Thank you dear @Jynx I appreciate you reaching out to me 🙏
I've wasted most of the day with all of my plans out the window.
But that's ok, it's an unusually awful day.
I've just moved the lawn and I'm about to cook dinner so all in all I think I've done ok considering 🙂

You're welcome @Anastasia, sounds like you are doing the best you can under dire circumstances.
I know you meant 'mowed' but you wrote 'moved' and all I could think was "Yep, makes sense you will literally move heaven and earth, including your own lawn, to ensure you and your family are safe and well!" 
I hope your evening is a little calmer and that you are able to catch up on your plans on another day

Haha yes mowed but under the circumstances moved does sound fitting @Jynx 😃

They're settings up palliative care for Dad, nothing more they can do, my darling Dad and Mum 😭
Ohhhhhh no, @Anastasia ! 😞
Plus your boy had a plan, ohhhh no 😞
I am sending wishes that your boy keeps safe and thoughts of a plan leave now. Will he be going into hospital? Where at least he'll be safe?
Also sending wishes that none of you catch Covid...also that you can actually see your Dad in whichever facility he'll be in. Also that you and your Mum cope and both have enough support, at the moments that you need it. Also that you all can get enough sleep which might be the only relief you'll have at this time. 💔 Also that your Dad doesn't suffer, that the pain meds work effectively. Also for strength (physical, mental and emotional) for all of you at this time.
Feel free to send any specific requests for wishes to the universe...
Sending lots of 💚 and hugs and thoughts...

Thank you precious @NatureLover 💚🙏
I appreciate all of your beautiful wishes, they are perfect.
My boy is waiting on a bed to be available next week. Praying he stays safe until then.
Please take care of you, you're very special to me 🤗☕🍒☀️🌳
