It's all good now
it was fraught when I was growing up, but I can see now that plenty of it was my fault and that since I was the first child it was understandable that they got things wrong with me, that they got right with the others.

Lots of happy memories though. One of my favourites is definitely my dad teaching me how to make jewellery (basic metalwork) and my mother's stories

All's well that ends well.

precisely
Being ill fixed a lot of things. Put them firmly in perspective- if you die right now, do you want to die still thinking 'they should have done this that or the other' or do you want to have good memories of all of the things they did do for you

Quite profound.
I'm ill at the moment. I have a cold.

same. Must be doing the rounds
or just the not wearing socks

I have socks on, yet I'm STILL ill.
This isn't fair.
