Brilliant, utterly brilliant...best Hogmanay of my life, even though it will be spent with him asleep in bed and me in the living room having a wee dram toasting a new year and good riddance to the past year, the worst of my life by a country mile...5 full nights...the 1st time I will have not felt constricted by the tick tock of the clock during these small visits so far...At midnight, ill have a wee cry but it will be a cry of utter joy as I was scared to dream id even see him during this time.
New years day brings the football, grandad, daddy, uncle and son...The devotion to our team passed onto the next generation which I hope binds our relationship even stronger like it has for me and my dad. Xmas day had me living in fear of the pain I would endure on waking up but maybe now, I can bear it a little easier knowing the most important wee boy in my world will not be denied the relationship he deserves with me as ive fought this biased system with every sinew of my being.
In the last few weeks, i've even found myself consciously realising that I haven't thought about the situation for half an hour or so. this has really taught me to count my blessings, my mates and family have been fantastic, a good pal coming through today for a couple of ales tonight.
But most of all, I appreciate like us all that my laddie is worth fighting for the rest of my life if necessary....I'll not see you today son but I will see you for the rest of my life, I promise you..
Hey BD,
that's great news. I'm really happy for you π I'm sure it will be a great new year.
Let's hope 2015 is better than 2014.
Fantastic news - what a way to start the year π
