Missing

This was to have been the day of visiting with C2 (child 2) for the first time in almost three years.


PJ lives in Vancouver, so we don't see them often, but they booked their flight, and we were to spend the weekend together, today being the main day to visit, with yesterday being the night flight in and tomorrow being the evening flight out.

But they totally wrecked their back and, therefore, are in considerable distress. You can't navigate to an airport and then sit in it in that condition, never mind sitting in an airplane for a long time, twice within three days, especially when you have trouble sitting for more than a few minutes at home.

Thus, we wait a little longer before seeing C2 again.

PJ is 47. Oddly enough, I had my major back attack at the age of 47. I was off work for two months, and I could barely sit at the table long enough to scarf a meal. Let's hope that C2 fares better, but they are having a very rough time at present.

I leave you with two more photos that I think I have posted within the last year. As it happens, they were both taken at the family cottage in the early 80s.

  1. I'm so sorry to hear this and I hope PJ gets fit again soon. Let's hope it's not too long before they can visit. Your family isn't doing too well right now.

  2. What a disappointment. I hope PJ's back is much improved and the visit won't have to be off the books for too long.

  4. I'm sorry PJ can't make the visit. I completely understand the issue. I, like Boud, hope it won't be too long.

  5. I hope that PJ will be able to visit you sometime soon. Back issues are very challenging.

  7. Flying is such a trail even without back pain! I hope they can visit you later this summer.

  8. So sorry to hear PJ's going through back pain. As you know, it's certainly an awful experience. Hope they can visit after feeling better. PS, I like their blue hair, though that was probably taken a while ago. The vintage shots are also cute!
