Hi again.
I am writing a kind of emotional piece here so bear with me and no need to weep!
We bought the MH because I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. Why? Because husband and I have accompanied my mother (90 now and in care) through every stage of dementia, where I stopped work and was primary carer non-stop for 8 years. Hard and stressful. Autoimmune often sets in after high stress events, especially marathon ones like ours was/is.
Last Sunday we collected our pretty princess for a little trip to our local forest, just to get to know her and her innards a bit better. Don't laugh, the length of the trip was 4 kms in total, two there and two back, because we live beside a wonderful forest park that goes on endlessly.
As hubby backed her out of the parking space, the cathedral bells directly above our heads started chiming out that it was 12 o'clock. Sheer coincidence. I suddenly got this 'message' in my head that the heavens were smiling. I read somewhere that the church bell occupies the space between heaven and earth, so ringing a bell unites both spheres. Free at last. Free to move, to travel, to explore this glorious land of ours. I felt my Dad and hubby's Dad were "delighted" to see us both free after so many years of being tied to the house and close vicinity.
Very emotional for me. A bit of a shock.
Now we are planning to escape for a few days after Easter. How very exciting.
Sorry about that. But imagine there may be others out there for whom having a MH means a great deal too.
