    After everything I've been through, I would hope they are happy for me. He treats me incredibly well and it's obvious he loves me. What more can they want for me really?

    Oh well. His parents are happy about it anyway!

    I can understand them being worried about you, but I'd hope they'd be happy for you too... I'm sure they will be, but I'm sure they are trying to work out how they'll cope without you too... .
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Oh sweetheart
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    What was lovely was T on Saturday. I looked after him while J took A to her dance class and while we were sat watching TV, he came out with "Dad said when you move in, you'll be bringing lots of books". He seems to have accepted me, apparently they both really like me, but I still want them to have a chance to know me better.

    That's very understandable. I think you are right to wait. It's not going to be easy, I expect your parents may make things difficult. But you are stronger than you know, and you've got something wonderful awaiting you.

    J’s parents seem like very loving, warm, kind people

    They seem to have really taken to me. They took me home yesterday and took me for lunch first. They done that a few times.

    I love what T said about you! It's a when not if! Sounds like you and T get on really well!

    How are you today? Ankles? Wrists?

    We seem to have bonded over Man Utd! And I'll sit and talk to him and listen to him. He knows his mum doesn't like me but I think it helps too that J's parents talk about me and are really positive about me. T doesn't trust his mum but he trusts J and his grandparents.

    Ankles are stiff and a little swollen. Hopefully it won't affect mt clutch work!

    That's really sad that's how he feels about his mum.... You really are now and going to be so important in their lives.
    Man U? Hasn't the poor boy suffered enough?

    Hope the clutch goes well
