Pause For Thought
A few days ago littlest Bottley, my Arthur, turned 18 and with it came the realisation that I am no longer the mother of two children I am now the mother of two adults. Asked what he wanted to do to mark the occasion he decided he’d like to take his Grandad, who is also Arthur, for a pint.ÌýÌýThis was a big deal, partly because my lad isn’t a great fan of new experiences or places but mostly because there were times when we weren’t sure we were ever going to get to this particular rite of passage.Ìý
Ìý
It was a good while ago that my lad’s Grandad, my Dad, sat in one of those little rooms while his consultants talked diagnosis, treatment and time frames, and since then all of us who love him have learnt a strange, new language we never thought we’d need to, the difference between radio and chemo, MRI and CT, we are all so fluent I think anyone of us could audition for a part on Casualty. In those early days we are all very worried of course, unsure of what the future had in store, my Dad was worried too but also philosophical and when asked would say ‘I’d just like to see my Grandkids grow up.’ There’s a hymn called ‘Great is thy faithfulness’, it’s got a great tune, and words that get me every time, the final verse starts ‘Pardon, for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide’ but this is the line, ‘Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.’ A prayer of sorts that asks for the fortitude to face a difficult day while faithfully holding on to a belief that better times will come.Ìý
Ìý
Dad’s doing well, some routine maintenance here and there, but ok. And as Arthur junior, his youngest Grandchild, led Arthur senior to the bar, and said ‘C’mon Grandad what you having?’, photographs were taken, a bemused bar man looked on surprised at how emotional a group of people seemed to get over a couple of pints, my Dad, winked at me and smiled.ÌýÌýThe tears soon turned to laughter though, when after patting down his pockets my son, Arthur Junior turned to me and said ‘Mum, can I borrow twenty quid?’ He might be all grown up but somethings never change.
