I have just had yet another birthday!!!!!!! Holidays and birthdays are painful reminders in this process and seem to be one way of marking time. All I can think of is I'll be that much older if and when my daughter ever comes home. Due to an unfortunate accident at the end of February, I wasn't much in the mood for celebrating this year. My parents are wonderful and amazing. I can only hope to be like them one day. They came over last Thursday and appeared in my classroom after school taking me completely by surprise. I am facing a number of challenges at the moment and a lot of anxiety and it was so lovely to see them. We had a lovely family dinner with my sister on Friday night and then I have used the weekend to write report cards!!!!!!!
Here goes for a few more letters:

I was going to take a leap of faith and jump at the opportunity but my hapless accident has slowed me down.

More later, very tired and off to make some dinner.
