I wished I could pick you all up and bring you to the lovely place so relaxing, I keep thinking about George, wishing he could enjoy this with me. Guilty feeling will not go away, thinking about him, and hoping he is ok, there is internet on the beach so in touch all the time. My friend of 35 years arranged all this for me with help help of my children, they keep telling me not to worry when I speak to them, wish I could just shut off and not think about him so hard. Love to you all xxxxx

[doglington]

Just enjoy it !!!! You are there. Let yourself be there !!!

See you soon. Lots of love, Jean xxx

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to doglington]

Thank you Jean can’t wait to meet up xxxx

[Satt2015]

Bless you Yvonne, of course you can’t shut off but I’m so so so proud of you taking this fabulous opportunity! Respite breaks are absolutely necessary so as we can carry on and on and on! Of course you wish George was with you, but he isn’t, and I’m sure he is being very well cared for! So you must try and relax into it and try to have fun! Equally I really do understand your guilt! We all continually worry about our loved ones it’s normal x 🏄🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️✈️⛵️🏖💕

[Yvonneandgeorge]

Amanda you are an amazing person can’t wait to meet up xxxxx

I am very lucky our children are wonderful xxx

[Marie_14]

Yvonne wish I had a friend like that! It looks so nice. Thank you for the photo so we are all with you in spirit? I know the guilt feeling. We all do! It's horrible but preferable to you becoming ill? George needs you well so enjoy your break.

Thank you Marie xxxx

[Auddonz]

So glad you wrote this post Yvonne. The past few days have been horrible for me, no where to go no one to talk to I miss him so. Wherever you are, I wish I could join you. Rest easy my friend. There are times I wonder if I will make it,

[doglington in reply to Auddonz]

Oh, Audrey. How sad. I have also been tearful - although not alone - but it still feels lonely.

I wish you were near London. At least we could cry a bit together.

Big hug, Audrey, love from Jean xx

[Auddonz in reply to doglington]

Thank you Jean. Just knowing someone s out there that understands and gets it helps.

Hugs and love back,

Audrey

[Auddonz in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

Have to make a change in my life since my decision to move in with my daughter is not working out well. Have to make a change.

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Auddonz]

Well only you can do that, so pick yourself up dust yourself off and make some changes lovely lady, 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[Auddonz in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

Trying to decide where to go Yvonne,

[abirke]

I suppose there'll be plenty of time to mourn later....but like NannaB says to do, have a good time where you're at

Dubai...is it hot and steamy or straight up deserty?

[Yvonneandgeorge]

No it’s lovely and hot xxx

[Nanny857]

That beach looks very inviting. Enjoy the 'now' moment because before you know it will be time to get on that flight home and I'm sure you are longing to see George. One little request, can you bring some sunshine back, I'm so fed up with all this snow and the cold winds, brrrrr 🌨🌨🌬🌬

Lots of love Yvonne.

Nanny857 xx

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Nanny857]

Will try and send lots of sunshine to you all xxxx

[aliciamq in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

Enjoy - I know it's beautiful there. My niece is a teacher in Dubai. Thanks for the sunshine!!! We had a glimpse of it in Detroit today!!!!

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to aliciamq]

So pleased you managed to receive the sunshine xxx

[Spiralsparkle]

Ah looks lush indeed

Hope you are able to enjoy some of your lovely holiday. Lots of tlc and self care.

Easier said than done not to worry, especially when you are a full time carer but try to take some moments to switch the brain off from worry. Don't feel guilty.

[Yvonneandgeorge]

Every time I try to switch of I still end up thinking about Home, have a rest laying on the beach, counting the days to come home. Xxxx

[Heady]

Least you are lying on that beach with the sun pouring down on you. Nothing like sun rays to take away a "few" worries.

Hopefully see you very soon.

Lots of love

Anne

[Yvonneandgeorge]

Yes true Anne loads of fireworks tonight, can’t wait to meet up . Yvonne xxxxx

[Katiebow]

Enjoy the lovely sunshine, sand and sea, it must give you some peace knowing you have your children making sure that George is OK. I have a weeks respite in March but our boys live too far away to step in, even when Ben is in the nursing home I would feel easier going away for a few days if they were there to make sure he's OK. Friends will pop in but it's not quite as reassuring as family so I think I will stay locally and just enjoy meeting up with folk but will pop in to see him ( not every day I keep telling myself) Have been to Dubai several times as Ben had to go there quite often with his work, I used to fly out to meet up with him for a long weekend and we would fly home together. We mainly stayed in the Hilton Hotel on Jumeirah Beach, where are you staying?

Love Kate xxx

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Katiebow]

We have been traveling around our last hotel iAL HAMRA in Ras Al Khaimah on the beach next door is the Waldorf. The Waldorf looks amazing , our hotel is very nice, everyone is so friendly. X. You have a good break lovely lady you deserve it. Yvonne xxxx

[Katiebow in reply to Yvonneandgeorge]

Have you been to the top of thr Burj Khailifa yet, worth it if you can deal with heights. Xxx

[Yvonneandgeorge in reply to Katiebow]

No Katie we didn’t do that xxxx

[raincitygirl]

Yvonne, so smart of you to get a respite - and you are strengthening yourself to be great for George on your return! Smart girl=loving girl

[Yvonneandgeorge]

Thank you feeling refreshed and ready to go home xxx

[Karynleitner]

Enjoy the beautiful place for all of us. Thanks for the picture . It really is uplifting .

Isn’t it wonderful that with technology you are able to check in with home and be assured George is doing fine.

[Yvonneandgeorge]

Yes so happy I am able to check up every day on things at home xxxx
