Merry Christmas
I had no signal on my Blackberry yesterday so couldnt email you.
Anyway, I hope you got what you wanted as pressies. As I said previously, I had no idea what you wanted so I resorted to cash and vouchers. A bit rubbish I know, but the best I could do.
Anyway, I got a couple of nice pressies, with the best being a hand made wooden cufflink box.
I am off to town in a moment as there ois (believe it or not) no more snow here so nothing to do.
Yesterday morning there was loads, but in the afternoon the temperature rose to 8 and it started to rain!!! The result is that this morbing there is only a layer of slushy stuff, granted about four inches thick, bu good for nothing.
Still, a couple of hours in the shops will help pass the time.
Anyway Matt, I hope you had a nice day yesterday and that today is also great.
Love you lots.

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas
It's Christmas Day and we are all thinking of you and wishing you a very Merry Christmas. It is very difficult for all of us who cannot see you at this time of the year.
Granddad and I hope you have a really nice time today wherever you are. We love and miss you so very much.
We will never give up hope that one day you will either call us or come to see us and that you are able to read these messages from us.
God Bless. All our love to you.
Grandma and Granddad xxxxxx

Christmas Blues
No doubt you haven't yey seen this blog, but hey ho.
I am sat here, surrounded by feet of snow, approaching Christmas, and feeling particularly down.
I miss you so much and want to be with you and Sami. Christmas is a time that affects us all the most.
Still, must grin and bear it I suppose.
If per chance you do read this, rest assurred that not a day goes by when I do not think about you both, and miss you terribly, and today is almost the worst! .
Take care, merry Christmas and love you lots.

Back from my short break in Egypt now. The weather was hot (well, 25C) and sunny, and I have a nice tan.
The place was full of Russians; they must of out numbered every other nationality, combined, bu at least four to one!! Still, nice to be somewhere not full of Brits.
Whilst there, I visited the pyramids and sphinx in Cairo. I took a few piccies so will upload them when I remember to bring my camera in.
Christmas is fast approaching and I have no idea what to get you. I don't really want to resort to sending you money, but I may have to.
I have just a couple of days left at work then off until 5th Jan. I think I told you already that I am going to visit Adi, Jenny, Harry and Sam.
I heard from Ric Lamberts boy (Callam) that you have my mobile number. Give me a call if you can, I would love to hear from you.
Anyway son, I hope all is well and miss you loads.
Love,
Dad xxx

Tried to See you
Both Granddad and I want you to know that we have tried to keep the communication lines opened through Ya Ya and De De as that was the only way we could find out how you are. All we have previously been told by De De is that he did give you our letters.
As their telephone does not accept calls from our phone anymore. Needless to say this has upset us greatly and we cannot understand why they have done this to us.
The last time I called I spoke to Ya Ya to ask her if she would speak to your mum to see if your mum would relent and allow us to see you.
Ya Ya doubted if mum would relent as Ya Ya said she went throught the same thing with her father and family and did not see them again.
As I said previously, I was not able to make any further contact to get the results as their phone would not accept calls from us.
Because of this I telephoned your mum last night to ask if she would give her consent for both of you to meeting us somewhere so we can see you.
Mum's response to me was' I dont think so as he does not want to see you.'
Mattie,No matter what others may say or do to prevent us seeing you, We cannot nor will we believe what they say.
We will never ever ever forget you, we will not stop loving you or stop trying to make contact with you. You are too deeply embedded in our hearts and minds and are still part of the family as far as we are concerned.
The following is Just a little poem I found on the internet
