Newsletter for Childless Parents, Spring 2021

Newsletter for Childless Parents | www.tcf.org.uk 2 Hi everyone. I hope you are all OK as we battle through these difficult conditions. I don’t think anyone would have thought we would still be having to lockdown a year on, but that’s how it is at the moment. I’ve got so used to working from home I don’t know how I am going to cope with being back in the office. I like it, and so does my dog Sammy. He likes having me home. It’s been very cold here recently too, although the area I live in does escape snow most of the time, the joy of living on the east coast. Having said that I do like to see a bit of snow when you don’t have to leave the house. It makes being indoors warm, cosy and safe. It’s creeping up to the 6th anniversary of losing my Oliver. I don’t know where the time has gone, how can I not have seen him for almost 6 years? I always struggle in February and this one is no different, but as the years go by I have learnt my triggers and learnt how I should deal with these dates. I have my big birthday in August and wanted to have a big fundraiser party so I could feel Oliver was part of it too, but I have had to postpone until next year, you just don’t know when things will be back at a more socialising stage. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this newsletter. I really appreciate the support. Remember if you would like something printed please get in touch.
