Extraordinary!

In the space of just one week, Wendy has changed dramatically. She is no longer a 'baby'; she has transformed into a toddler. The change is remarkable to see.

I will be seeing the family tomorrow afternoon and will perhaps take a photo or two with the new camera. I have found out how to take mini-movies and to upload them to YouTube so its possible that live video action will be available soon.

Think of us tomorrow afternoon as it is the time of "the ordeal" when we have to answer malicious allegations made to people who do not comprehend the fight/flight response or who understand that like many animals, it is natural for defences to be made to perceived threats. Although adrenaline may roar through our bodies screaming at us to fight or take flight, this is one battle that will have to be won by saccharine and against all natural instincts. It won't be easy but the fact that we are innocent of what we have been accused of will have to triumph over lies as light always has to triumph over darkness.

In my head I am visualising the mighty Pope John Paul II roaring "Be not afraid! Be not afraid!" and I take heart from that great man who was probably the most influential person for moral good of the 20th Century.


Rest in Peace, Pappa.
