Whirlwind of a Christmas. All the darkness of thought, the trepidation, all washed away by the lightness of spending it with loved ones. Family and friends, all helped to warm the feelings. Jenny came round too and that made it all feel so right. Massive ups, some downs, the kind of roller coaster that makes your balls ache. And still you just want to stay on...
But. Early here in the morning, first morning of a young New Year, after a gentle, make-do, bring a plate of food, village hall party, and I'm sitting here on the sofa. Kids in bed. Sister-in-law camped out upstairs. My family all gone home. Jenny and her kids - the same.
All alone.
Except, I know I'm not. It's just the beer talking.
Missing Kate. Missing Jenny too. One head full of feelings, confusions - and Jack Daniels.
