Saying Goodbye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saying goodbye\nreally doesn\u2019t get any easier. Dad has been working away for nearly a year now\nand I still hate saying goodbye. Oh I know I\u2019m going to see him again in just a\ncouple of weeks and it is far worse for the others, but I\u2019d much rather not\nhave to say goodbye at all. I went with Mum to take him to the airport, but I\nnow understand why she finds that so hard. Perhaps I\u2019ll say goodbye at home\nnext time where it\u2019s easier to have a really good cuddle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know Dad found\nsaying goodbye to Alfie this time very hard. Alfie is definitely aging and hard\nas it is Dad must wonder whether Alfie will still be ok the next time he\u2019s\nhome. Yesterday when Alfie had been out to the toilet and came back inside, his\nlegs weren\u2019t working very well. He got part way up the six steps to the kitchen\nand simply got stuck flat out on the steps and clinging on until Mum could help\nhim. He was quite shaken up, but fortunately was ok. Once he gets moving things\naren\u2019t a problem but first thing he can find it all a bit difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile back in Switzerland there has been a lot of snow again where we live. Dad had cleared the drive before he came over here and our neighbour has very kindly done it again so he can get home. He sent Dad the before and after pictures of what it looked like. There had been about 25cms or more of snow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad said when he left there was no snow round the tree at all as he\u2019d move it all. At least I\u2019m fairly certain there will still be snow when I get there in a couple of weeks. I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
