MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Proud
I’ve just finished my hospital week and it’s been a bit strange having to start a day late because of the bank holiday. But one word sticks out this week for me and that’s Proud.
I’m so Proud of my daughter Boo who managed to get some great results on her GCSEs despite having so many problems at school. She enrolled at college and picked her courses with the help of the tutors and has already made some new friends. She’s now excited to get started and I couldn’t be more proud of her.
I’m also proud of my kids who have pulled together this week and helped me while I was going through treatment. They’ve helped with cooking and housework and looked after themselves while I’ve not been home.
Last week I was talking about Star’s 18th birthday, and I’ll forever be proud with how she copes with all that she has to go through. Now my treatment week is over I’m getting back on her case and I’m going to push the hospital for some more answers and hopefully a little push for a sooner appointment. The waiting is the hardest sometimes.
I’m also proud of myself, and I believe you should be sometimes. I’ve had a lot to deal with over this summer but I’ve coped, and I think I’ve achieved much more than I really expected of myself.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Proud is a lovely word for your week. I’m glad that Boo’s made friends and is excited to start college. Hope she settles in well and enjoys it. That’s great that your kids have all pulled together so well during your treatment this week. Good luck with getting more answers for Star and hope you can get an earlier appointment for her too. You should definitely be proud of yourself too – these last few months must have been so hard and you’ve got through the summer and coped with it. Well done to you all. Hope that the autumn will be a little easier on you all x #WotW
Thank you Louise, I think we all deserve a peaceful stress free Autumn, fingers tightly crossed.
You have so many reasons to be proud of your kids.
Boo has done great with her GCSE’s and Star really is a Star! She has been through so much and the waiting sounds awful.
Good on you for being proud of yourself too! You should be, you have dealt with more than the average person lately. x
So many fab reasons to be proud and so you should be!
Good luck to Boo on starting college, I hope she loves it.
Also hope that you manage to get some answers for Star and get to bring her appointment forward.
I hope this month is a positive one for you all. xx
That’s wonderful Anne! You have so many reasons to be proud. Well done to Boo with her results and all the best as she starts college. Fingers crossed you get some answers for Star. Your kids sound terrific! They looked after things so well when you were recovering. I hope you have a great month ahead.
