The ending of last weekend has not been my favourite, not by a long chalk. I, we, have lost one child and the merest inkling of a possibility of losing our other is beyond comprehension. And so as last weekend ended that was how it felt to me.
[Let me just insert a point here, I am trying to tell this story from my own perspective because this is my blog. That is not to diminish in any way the equal and great love and concern of my wife and my son's wife and indeed my 8-month old grandson (who was reacting to the escalating emotions and lack of access to his Dad).]
