Moving Forward:
Two to three years on

I was so glad to be here for my daughter’s wedding last summer. And still glad to be here to look after my grandson. I have had to retire, still lots of fatigue but just taking each day as it comes. I haven’t been exercising and have put on weight over the winter but intend to change that: time to get moving!
