Family Life

I feel really happy and settled.

Sitting in Fhai’s house today after a meal, Joanne curled up on the sofa under a blanket, sharing news and watching the new TV. Richard is just back from Marjie’s proudly showing off his new (fake) credit card (an Amex like his Uncle’s) I’m swept away with the feeling of comfort and safety. How embraced and welcomed and warmed I feel here.

After watching the trials of Richard and Joanne’s early years ( the late nights, rushes to hospital, tantrums and tempers) it feels like they have turned a corner and settled into a new, more relaxed stage.

Walking back home I wondered what Amanda’s new family will be like and I really hope that it will be as comfortable, safe and secure as this one is becoming.
