Dear Dave,
Hi, its me again. Told you I would be back. I hope I won't bore you to much. I just felt the need to get my thoughts down on paper, well on blog. You know what I mean.
I was so gutted, I was actually crying down the phone to the woman at See Tickets. It was not a good look. I mean, a woman of my age crying over a ticket cancellation? What ever would my Gran have thought if she could see me?
My Gran, I must point out, was my main family influence, especially during my teen years. She was the one who tried to encourage me to be what I wanted to be and do what I wanted to do. I wish I had had the courage to act on what she advised but I had to much respect for (ha) and, more honestly, fear of my parents to completely break away and do what I really wanted to do with my life. Not that I knew exactly what that was, but you get the gist.
I was a child wrapped up in cotton wool, according to my Gran and she could see the harm it was doing to me not letting me find my own way and make my own mistakes. The end result was several doozys of mistakes when I was older and had finally undone the family apron strings.
Since having my own two girls, I have tried to allow them more freedom to experience and learn without being in any danger. The eldest has done alright but I am still worrying about the youngest. Still, she is a good girl at heart so I hope she will make the right choices in the end. I will always be there for her if she doesn't, which is more than my own parents were for me.
Anyhoo, I have just seen the time. Gotta get some dinner and finish packing. Early start in the morning. Hope the weather holds.
Won't be writing again until Monday. I'll let you know how you were and how the weekend went.
Warmest Regards
Eve C
