    My eldest lives in Amsterdam, so far I’ve missed 2 birthdays and Xmas, hopefully I’ll get to see him this Xmas if he can get over.

    My other son is Autistic and only has one real friend, problem is he lives in Florida 🙁  So far we’ve had to cancel 2 trips so he hasn’t seen him since November 2019.  I can’t see me being able to take him over this year, it’s just not safe.

    People always say “Oh you’ve been to Florida how nice!” but in reality it’s anything but for me.  I only go as his carer as there’s no way he could manage on his own.  As for flying, being 6′ 5″ with v.painful mobility issues (and severe IBS) being stuffed into a plane for over 9 hours is absolute Hell!.

    Given my other current health worries I don’t think we’ll even be looking at going over until next year.

    Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
