WAKE UP CALL

In the early hours of saturday morning (2.15am to be precise) I was forced outa bed to answer my telephone.
It was my Father, determined to keep me give me popsicle toes in the sub zero tempratures, with his ideas on what I should be doing after my current contract expires.
Hes obviously given it a LOT of thought, and while I have my reservations, his support and encouragement is greatly appreciated (He probably wouldnt have guess at the time- because the conversation was punctuated with my yawns!)

Later as I lay in bed(wide awake until 5am- trying to defrost) I realised that my family has been the ONE constant in my life.
Dont get me wrong. People have come into my life, made an impressions & left. Friends, boyfriends and even a husband. Great impressions. Unforgettable Impressions. But now just impressions, memories in my mind. Each of them has moved on. As I have.

BUT my Mummy, Daddy & my Brother- they are ALWAYS there for me. Supporting and encouraging me. Accepting me and the methods in my madness.
No matter where I am-or what Im doing.
My Mother is my source of inspiration and a pillar of stength.
My Brother has in the last year & a half become my confidante & my BEST FRIEND.
My Father always comes through- even though there are times when this surprises me!

I KNOW I have never fully appreciated this- UNTIL NOW!

Why is it that some wake up calls just take longer to register???
