Silence is golden or a sign of something deeper?

so I'm painfully aware that I haven't blogged since my pneumonia....not that anyone has missed it but I've missed writing and that's the main thing I guess.
Silence in itself can be precious but it can also be a sign that things are not great.
The last 6 weeks have been rather busy ....positively we've had a house full of guests with the in laws visiting from Goa and also brining with them Vinny our very own Indian Chef, a great few weeks econnectiing with Marc s parents And spending some quality time together .
It's also been a busy time work wise (when is it not!!) but positively we've just enjoyed an awesome inter schools music concert which I had the pleasure of M.Cing on Thursday.....Daniel was in the choir and Marc has also been supporting the choir so lots of family involvement but seeing a church full (300 people!) and 3 different schools coming together was just a delight. It's amazing what can be achieved when we work with others rather against or in competition!

It's also been a busy time trying to help support my beautiful, creative, music loving, science adoring geeky son with his various conditions..... it's a subject where I don't want to embarrass him but also want other families and parents to know that they are not alone....when life isn't particularly difficult it can feel like every one else has life all sewn up, that life is perfect and fun filled..but shined closed does we are all dealing with our own difficulties.
Trying to nail a specific diagnosis (well several diagnoses) has been tricky but we are getting there .....slowly ...trying to cope alone is tough sharing with others, just off loading is literally a God send .

If life is throwing you lemons...chop them up into manageable slices....share the, around and let's help each other make lemonade....
