Nothing much had caused it just a series of little things, 2 of them being our daughters purchasing their first homes just before Christmas and the little worries that come with it, helping them clean, set up, helping with purchases, answering endless questions, watching them stress over things whilst telling myself to stop stressing. So we shall be empty nesters at the end of this week, exciting but sad at the same time.
Don't ever feel guilty, Kate, not when you are doing so much for your family. And before you go to sleep tonight think of something that makes you smile. Love Cath xx
