I am having a very sorry for myself evening.
Husbands gone out for a couple of hours, youngest is in bed and I am feeling a bit sad and lonely.
I visited Mum today and she was tearful, very rare for her. She looks so lost and lonely today and seems to be looking for something or someone, but hasn't the words to say what or who.
Hugs and kisses were exchanged and she looked at me with such a sad face, not even one smile today, that's never happened before.
I wondered if Mum ever feels lonely and feels that awful emptiness that comes with it, feeling out of the loop and excluded, just looking in at others going about their lives.
Sorry this is such a self-indulgent post, but its how I feel today, I am sure tomorrow will be better, I'll pop in on Mum again tomorrow and make her smile somehow!
Thanks for listening
Kathleen
