Yeah, well. So.
I've been sleeping like crap lately, which should come as a surprise to no one, myself included. Mum's been in a right state ever since Easter, and for once I can't say I blame her. It's as if her Boggart has come true for someone else and now it's only a matter of time before death comes calling at the Burrow. Merlin forbid.
Normally Mum can rely on me to be the strong sensible one with my feet on the ground in these circumstances, but sadly I've lost my moorings as well lately. In my case it's more to do with how the circumstances have affected Dad. He's in as bad a state as Mum, and frankly it's scared me more than I care to admit. It's hard to explain, but I didn't realise until recently how much I rely on him to keep his head when others are losing theirs. But then I feel as though I've simply got to be strong for both of them, and the trouble with that is there comes a point when I simply can't do that any more, because. Well. It's not that I need to be 'weak' exactly, more that I need to be able to let my guard down and let someone else know I'm as terrified as they are.
I suppose what I'm trying to say with all this babbling is that sometimes when life is all to cock, it's good to know you've someone you can be scared to.
