That's very kind of you. And I give thanks on a daily basis that she's being spared this awfulness, although she was a very recourseful girl and would have made the best of it if she hadn't been ill. She did manage to pass on some of her practical skills over the many years we were together and I give daily thanks for that as well. I hope your luck holds and that you have a happy ending. Cheers mate
Sam what can anyone say after reading your 2020 story You are both such an inspiration really pleased to hear that Mrs Sam is on the mend My year now doesn't seem to bad here's my story It all started for me in 2019 my wife left her job of 10 years as working nights was starting to take its toll My work was going ok so we agreed she would take a few months off then in the new year find a new job Then covid hit and there's been not many jobs around for her ,I got put on -20% of my salary plus I lost all overtime time we both found it tough but had enough money to pay the bills and put food on the table but still very lucky to have a job as my company i work for in June 2020 started to make redundancies and we still have more to come this year To top our year off my wife has started to suffer from depression she has been struggling not seeing anyone and not going anywhere we have also had family issues (sisters not talking mums getting involved but that's another story)I'm still working and I think this has helped me get through this I have been working throughout this pamademic although I have now had my wages reduced permanently to help the company survive this or so we have been told...... My wife seems to be getting better but we have still a long way to go My hats of to you Sam for dealing with your wife's issues and still laughing my wife and I need to laugh more Reading your 2020 has definitely helped me to appreciate what I have so thankyou
Well I’m very glad it’s helped. I don’t think any of us really appreciate what we’ve got (usually) until it’s too late and I firmly include myself in that category. I can’t say it was my intention but I’m very glad and a little surprised that it helps others. Then again it’s always helpful to know others are in a similar of not the same boat. I wrote it down; A. To get it off my chest, B. I thought it was the most bizarre year. I don’t think the bizarre is over for any of us yet but hopefully, as I’ve said before, come the spring things will start to get better for everyone. You’ve obviously got your head screwed on, so my best wishes to you and your wife. We’ll get through this and pretty soon we’ll all be riding motorbikes again even if it currently feels like we’ve got no paddle and very brown hands.
Sam Thanks for your kind words Would love to meet up at some point after all this shit is over where do you live i live in the Woking area Steve
