Sunday, sweet Sunday, with nothing to do...
If you remember that one, girls, then you're older than you look!!
I spent today in abject terror as my beloved, and only son, abseiled for charity down the concrete face of a dam.
Yes, he made it, and yes, he looked as if he was riding a horse backwards on the way down... And yes, I blubbed- real tears streaming down my cynical old face- until he made it to a height where I guessed he would survive if he fell- and then I gave him what for- shouted and whooped for all I was worth (and a bit more) Still, for those of you interested in raising money for kidney disease and its cure- he raised a bundle.
Thank you to all the young- and not so young people out there today who put their own fears to one side to raise money to help those whose fears are always with them.
It's people like you who make the difference.
Thank you
Susan
