We had a very pleasant brunch today at All Bar One with Janis and Gerry, who are looking forward to becoming first time grandparents in four weeks. We had a fun chat about baby names, choosing what to be called as grandparents, family anecdotes and lots more.
Unfortunately we heard some upsetting news from Cat this evening. Cat’s lovely Uncle Dave has been increasingly unwell and frail since the beginning of the year. The doctors couldn’t work out why he was so ill. Christine and Gerry, Ally and Cat have all been visiting him to give him a helping hand. His two sons came home from Australia and Dubai to look after him. He was finally diagnosed with terminal cancer a few days ago and was transferred to a hospice this afternoon. He died just a couple of hours later. I feel so sad that we will never see him again, because he was such a brilliant and kind man. We have such fond memories of spending time with him at Reid family celebrations, and in Ullapool last summer when Dave coped best out of all of us on our turbulent trip on the Waverley.
