We are all in this together



With this our way through life is meant. For some life is like a race, although I cannot see what their goal might be. Hopefully it is not being there first. We will all reach the finish, sooner or later. For me, personally, it is like being on an endless ocean, in a boat. I want my boat nice, a big one, so that many people can be there, I think it is colourful. :) I don’t follow a direction, or have a motor, instead I have some sort of sail that will help lead us where the wind wants us to go. 
 
There are so many different boats, some ugly on the inside, some awesome, some only with a single seat (sounds dreary to me), some fast ones, some making big waves, some even endangering or sinking other boats and their crews, and I have also seen several boats sink and felt like sinking in my boat too, as there was a lot of water in it. 

You can guess that at different times and even simultaneously hubby and Amy were the ones who helped getting all that water out of the boat again. At different times, Amy and hubby have been captain of my ship, as much as they could, because I think a boat might appear strong, as if it could withstand any storm, but in reality boats can be pretty fragile and delicate, easy to break, and so easy to be separated from other boats so that they are lost.

You might wonder if I am completely nuts now, or if there is another reason behind my writing about boats. There is. Granny is not good at the moment. I am so completely worried about her, after rather minor surgery –which was not even really cancer related – she had an allergic shock and has been comatose ever since. The doctors have tried to wake her up, and physically she is healing, but she has not woken up yet. I am talking about two weeks by now.

Granny’s boat is not deserted at all, but it looks fragile and empty, and it is such a beautiful boat. I love people who are open and friendly because they mean it, granny is like that. I don’t know all the people that stayed on her boat, but those who I met have always been positively impressed by her and those who come closer love her. 

I want granny’s boat to go slow, so that there is a lot of time for all of us together. I want her to see Tilda, baby and our family grow up, have fun with us, and the kids would love to have more time with granny who has always been so awesome at steering her ship. Right now, my boat is definitely floating a little more than I like to. I am so worried, sad that this silly thing happened to her, and I am sorry to bother you with this but couldn't really stop myself. 

We are currently at the seaside, waiting for a call and could be back with her any time. We have watched some ships, so that might explain a lot, and the metaphors made it easier to sort my thoughts.



Anyways, 
my Captain calls me to bed,

wishing you all a wonderful week, hopefully with some good weather, 
so that your boats go where you want them to. :)

    1. Hi Roz, thank you for your support, it means so much! I am a bit better than I was when writing the post. We were told by all to spend the few days away, as we originally wanted to. But I still have a very bad conscience for being at the seaside … which also means no news from hospital. :( However, hugging Tilda for you was awesome. :)

      hugs

    1. Hi Jan, I am really floating a little, but having Tilda and hubby to care for is soooo good right now. I mean, I do love that in general, but now it is so important to have that, because otherwise I’d go right crazy. It is this waiting for her to wake up that is wearing me down a little. However I am hoping that this is just a matter of time and I try to think about all the good things we will do when granny recovers.
      I hope so much that all is well for your dil and grandbaby. It won’t be long now until the little one will be there and bring so much joy (and some sleepless nights :) ).

      hugs and love

      Nina

  7. I'm sorry Nina. I know first hand what it is like to see someone ill and not be able to do anything about it. Granny would no doubt be happy to see that you are off with your growing family enjoying time together.

    1. Hi Willie, granny is so important and loved, and ever since her illness started I was not sure about how I am able to cope with her situation. I am devastated, doing something, like holding her hand helps a little, but seeing her like this is horrible. Willie, I am so sorry that you went through such an experience, not being able to do a n y t h i n g is awful. You are right, granny always wants us to enjoy the time we have, she has made that clear when she was ill before, and it was good that we went, we had fun, even though we always had an eye on the phone.

      hugs

    1. Hello Ni Na

      My name is Ray and I am new to your blog. So far I am very impressed. You're use of boats here in the points you want to make is excellent in my opinion.
      Some move slow. Some move fast. Some have a lot of problems. Some don't. Some go into rough seas a lot, some don't. Some are beautiful to look at. Some are not

      I had a special relationship with my grandparents too. I loved them dearly. I hope Granny pulls through.

      My wife and I have had a DD relationship for about 4 years. It has helped our marriage a lot. I sometimes try to get suggestions from a woman's point of view. We do the whole nine yards with punishment and maintenance spanking, boot camp, and corner time.

      As a matter of fact we just got back from boot camp a couple of weeks ago and it went great.

      Well, gotta go. Nice talking to you

      Ray

    2. Hi Ray, welcome and thank you for your kind words. We are still waiting for better news here, but we try to be hopeful, because granny is strong and is too feisty not to wake up again.
      I can only agree about all the good that happens in a dd relationship. Once baby is there hubby and I want to have the physical part of that back, as it has helped us here such a lot too. Thank you for stopping by.

  9. Hi Nina, :) I have all of you and your Granny in my prayers and thoughts. Is she doing better by now? It is a very tough thing for sure.

    I am glad that you were talked into going to the sea. It is good to go off and try to have some fun, in the midst of hard times- knowing that things are covered with the ones that we love who are ill. I have learned that it does a lot for ones spirits, and gives you the strength to carry on with helping and coping and loving as we'd like.

    GIANT hugs to you and a teeny tiny Tilda squeeze too! Take good care of you and that growing baby. I know that your hubby will see to that.

    <3 Katie
