I worked a 12.5 hour shift today. I had intended to drive to my home town tonight to collect my children from the northeast and drive back to the northwest tomorrow with them. When I returned home, my partner said that a box had been delivered and that's she had placed it in my studio room. So, I went upstairs and WOW, my children were sitting there waiting for me. My partner had taken the day off work and embarked upon a 7 hour car journey to collect them. That has to be the best Christmas present that I could have received. the boys will be with me for five days whilst I am off work enjoying my holiday (I've been working all over Christmas.) That is a wonderful end to my year at a time when I was feeling quite low after missing the boys. I'm feeling so happy tonight,
