Week four in a year of stitches

Between the 18th and 24th of January I had to rush to take care of my mum who had a fall which left her with four cracked ribs.

Mum and Dad are in their eighties and quite fragile. It's awful to have to see them in pain.

Mum is improving each day. Her positive spirit and can do attitude coupled with her implicit faith in prayer is making all the difference.
