Ramblings of macathy
I have been reading back on some of my old blogs thinking of the past and how senior chatters helped me after the death of my husband. Writing blogs was something I would never of thought I would do at all ,always avoided writing as my spelling was never the best.Funny how you can change after something like loosing your best friend,I never thought life would be any good after that.Took a long time to realise I was ok on my own and that I was still the old me inside that just needed some time to get up and start to live again .Having the children helped a lot as I had to get up every day for them .
I once on here described life like a river that turns and bends as it moves along on its way to the sea.I think my river has had so many turns and bends in it hard to know which way it’s going at times.I am just grateful that I have my kids and grandchildren here on the same course as I am .
I am still in my bed in my room, but have had a few changes made.I now can see into the family room which makes it feel I am there with them all.One daughter and granddaughter have left home so only six girls here now lol but son has come home to live and also my daughters partner has moved in so numbers still the same lol
Sometimes sitting in my little world I forget how things are in the outside world with COVID-19. I can’t go out and at times wonder why people feel so bad when they can’t go out. My granddaughter works from home and only today she was telling her boss she doesn’t want to have to travel hours in a crowded train to go back into the city.I think her boss would like them to come in some days a week,so not sure what will happen there, she may have to one day go back.I know she worries about bringing it back to me and her little sister who has bad asthma.We have been lucky here in Australia the governments have handled things well people stayed home that was good.
I don’t know how things will turn out all I know is that love helps things along..So be kind to each other and if we can help someone through this hard time let’s all do it in whatever way we are able to. Love Mac

Great blog as per usual Mac. Great to read another of your blogs. Glad your family are all doing well. With what you been through and what you are going through, and what you have done for others I have read in previous blogs, you are an inspiration. xxx
Thanks gran but I don’t think I have done any more than yiu and others do.Hope life is still going ok for yiu and hope one day to catch with you on here.
I hear you loud and clear! I have not had the honor of reading anything from you but I find them and do a good read.
Losing a loved one is terrible, but what is harder, to me, is carrying on. My wife of many years passed a few years ago and I thought that life was over for me. Having a family to support you is lovely to be sure.
Thank you for your sharing
Thanks for reading my blog flyer and I hope that life is much easier for you now,it will never be the same but we dolearn to live with the missing of them.
I married when I was 17. He was my first love. At the age of 44 I was his widow with 6 children. He died one week before Christmas Eve. The youngest was 7 years then and when others enjoyed the school Xmas celebrations he just watched sadly. We celebrated Xmas the way their dad would have wanted us to do In those days, months and years to follow our love for each other made us stronger. Today all of the children our mothers and fathers and I am the proud grandmother of 15 young ones.
Great to hear kris grandchildren make you young again and I say nothing like having them around.
Good to hear from you Mac. It’s been a while.
Yes too long way hope your doing ok ?
Macathy, Really good hear from you and love reading your story. I didn’t have a computer when I lost my husband in 93 after 33 years. Like Kris I was 17 & so was he when we got married in 1958 and he was the only boy I dated . After he passed away we were living in Fremont , CA. and I moved back to Timonium, Md. where my daughter and her family lived and when my husband and I had lived before moving to CA. I was able to transfer to Marshalls here were I worked out in CA. and worked for them for a total of 17 years retiring in 2001. So when I joined S.C. in 2010 after getting a laptop and learning how to use well I have made some good friends on S.C. and like a lot of the members on here it is a place I still enjoy being a part of since I joined 10 years ago. Macathy do hope you will continue to come in here and write ok. Take care and stay well .
Thanks Marie good to see your still around,life has its way of helping you through the bad times thank God .
I’ve not seen you in a while Mac and it’s nice you’re back. I enjoyed your blog. I can relate to it as poor health keeps me at home these days although I’m not bedbound. I can understand other folk’s lives have changed drastically but for me , the dreaded bug has passed me by.
Glad to hear that Scorpio ,keep safe.
Cathy so nice to see you back in SC. You are truly an inspiration. Having the love of your family around to support you would be such a comfort. Thank you for sharing. Take Care, I hope to see you back in SC aagain.
