Roll Call - 16th October 2006

[sanjay]

Hello Family,

Starting a new Roll Call for this week..........

The monsoon rains are coming to an end here.... We have had a good dosing of water and the crops this year are good... The monsoon has been longer than normal...

This week end is the Festival of Diwali.... a festival of Lights.... This is equivalent to Christmas and Guy Fox day combined and celebrated by Hindu Families thru festive meals, Exchange of Gifts and Fireworks.......... I am looking forward to rejoining my family members during this festivities and build good memories for the future....

Mollie, Sally, Rose and Glenda ---- read your messages was great and it felt like good old times again.... I wonder where Kerrie, Big E and others are????? Perhaps some one can get message across to them that this house is now open....


Have a great week and may the Good Lord give you Peace, Strength and Happiness....


Love and Regards

Sanjay

Hello Sanjay,

It is always nice to read your messages.

LIfe carries on as usual here,busy looking after the little ones, (I am a registered childminder).

The one main thing that has changed here since the forum stopped working for a while, is that my 17 year old daughter is pregnant. It was a huge shock when she first told me that she thought she was, but now nearly 6 months on, we are looking forward to the arrival of our first grandchild. She has a very supportive boyfriend. who is doing everything he can to look after her and make sure that she and the baby are having everything that they need. So between work and visits to the doctor, life is hectic...:)

I hope that you are continuing to keep well and look forward to reading any other messages on the roll-call.:)

Hi Sanjay & Sally,
Thankyou Sanjay for starting rollcall. I do hope your festivities are fiilled with much joy & love. Sally..congratulations. Yes i agree what a shock but then again the joy a new life brings. Today is my daughters 21st birthday....my mothers 4th anniversary..how terribly i miss them both.I sit here writing to you listening to "their" song..Have i told you lately that i love you. Days i have great strength..others remain hard BUT i rejoice they are together.That they reunited 13wks after loosing each other was a blessing.I am off interstate next week...while i am in Queensland i will visit a special memorial walk/Contemplation chapel dedicated to the soldiers who served in the Royal Australian Regiments.My darling father served with 1 RAR & 2 RAR so i expect it will be not only a very emotional solem visit but one with much pride as a Digger's daughter as our soldiers are known.It was built to honour our servicemen/woman but also for families who lost a loved one buried overseas..dad's childhood friend was KIA in Korea at just 19yrs his name is on the honour list there so i will deliver a personel thankyou.I have learnt thru my experience with PSP to be mindful of what i complain about after my PSP ride for i have much to remain greatful for.I met a lovely Dr thru my work who i educated on PSP...my journey..my heartache..my Hero..my PSP family.I'm happy to say he had intention of going home to look at our PSP forum & learn as much as he can abt PSP. He will then educate his colleagues on PSP in the hope families/carers & PWPSP will have better care & assistance along there journey until the day we have a cure.I am sure dad,Jan & Bob were talking for me for i was tired but delivered copious amounts of information. So i have achieved 1 student for PSP Awareness Month.
God Bless & prayers for a safe healthy week ahead.
Luv Glenda:)

Hello everyone,

Both of my parents continue to decline. I made arrangements for my mother to come home for Thanksgiving. I honestly don't know what shape she will be in by then. My dad is having trouble with his vision and he isn't driving. This makes it even more difficult for my dad to visit my mom.
