At the time it was sad, but things did go back to normal. He found me when he was grown up as well.

I took the Yellow pages and telephone anyone I thought might have an empty cottage and a wonderful lady who owned an estate in Dorset where we were living at the time had a derelict farm cottage which I rented for some months to give me breathing space.
No one had lived in the cottage for years , I scrubbed every floor with bleach and scythed a path through the knee high grass outside and settled in with my baby visiting my unconscious husband in Dorchester hospital every day.

Things were never the same, now years later I have reached a time of peace at last
Meg, you put my problem to shame. You are a very brave person.

That's extraordinary, Meg! I've always recognized fortitude in you, but I had no idea how that came about. You must have an incredible sense of self-reliance and accomplishment. It's nice to know that you have so much relaxation and peace.

Blimey Meg.....I'm in awe. We all have a story to tell and yours is amazing. What a strong woman you are.
