A little parcel arrived today... from Australia. A homemade necklace from my 4 year old nephew and 3 year old niece. They also made me a sweet birthday card. They (along with my sister and her husband) used to live with us but moved away a year and a half ago. I miss them terribly but still feel their love.
Another happy thing for today.... I went to the opthamologist who reports my diabetic eyes are in great working order with no signs of diabetic retinopathy. What a relief!! I've lived with the disease for 25 years now and always get a little anxious before my yearly appointment.
It is so hard to live far away from family, but the little treasures received in the mail just light up your day. Skype and WhatsApp have been wonderful for being able to video chat and text.
You must be doing something right to have had that condition for all that time! Nice that your sister took the trouble to include these articles for you!
Such GREAT news for your eyes. May they remain healthy all your days! i love this shot. so nice the way you suspended the necklace above the note. and a great diary shot too as a reminder of their absence and your love for them. what a long way to re-locate too!
Glad to hear about your eye as well. God bless you! :)
Glad you eyes are ok .... are you a type 1 or 2? my eldest is a type 1 diabetic.
