I woke up this morning and just needed to be held by someone. I love to be touched, my hair stroked. gentle and genuine expressions of love.
My children and parents are here for Christmas, my first without my wife. Yesterday, I received notification of the decree nisi and shed a few tears. I imagined what it would look like and thought of Marley's Ghost its chains being made from every argument and hurtful action that has led to this.
The decree absolute would look like the ghost of Christmas yet to come and wield a great axe to split apart what "No man can break asunder,"
My father is really not well, so tired and vague I hope that he can have some joy in the next few days.

Hi mate,
Christmas is a funny time, so many expectations so many memories.
Being alone at Christmas is often hard.
It's a tough one getting the decree nisi at this time. But it was going to happen so now you have a cleen slate to start the new year with.
Anyway sounds like you are in for a good Christmas with your children and your parents, it must be so special having children.
Enjoy what you have, you are so lucky.
