My visit...

[Ally]

....I've noticed a couple of you asking about it. Thanks.

Like I said in my GM thread I'd thought long and hard about coming over but couldn't bear the thought of dad being on his own Christmas Day.

Don as usual was his uber understanding self when I mooted the idea of coming over but, and it sounds daft, he said he'd find the idea of quarantining for 2 weeks difficult. Which is fair enough.
It's 'easy' for me as I'm used to being with dad for extended periods of time. If this makes sense.

We had a family meeting and the twins are rallying round with visits and staying over. In fact they both did last night and the previous one.

Conor will be with Lucia and her family Christmas Day. Jacob is cooking for him and Don at our house.

God willing I get home on the 2 Jan.
I've booked us two nights in Nerja from the 3rd where Don and I will celebrate a belated Christmas together.

I feel grateful I've been able to come over. It's the first Christmas in 32 years Don and I have been apart at this special time but again, God willing, we'll have many more together. X

I can totally understand Al, both you wanting to be with your Dad and also Don struggling with the thought of quarantine.

It’ll be a different Christmas for you, but a really special one with your Dad. I hope he’s keeping well.

Happy Christmas to all of the family xxx

I totally understand your reasoning Ally, and wish you all a terrific Christmas xxx

Completely understand your wish to be with you dad Ally and also completely understand Don's decision.

Have a lovely Christmas and a very healthy New Year.

And enjoy Nerja xx

You have been married long enough to make a rational, adult decision, Ally. I know you will miss Don and the boys but totally understand you wanting to be with your Dad xx

You have to do what’s right for you.

But I am pleased that you had a Covid test before you came and are isolating.

It’s difficult. My gif daughter was hoping to visit her boyfriend for new year. She us in Derbyshire. He is in Glasgow. It looks unlikely they will get together - although they are looking at possible ways around it.
