Yes...this is ALL about me, and mine. Marvellously self indulgent, feel free to tell me how splendid I am, leave comments, nice ones please, I have little kids and teenagers who can do the rude stuff. I am a grandma, to the glorious Joshua, I'm allowed to look frazzled and weary, I earned it. The older I get, the more I see that hanging on and being patient is worth it! They ( whoever 'they' are) are so right when they say you never know what is around the corner, it isn't always an articulated truck! It is vital to make the time for making memories, friends are the greatest treasure, I love mine. I am rich!

The Army.....

Said no.
Poor Jordan. Remember when we were in the old house, living with the black fluffy walls and he got that lung rot? Well, because of that he can't join the army.
He can reapply in 3 years but we hope that by then, he will have found something else to do that makes him feel as fulfilled as the army promised to make him.
Of course I am relieved for me, but for him? Crushed because he was so ready to do it, live it, breathe it....now he is lost again and can't think what he can do instead.
Damn Army.
Thankyou.

Oh! Poor Jordan!! I can just imagine how heartbroken he must be. I hope he's able to put his passion into something bigger and better (And safer :))

He must feel so bad Helen. I can imagine how you feel as his Mum though. I hope he finds something he loves to do and never looks back.

Darn blogger won't let me sign in. :)

Poor Jordon. Hope he remembers that everything happens for a reason. I have to remind myself of that all the time. I'm sure you are relieved to an extent though.

Oh I'm sorry for him! I'm sure that must be so hard when he had his heart set on it!
