A post dedicated to my Little Sis who gave up a week of her life last week and flew by herself into the unknown to offer help to her post-operative Big Sis.
If I was trying to put my sock on (still can't do that without pain), she was there putting it on for me. If I was feeling tired lying down and thought 'I fancy a cup of tea', her cheery head would pop round the door asking if I wanted a cup of tea. If I was having problems putting on my cardigan or t shirt, she would magically appear and help my arms through, if there was something on the floor that I started to bend down to pick up, there she was before me telling me not to do it. And it goes on!
Being newly addicted to Downton Abbey, I am beginning to realise what it is to have a lady's maid or a butler and a cook and a housemaid and nanny. She was all of those things rolled into one and we had fun too!
I hope she enjoyed herself too, I think so. It was very brave, though to come here not knowing what state I would be in and to look after me and my family with such good cheer, brightness and willingness. It took so much pressure off dh and the children had a ball in a week that would have been very hard for us all otherwise.
A big THANK YOU!
