Friday
Last night we fired off an e-mail asking for full details of out friends mortgage and to be told just what they had done so far. It felt like we were a battle ship, sailing onto a enemy shore and we just opened up with our first real salvo of guns. I know this is really just the start but it feels good now to have started. We may regret all this in the future but we take comfort that we are doing the right thing by our friend and her son. They are wrong.
I still find it difficult to believe what's happened, and the compounding of such a terrible event by someone related to her. The wife put its this way, the sis she feels sorry for, she is mad, her husband however she despises. He's and intelligent guy, pandering to his wife's madness, offering her the lad as a comfort toy. Just writing that has made me feel sick.
Its normal to feel good at the first salvo, elated even. I've seen interviews with D-day veterans saying when they saw the bombardment of the beach area they worried a lot less, thinking that nothing could live under so much exploding ordinance. They were wrong but it got those brave guys up the beech. I expect that is how it will be for us.
Went to see Mutual friend this afternoon after school. We didn't stay too long, her daughter seemed a little fractious and tired, i didn't want the kids to fight. We chatted over a cup of tea. She very worried about it all but knows it is the right thing to do. She told us that her solicitor said that it would be a good to start collecting statements from friends, anything relevant. So me and wife will do one, granddad, Spit (who volunteered to do one), Maybe our friend the lecturer too, Dotty of course, maybe Mrs Garden and Armchair, see if Hotdog knows anything maybe, Fearful, maybe Godbotherer, im sure more i cant think of right now..
mutual suggested that the mystery white envelope that might or might not contain a hand written will (calling her sister paranoid) written right at the beginning of her illness when they told her she had a year to live. Should be passed to her solicitor for him to open. Seems a good idea.
