Mum And Dad Have Been Reunited For A Year

[MaNaAk]

Hello Everyone.

Mum and dad have been reunited for a year today it is very sad for us but dad is in safe hands. There is now a tombstone on his grave with flowers and I have put some roses in a vase. I won't be doing any clearing today as I will be doing what I
want. Other matters will be sorted out eventually.

It sounds as if you are moving on, with grace. Sympathy & best wishes. xx

 

[MaNaAk]

Thankyou Marcelle. I'm a bit tearful at the moment but I'm trying to get there. I'd give anything to give them one last cuddle.

Just a quick message to say I’m sorry for your loss, and to send a virtual hug. Definitely a day to apply some self care and do what you want. Take care...

 

[MaNaAk]

Thankyou Metalpetal. Other things will have to wait.

Hi @MaNaAk, I can understand your tears, good idea to clear the decks and have the day to yourself and remember Mum and Dad and the good times. Take care.

 

[MaNaAk]

Thankyou, you two. I've just come back from a lovely walk and despite two speeding cyclists making it impossible to walk along a narrow path I enjoyed the wildlife and the spring flowers that had been allowed to blossom during lockdown.

The walk gave me time to reflect and I realise that whilst I need to sort out dad's stuff ahead of possibly moving I have to do this. We have already done quite a bit and we have time to continue whilst I keep an eye on the property market and other plans.

I also have my special caring memories that only dad and I can share.

Hello again.

This afternoon I taught my Piano pupil on Zoom before going shopping and then I rounded the day off with a meal that dad would have liked from his friend's restaurant. The restaurant gave me free popadums which rounded off sad day.

I grieved for both mum and dad and I am sad to say that the grief came back. Yesterday a couple of friends phoned and a friend phoned today. I also had a couple of texts and later I will phone friends back to let them know how I am.

Hi MaNaAk,
Tough day, thinking of you ....
You mentioned roses for your dad at the beginning of your message, have you noticed on your walks how lovely they are this year. I have some red ones in my garden that have a lovely smell, but I have seen some gorgeous orange and pink roses on my walks. There is something special about them!
You made it through today and rounded it off with a special meal......you did great!

 

[MaNaAk]

Yes @Pepp3r I bought dark red roses for dad because he loved them and he used to put roses on mum's grave. I have noticed our garden roses are just blossoming and dad would have loved to see them and I am expecting a bumper crop of golden delicious apples so yes it's been a nice day.
