Waiting well??

Much has happened, but my own health remains static and sluggish. This a rare foray to the PC. I'm now officially retired from Bristol City Council, but had the opportunity last week to visit some of them for a final presention. I spoke of my 20 years with them, remembering the fulfilments, but admitting to the frustrations, and the hope that the latter did not cloud their memories of our times together.
This week has brought the good news of a UK settlement visa for Maki, ( he flies back to UK next Wednesday).
And then last night, the safe arrival of our first grandson, Jonathan Gorrea weighing in at 9lbs - all well and due home later today. They plan swift application for passport, still aiming for return to Albania by Easter.
So life goes on, even if my own part seems that of bystander. Waiting has its rewards. Lord, may I wait patiently for you.
