Well here we are! The last few hours of what has been the worst year of mine, and so many people's lives. Hopefully the New Year will see an end to the damage Covid-19 has done to the world, and we can get back to some semblance of normality once more.
Losing my beloved Mum at the end of March has been the hardest and worst experience I've ever suffered. I was so lucky to have her in my life for almost 65 years. It doesn't make it easier to lose her though, maybe harder because we were so close. She's left a huge hole in my life, but I wouldn't wish her back to be suffering again as she did for the last two years of her life. I'm just so thankful we had that extra time for her to meet Nino and get to know him a little. Also for me to care for her and show her how much I loved her. My only regret is that she died alone in that hospital room. Because of this evil virus it couldn't be helped, but it made the pain of losing her so much worse. At least she's at peace and missed out on all the anxious times we've all had since the realisation of how devastating the virus has been.
We are now in Tier 4, which is basically lockdown so New Year's Eve will be so different for us all this year. I'll be spending it watching Dougie Munro, as I have all through the first lockdown and ever since. Him and his lovely family have kept me entertained and I'm looking forward to seeing the New Year in with a true Scot!

Praying with all I have in me that this next year will be a much better one!
See you all in 2021!
