Holding Hands in Faith

I'm drawing tomorrow's card early, since I doubt I am going to have a chance in the morning. We didn't get to see my boyfriend's aunt on Wednesday and tried to go this evening instead. However, we were told that tonight was not a good time as she was very unwell and the doctor was there. It was suggested that she may not make the weekend, which has shocked everyone. We are going to the house tomorrow morning with my boyfriend's parents. Even though we will probably be knocked for six after that, we have an 8 year old's birthday party to go to, so tomorrow will be pretty full on, emotionally as well as physically.

I am not so sure what to think about Justice. It is often suggested (as it is in the accompanying book to the Celtic Dragon Tarot by D.J. Conway) that it concerns legal situations. My parents have put everything in the hands of the solicitors for the house move, so it does make me wonder if the card has anything to do with this. As soon as I saw it, I thought of the solicitor who is looking after our affairs, holding up a piece of paper or contract. I'd say that that is Mum and Dad standing there in front of him. They are holding hands, in faith, hoping that everything will be okay. Thinking of them standing there makes me feel a little emotional. I so want all of this to go through well for them. We need something to go right.

Since we are out early in the morning, my boyfriend and I have had a quiet night in. I have visited a few people in the same position as my boyfriend's aunt over the years, and knowing what it is like, I am not looking forward to going, even though I like and care about her a lot; seeing her husband and three teenagers is going to be tough. We both need to prepare for that as I am sure they will be beside themselves. Her cancer was only diagnosed at the end of June, so this is a lot for everyone to get their heads around. The little girl who's birthday party is tomorrow was in hospital today after falling over and hurting her foot. We haven't heard if she has broken it yet, so tomorrow expects to be a testing day all round. We are having a few drinks in the evening, which I guess we'll probably be ready for.
