Turmoil
Why doesn't life always go the way you plan
I was sitting in our hotel room relaxing with my man
My sister rings my mobile with some awful news
There is a tough decision and now I have to choose
Dad's in hospital and mum put in local nursing care
I am in a quandary should we stay here or dash back there
I was desperate for a short break after my husbands cancer
We thought a four day holiday would be the simple answer
Yesterday was a day of an extreme high and low
Met up with an on-line friend I had a rosy glow
Then I get the bad news my heart is filled with gloom
Now I'm sitting wide awake in my hotel room
Made the tough decision to stay and have our break
They are being cared for and my sanity is at stake
Some people may not understand why I don't flee
The answer is simple - they really don't know me
