Going home
December 2nd, 2003 09:02 amI am such a cold-hearted bully where my parents are concerned. I made Dad have a fire in the living room both days while Alex and I were visiting the weekend before last. And it was lovely; warm, bright and crackly. We even got to put wrapping paper on it in a simulation of Christmas (I was wrapping things up) so all in all, it was a pretty good subsititute.
( My pretend christmas ) I had a really lovely weekend - it was really nice to have Alex along with me for a change, and I don't think it was too great a hardship for him. I sometimes wish my parents lived closer so that I could go and see them more often, or more easily. Still, it's not like we don't see each other a lot - in a couple of weeks time we'll be meeting up again, this time at my Nans house. My Mum's still pretty sad that I'm not going home for Christmas this year, but I think she's coping and well, it had to happen some time, didn't it.
