Grazed knee
My family are the best in the world. Last night we had a bbq to celebrate my Dad and Mums 60th wedding anniversary. In usual family style my brothers and my sister all turned up with all their kin, it was like the clan gathering. My family have a unique sense of humour, Jill loved these get together’s, she said we would laugh at all the silliest things, sometimes at nearly nothing at all. I new this one was going to be terribly different so yesterday all day I was preparing myself, not for going but for coming home, one cannot describe the emptiness and pain at a time like this. I can face going to most things, its the leaving to come home thats worse.
One of my nieces little ones fell and grazed her knee and her hand. It was such a calamity and as I prayed for Daddy God to make her better I found myself being whisked back to a time when a grazed knee, a torn trouser leg or a bloodied nose was a massive thing to me. Oh how time has a way of deepening the calamities of life. As I watched the kids play last night I was praying into myself that God would protect them from growing up to soon and so to little Caitlin, I trust your better today and that you realize the world of the grazed knee isn’t so bad after all, today it will probably be all better.
Love yas

Morning Philip - you're right, the trauma of the grazed knee was all forgotten this morning, but Caitlin didn't forget that you kissed her better and asked Daddy God to fix her knee. And in return, she prayed for you this morning, and said she wanted to remind God to look after you every time she thinks about you - and that's a big lot. I loved our clan getting together last night - we do have a real special family - but like I said to you, the photos are just a bit empty this time... We cried and prayed for you last night, and can only hope that in some small way you can draw strength from the family God has given you - we're all behind you, from the oldest to the very youngest, and we love you so much. Bless your heart today... J
Hi Philip
We had a cell bbq last night and i heard your clan having fun and enjoying themselves and i just thought to myself how will Philip cope with this one. What an achievement for your mum and dad and i asked myself that same question WHY? I prayed God would help you through and im still praying your pain will ease some day soon. By the way will never judge you cause you never judged andrew and me over twenty years ago when plenty of others did (you will know what i mean)
Love you always
Andrew & Hazel xo
