
Barbera Bush
Thanks, Spidey.
Togetherness really is the epitome of a close-knit family.
I feel blessed to be part of one of those families.
It means you don’t just get together in times of joy, but you rally around when times are tough too.
Just like with my Pops. I was so fortunate that our family is so close, that when I couldn’t be there straight away, there was someone else to help out.
(By the way, many of you asked, Pops is doing so well now. It’s been six weeks since the surgery, and finally, the wound has fully healed and the dressings are off. He’s walking, albeit slower than usual, doing his yoga breathing exercises, but nothing more strenuous, and he has even managed to drive a short distance. thanks to you and all your good wishes, and the care of both family and professionals, he is more or less the Pops of before!)
And now we are off to forge a little togetherness too, our little family of four.
As of tomorrow, we will be officially on holiday. Taking time to be together, just us, and enjoying each others company, as well as some relaxation time.
Don’t worry, I’m making no sweeping statements about not being here because you know me, somehow I’ll still end up writing something, or answering comments 😜
But electronics and social media will be at a minimum (well, that’s the plan, anyway!) and family time will be at the forefront of everything.
We will sit together and eat, do activities together, spend time with each other, and create memories too.
What do you do as a family, to ‘forge a little togetherness’? 😘
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps ❤ And enjoy your week!
