Dear @Anastasia
I got home today after my week away at the Resort. Happy to be home again now, but really pleased I decided to keep my booking, rather than cancel when H died.
Wondering how your boy is going? It was only a couple of days ago that you were going to take him home again after the bullying incidents. From what I have gathered however, it sounds like he remains in hospital. I really hope that means a resolution has been reached with the hospital?
Must be so hard for you to maintain a fulltime work position, while also supporting your boy during what has clearly been a crisis situation.
Love, hugs and prayers coming your way.
Hi also to @WIP @SJT63 @NatureLover @Eve7 @Former-Member .. re update above.

Hello @Emelia8
I'm so happy you kept it too 💞🙏🌷
Yes extremely difficult juggling work and my boy's supports. I believe I've found an Angel in a new support coordinator. Someone with mh background, in the know... Boy it's a minefield out there. Dodging them so far but I am at breaking point. I will be speaking with my boss Monday so I have his support with appointments and time working at home over the next (hopefully only) couple of weeks. I'm sure I'll get it, he's wonderful.
Off to see my boy today take him out for a bit. Hopefully make him smile 🙏
Last time I saw him I cried all the way home and into the night, luckily I made a new friend in here and he kept me from falling further into darkness. @saltandpepper 🙏 hello, friend ☺️
Have a great day all - I hope there is some light for all of you 💞
Thinking of my Victorian friends and sending extra love @WIP @Snowie @Owlunar 💕

Hopefully it is only for a week @Anastasia but have a feeling it will be extended.
Going to brave the supermarket soon 😬 Hoping it is not too busy and that I can get what I need.
@Emelia8 wishing you a good day too sweetheart 💜

Hi @Anastasia
Hoping you have a quality visit with your boy today. So glad to hear that you and your boss will be able to work out some sort of arrangement for you over the next week or so. That will be a big help!
Have a good day. xx
