Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

I'm interested, are you married, children? I don't know much about you, but you don't have to say. @HenryX

Hello @Former-Member

Really pleased to hear from you, and I hope that things are relatively stable for you. I have noticed that you have said that "Not such a great time for me."

I am also aware that some of my messages suit some people and not others, depending on situation and circumstance. I assure you that I am pleased to know that you are able to check in here. You are always welcome, if just for a few words, or a bit more of a conversation. I promise not to overload you.😃

When I am talking with people, I generally try not to enquire too much, as that may be intrusive, but I am always happy to have a word or a page, depending on how you are feeling.

Thank you for acknowledging my last post about Cassie Jaye. I have been really impressed with what she presented. And also thank you for the appreciation that you expressed for what I offer in general.

Please let me know if you would like to talk about anything, or just sit and let each other know that we share some thoughts and care.

With My Very Best Wishes

Hi @Former-Member ,

I live on my own. Up to July two years ago, my mother lived with me for seven years before going into residential care. Mum was there for three years. The residential care, where I now go to participate in singing with others and the residents, on Thursday morning, is only about 750 metres away.

Each day, I used to go up to be with mum, often to have a meal with Mum and the other residents. After Mum passed away, it was nearly 2 years before I felt comfortable going back for the singing. Now I enjoy the company of the residents and the other singing group members, and they seem to enjoy mine. We also have a small singing group on Tuesday evenings at a local hall.

I have four daughters and a son. The older of my daughters visits me with her son. As I think you can imagine, I very much enjoy their company, when they come to visit, every couple of months. My son and the other three daughters are more distant. I am hoping and mentally working toward establishing contact with them. I do hope that might be pleasant for them and for me.

That is a little bit about my life. If you have any other questions, I would, while recognising guidelines, be happy to talk with you about my life.

With Best Wishes

@HenryX

Thankyou for sharing a part of your life @HenryX

I really hope that there will be reconciliation with your other children. I don't have any contact with family, except my husband and daughter. Christmas is always a difficult time. I always say to myself, it will be ok. But it hasn't been so far. Next year is going to be different. I'll make sure of it.
I'm sorry to hear that you don't have contact with all of your kids. That must be difficult.
I meant to say, next year will be better. @HenryX 😃

Yes @Former-Member , it is difficult to feel that people so close on a familial relationship level are so distant in time and space. However, like you, I remain hopeful and work toward the goals that are important to and for me and those I care about. That sentiment connects with your very positive comment,

"This year is going to be different. I'll make sure of it."

I certainly hope that with realistic expectations and a little nudging, you and your family and I too, will have a pleasant and peaceful Christmas.

I will be joining a close friend, of whom I have spoken on the forum, and her family for Christmas. I have known all the children since they were born, and they relate to me really well. Consequently, while it may not be all that I could wish for, the company and activities will be pleasant and I will not be on my own.

Cheers, @HenryX

It is very difficult when your kids turn away. I hope it changes for you @HenryX You are so kind to everyone.
My daughter has gone her own way a few times, but she always comes back. It's a safe place at home. I love my home.
I really hope things turn around for the best for you.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and expression of concern @Former-Member . I'm sorry that I was not able to reply sooner. I had a telephone call and another response to finish and post. I know that you probably don't expect or need an explanation, but it feels more comfortable for me to offer it.

It is with a great deal of pleasure that I read your statement, "It's a safe place at home. I love my home."

I very much hope that you have an enjoyable and pleasant Christmas with family and hopefully with friends also. And that the presence of your daughter will be comforting and special for both you and your husband.

This evening I plan to be here for a while. Tomorrow I will be going out with friends for most of the day and will be in tomorrow evening.

Happy to connect any time we can, and thank you so very much for your conversation this evening.

With My Very Best Wishes to You, @Former-Member

So Very This!!!

@HenryX

She sums up good points.

I often identified as a tomboy and often defend male points of view. My bottom line is that we share being human and that is more than sex differences.

I also doubt I would have survived at all, without my love of early feminist writers, they gave me something to engage with the narrow self serving religious attitudes of my mother.

I am wary of Us and Them talk, or making the 'other' an enemy, and definitely against the new saying... a war on ... x,y,z. War and enemies are serious things and should not be taken lightly.

Yet I am a woman and it has taken me a long time to be able to stand proud and tall.

I like this lady ... about learning to wish and dream ...
