Hi Sharon & Suzywong,
Just found your posts and agree 100% on effect to the children. I have two sons 40 and 37yo, both have proved big help during my recovery and has renewed my belief in them that they are caring and loving.
Having helped & supported one of them recover from drug abuse, he has repaid all the time & effort we spent with him.
Now when we are together as a family including the 4 Grandsons, it provides inspiration for me to battle the bloody Stroke remaining problems. It gives me great pleasure that the older , 21yo Grandson, is now helping me complete my latest race car creation and next year he will drive the car, if I don’t get my licence back. Gets me out of bed every morning to await his arrival at the workshop.
Its now nearly 18 months since my stroke, every day a new learning day to live with it but now there is a future and I have a big 80th birthday coming next year.
