Yesterday was the first day of spring. A time of renewal.
Today is the first anniversary of the loss of my mother.
Not much has changed, and yet, everything has.
I’m still vulnerable to attacks of naivety, anxiety, and concerns I might have said or done the wrong thing, but I’m the end of the line. There is no more ‘I’ll hear what Mum has to say about it’. That doesn’t stop me wondering. The advice and guidance she offered throughout our life together is drawn upon every day. ‘This time will pass’, features often.
As a family, we have moved forward, and we’ve taken my mum with us.
As Lilo and Stitch say, ‘Ohana’.

Hugs, Laura, I know how you feel.
I’m completing on the house I’m buying today and yesterday wondered what my dad would have said. I think he’d be happy as I’m so happy here.
Lots of love Xxx
Thank you, Rebecca. I guess our parents wished on us what we wish for our children xx
With you all the way. They come with us and sustain us with their love and wisdom. Ce xxx
The year has whizzed by. I can remember everything so clearly. My mother may not be here, but she’s still with me. Thank you, Ce. xx
Laura, just know that however vulnerable or anxious you feel, there will always be a huge blanket of love & support around you to help you hurdle those wobbly moments. Thinking of you today, my lovely friend. A fitting & truly heartfelt tribute to your Mum Xxx
You have all been wonderful. Thank you, Jan xx
