Dear In Laws 1

Dear Eric and Lesley
I was so sorry to hear that our concerns and queries on your progress thus far on the move are making you feel depressed and pressurised.
With the fact that you have by now had over a year to both pack and make the necessary arrangements for your - according to us - imminent move to Johannesburg from Bushmans River we were unaware that you would find our queries on your porgress so difficult. Also our thoughts of what will happen to you, your dogs, possessions and cars in the event that the house is repossess and you lose everthing.
Quin is so right we should all continue to play happy families as if nothing is happening except for Erics 'poor health' issues and pray.
We all know how much of a negative nancy I am and a complete heathen when it comes to praying to God for help, i mean who am I to think that He has bigger things to worry about, such as potential wars, poverty and such. Of course he is going to swoop down any moment now and pay your bond in full. Maybe he will even give you a bonus to live off of in your old age for being such diligent prayers? Gee I really hope so!
Thank you so much for also painting Liam and myself as the cruel villains to Quin and Des-Marie.
Its always great to have people who you normally see eye to eye question your motives - and Im talking about Quin now not Des-Marie by the way just in case you get that confused.
I mean of course your both grown ups that can handle your own affairs. After all thats how we landed up in this situation after all. It wasnt your decision to sell of and cash out all your money and start a business in a one horse town against ALL and everyone you knows advise. It wasnt you who has overprices your home for all these years so that no one would buy it and it was not your decision to leave it to the last moment to throw the whole "were losing the house so Im going to cancel the medical aid so we can pay for the house" email last year, throwing in the "what will your mother do with her bad health" bit for fun.
Quick segway on that.... You cancelled your medical aid without telling anyone before this and then reinstated it making it way way more expensive than it had been. Lets call it R4000 is not near the amount of your bond which is in the region of R20 000. A fact that seems to be lost on certain people in this family.
Quin is right your grown ups and if you lose everything - in his words "so be it"

Im just wondering who will pick up the pieces when that happens considering how many thousands of kilometres they are away from all of us?

Who will be the one with not one but two sad, angry, upset old people. Why should we be worried about what your plans are in this event and how you will get to Joburg or if you even will be able to get here in the first place?

We should not worry about how you will cope with living in Joburg when our nearest shop is 20 min away BY CAR as not only are neither of you physically able to walk that far its not safe for you to walk that far either.
