My word is ...
This year my MIL visited for the festive season which is lovely although rather stressful in the run up to her arrival - I always feel that I have to hoover & dust everything! The luckily cats escaped this cleaning madness ...
On another note I found out just before Christmas that an aunt had died in the summer and no-one had told my sister or myself. We now feel guilty and hurt that we were not able to pay our respects but I keep reminding myself that we weren't to know so it can't be helped now.
So there we are - the two sides of family. Let's hope for more lovely family time next year.
Happy New Year, dear reader.
Lovely word, though that's a sad side to it, too. As you say, you couldn't possibly have known, so do try not to feel guilty, though it must still hurt. Glad you enjoyed the festivities, and hope your home passed the cleanliness test! Thanks very much for sharing with #WotW x
