Family ties

Family ties, well I suppose you all know what that means, if you don't then I'll explain it's something that bonds a family together through thick and thin, good and bad, no matter what happens you're always there for one another. That goes for my family here in Croatia, of course there are arguments but because of the bond between the family the argument is soon forgotten. My family in Wales is the same if something happens then one of the family will let me know, I am a long way from home and I do miss it but I have my family here who although I don't show it I adore and love and couldn't wish for a better wife or children than I have, through all the adverserties we are there for one another. Yesterday I found out that my mam is in hospital, she's 92, has diabetes and now fluid in one of her lungs, as soon as I heard from my brother who is also abroad I was immediately shocked as was my wife and as soon as the call ended my wife and I cried, it may sound a bit stupid to hear me admit it but I was the same when my father died and now that my mam who we all out here love especially myself and my wife, is in hospital I am beginning to feel lost. Thanks to my son he lent me the money for the trip home and he also made all the necessary arrangements through the internet, like flight tickets and bus tickets as he understands how to do it better than me, that's what family is, it's a one of a kind bond, I may not be the greatest of dads but I try. The day after tomorrow I'll fly home and leave my family here to go to be with my other family who are also a huge part of my life especially as I wasn't the best of son's, my parents stood by me and I will be eternally grateful for that and now my mams in hospital and very sick I want to be close to her and my family who are in the hospital day and night, that's how much our mother means to us. Although it will be hard to leave my family behind I know that my wife will be here at home looking after our family but I have to go to be with my other family especially with my mam and my family here understands that and I know that they will be alright so that makes me flying home a little easier. Perhaps now after reading this blog you'll understand how much I love both my families, but sometimes these events happen and you have to cope with it as well as you can, that's all for today as I must wait for everyone to wake up and then I can sort out everything that I need for the trip home and no matter how long I will be there I will stay and be with my family. If you sort of enjoyed reading today's blog then share and maybe someone else will know how I feel. Thank you and let God watch over my mam.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

Terrible

Isn't it just terrible to see once again ordinary people being targeted by bombs and mortars and being once again driven from their homes. The orders obviously coming from the top which of course means non other than the war monger himself, Putin and the Ukrainians can't do a thing to stop it except helping with the evacuation of the elderly and sick from the border towns with Russia. It is a familiar site for me after witnessing it myself here in Croatia in 1991, so I know how those people feel being driven from their homes and normal lives not knowing wheater they will return or not by a superior force intent on carrying out their orders by a lunatic dictator. Here in Croatia after so many years people are back in their homes, rebuilt and the villages, towns and cities are back to normal, Croatia has come back from the brink of destruction to become a stronger and better country, all because of the heart and will of the people. There is a huge question mark over wheater the U...
