Family

Of all the things we take for granted, I think "family" is one of the biggest!

It's only when you don't have them close at hand that you realise what they mean to you.

After nearly 19 years in Ireland, people still ask me if I miss Scotland. And my answer is still the same.

"No....but I miss my family!"

Communication has come a long, long way, and Skype is a great way of keeping in touch. But nothing is the same as having my Mam, or my sisters here with me.

Today I am grateful to Aer Lingus for delivering not just my mammy, but my sister and her hubby to me.

Two days of coffee and shopping with Mam and Susan, and then a further two weeks of.....coffee and shopping with Mam!!!

And did I mention the cuddles???

Gratefully yours.
