Oh what a lovely ........... weekend!

Last weekend I might have been writing about war in the title of this post but this weekend has been absolutely lovely and I can't stop smiling.  We really do seem to have turned a corner and, although I'm trying hard not to be too optimistic in case it doesn't last, the whole atmosphere in the house has changed.  Ash has been making jokes, smiling, laughing and teasing just like he used to and I'm just hoping we can hold onto it.  Things are obviously not back to normal and they never will be but with laughter back in our lives I feel I can cope with anything else that's thrown at us.  And to finish it all off, last night instead of watching endless episodes of Pointless and The Chase he chose to join me in watching the first ever episode of 'Columbo'.  Now some of you might think that's not much of an improvement on our usual tv viewing but in my book it was a huge step forward.  I'd decided I was going to watch it and gave Ash the option of watching it with me or, if he didn't want to, I'd watch it in another room.  He chose to be with me which was in itself lovely but he also engaged with the programme for the whole two hours, commented on the plot (what plot I hear some of you murmur) and laughed at all the bits he used to laugh at.  I think I have him back and it really does make all the difference but what I am really amazed at is how easy it has been to forget the past few weeks just because he's making me smile again.
