Think this ongoing covid is starting to affect me. I am one of the LUCKY ones, been working throughout, am healthy etc etc. But the months of this have begun to affect my mood. It’s just relentless. And tonight my mum said she doesn’t know if she will ever get to see her loved ones again (parents live in South Africa and so goodness knows when we can get there again)
For the first time ever I'm wishing Christmas didn't exist. It's focusing all of us on what we are missing and yet we've been missing so much all year yet coping with it.... :-(
Just imagine how people felt by 1945 then - 6 spoilt Christmases in a row, many with loved ones away all that time in Africa,Italy,Far East. We got through it because we didn't stop to wallow in self pity, but got on with life as best we could. Of course we had a brilliant leader, not a blundering softie coward with no guts.
who got dumped as soon as the war was over. He took us through bad times, thats for sure. If people get emotional its their way of dealing with things, those who comply with the rulings may still get the virus.
what would have Boris do.?
I'm feeling really low now. Been fairly upbeat for months but it's got too much, I noticed my husband with tears in his eyes earlier after having to scrap seeing the grandchildren at Christmas and he doesn't show emotion easily.
I know how your husband feels, Horselady. I'm not tearful but I have been today.
Some were tears of joy until I got a message saying that we have lost a little one who came into our family one year ago. I was so longing to meet him and now I never will. It's knocked me for six.......
I think it's beginning to hit everyone now. Can't seem to catch a break. Things always seem worse at winter time anyway. Let's hope we can soon see light at the end of the tunnel.
