This is the Journal of B'Elana [©] ACE- Minister of Abbr. - Celebrating The Post 10th Birthday @ A58768988 << Vernissage Autumn is here >> Subject: 21 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by B'Elana [©] ACE- Minister of Abbr. - Celebrating The Post 10th Birthday @ A58768988   Posting 1 It's my son's 21st birthday today. 21 years ago, we had a lovely, sunny and warm October day. I remember it as if it was only yesterday. My husband went to Neu Ulm to visit his dad who was in hospital there. He refused to take me with him for fear the child would be born on the Autobahn. A wise decision as it turned out. Husband made it back just in time to see the birth of our first child. Today, it is a dull, grey and cold October day. My son is in a wet and cold army camp somewhere in deepest, darkest Bavaria. It is the first time that he doesn't spend his birthday here at home. I'd better get used to it, I guess. My husband is away in the Vogelsberg region, due to his job. My mother in law is in hospital (The same hospital weher I was 21 years ago). She had an OP today. I'm waiting for a phone call to find out how she is and how it all went. Depending on that, I may go for a brief visit later. My aunt is in hospital because she fell down the stairs in her house a few days ago. I'll call my mum later for news about my aunt. It feels meh today.

I remember missing my children the first time I didn't see them on their birthdays. It does get easier... and for your son, and special for your Auntie and mother-in-law Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: 21 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by B'Elana [©] ACE- Minister of Abbr. - Celebrating The Post 10th Birthday @ A58768988 This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 3 Thank you. My son will come home tomorrow (or so I hope), so it's not too bad. Having half the family in hospital is much worse, though.

I just called my m-i-l: she's only just back in her bed. She's OK but hasn't seen any yet so doesn't know whether all went according to plan. She's optimistic, though.
