Went visiting today with big sis,
It was to visit my Dads uncle who is the last in the line of the old yins on my dads side,
He is a lovely guy and is so like my papa it is freaky (well he is his brother)
This visit was long overdue, like years and we always promised at every funeral we attended that we would come and see him,
It was his daughter i met a few weeks ago and she said "Tell that sister of yours to phone me it has been ages since my dad has seen yous"
So i kept reminding her to phone,
They only stay like 10 mins away from me how bad is that
,
Anyway we went and it was lovely,my dads uncle is 84 and is in the early stages of dementia,but today he was fine,
His wife is as irish as the Blarney stone and she is a lovely woman,sadly she is in the early stages of alzheimers and is a bit forgetfull,
Their daughter is brilliant and is always there helping out or runing them to hospital appts etc
she must have asked her daughter to put her earing in for her about 20 times
but apart from that she was fine,
Had a lovely lunch and the daughter kept trying to get me to eat more 
Lots of old pictures were looked at and old stories told,some of the family in Ireland as my dads name was "Coyle",
Their daughter is a gem and was close to my dad when they were growing up and she kept going on about how lovely he was,him and my mum,
She gave us a picture of my mum and dad that she had got 3 copies made of, one for each of us,how nice was that and another couple that we will get copied ourselves of my dad when he was young,
Her brother was there to and he is a really nice guy to and we found out he fosters kids now,
So it has been arranged the daughter and her brother are coming up to big sis's house next Thursday for a visit,me as well of course
, but because it will be during the day she will not get to see the kids, so another date will be arranged to go to her brothers house one Sunday where all the family usually gather and it will be great
,
The daughter is one of these really bubbly people that is always laughing and chatty and just makes you feel good,
I came away and i felt really uplifted and happy and if she has this affect all the time i think i will definately be visiting more

P.s. Meant to say she was waiting to hear word anytime about her becoming a granny for the second time and she said she would let us know
