Holding it together?

The end of August and now September has thrown up the following;

  • Urgent roof repairs to house £££
  • Expensive MOT failure £££
  • Dog broke its leg, now in surgery as I type.£££
  • Washing machine broke. New one ordered £££
  • Amazon driver reversed into my parked car £££

And I’m keeping it together…but last Tuesday my wife of 33 years had a biopsy on ‘a mass’ found in her chest. We get the results this coming Tuesday. The doctor is ‘very concerned’


All of a sudden all the expensive problems mean nothing. My own feelings mean nothing.  Now I really have to hold it together. She deserves and has earned, a thousand times over, strong emotional support. 

If there is a God, please help us out. There’s a kind and loving woman going through hell at the moment. And I admit. I’m struggling to keep it together. Sorry.
