My brother is actually 40 tomorrow but yesterday we had a family get-together, just a really nice lunch, for him. Dad can't go out any more, it's way too hard, so we all go to him. It was nice. But very bitter sweet when Mike and I were leaving. I'd said goodbye and as I was heading out I hear his small voice saying "Tell Carol". Mum asked "Tell Carol what?" He said again "Tell Carol". I was standing right beside mum and could see his frustration not being able to get his words out and for whatever reason his words weren't working properly direct to me. And then he said ... "Tell Carol I love her".
Right. Onto other things. My poor unfortunate imaginary family has been at it again and Jenny's secret is out. She will never be able to show her face in town again! LOL
