We are not pushing hubby's mum into anything, we are letting her take her time and deal with things as she is ready, she knows we are here ready and willing to help with anything she may need help with, but so far she is doing very well on her own.
Well I say on her own, she has a good friend who is helping her thru all she needs to do, which is great. We all need good friends when we lose loved ones, as friends can be all that is left some times.
Along with what is going on close to home I stop and look up or listen to the news and the quiet little town I live in is under a shadow.
The shadow of something so big and horrific you couldn’t make it up and wouldn't.
You see I only live 15 minutes away from Ipswich and Hintlesham is the only little village between us & Ipswich.
The brook where they found the first poor girl is two steps off the main road I use to go shopping at my local Tesco's at Copdock, just the other side of the A14 to where they found the second poor girl.
My cousin lives 2 minutes from the same Tesco store, only on the Ipswich side not the Copdock side, and she has a young daughter & son.
I have never felt as unsafe in my own garden as I do now, it's just not fair why us, why here in Suffolk?
My heart goes out to the families of the girls, after all no young girl goes out to choose that profession, it is something you fall into thru need or addiction, neither of which are a good thing.
I just hope for a speedy resolve to this so that maybe we can gain some peace again, but my fear is that it won't be speedy and it will drag on for years with no one knowing what really happened and by whom.
Let’s just hope there is no more bad news between now and Christmas, I need all the help I can get to find the will to carry on with Christmas as it is.
I'm just looking forward to 2007 being a better year than this one has been.
Christmas hugs to you all.
