Home!

Yes, at last, after 6 long weeks, Cathal went home this evening...!

HOORAY!!!!

What an adventure this has been! His Mammy will soon pick up the threads on her blog, I am sure, and I will be able to resume my “Grand” position.

In the mean time, I want to say a few “thank you’s” to several people – sorry if I sound like some recipient of an Oscar, a Bafta or some other award:

- All of you who read this blog over the last 6 weeks, and came back, and back again.
- All of you who left comments, or emailed me directly – it was hard to keep up-beat and positive all the time, and these helped oh! so much!
- All of you who said prayers, lit candle, did little “get well dances”, sent positive thoughts and good vibes into the ether and around the word, and tried some magicking (crossed fingers, winks and clicking of red shoes included).

It is amazing the level of support felt through this little blog, and very much appreciated.

And then, to family and friends who emailed, texted and phoned… thank you too!

Last but not least, I want to thank my agnostic god (or should I say Goddess? As for a long time this power higher than me has felt like a “Mother”) for helping Cathal through this and out the other side safe and well; and for looking after my own child and the Dad, and giving them the incredible strength they have demonstrated.

Now Cathal, his Mammy and the Dad can take a deep breath, and finally get back to normal life.

Ok, time for some virtual champagne – I think there’s one bottle left, that we didn’t drink it all. Isn’t that right Jazzy? ;-)
