Thank you to Jacob and Florence for their lovely Mothering Sunday cards – they mean the world . Jacob’s a ‘sorry’ card with a dog on the front .( apparently The Netherlands don’t do Mothering Sunday ). Florence’s a hand-made book all about my pond .
This is hard to write , but I never ever want them to think that Rosie is ‘favourite child’ because I write all this stuff about her ..me …my feelings .She certainly is not .I love them all equally and would do absolutely anything to keep them safe and happy. I write , because I want to keep her memory alive .The stuff I do doesn’t matter , it’s nothing , maybe writing it down is just brain gym for me .What matters is love and caring for people and being kind .
John and I are having a romantic morning clearing the kitchen and scrubbing 6 layers of grease of the top of all the cupboards ,in preparation for the paint .Steve Wright is on the radio , and he has just played ‘When I need You ‘ by Leo Sayer .I know it is a complete cheesefest of a song , and that Jacob and Florence will cringe , but the words are beautiful and are what I would like to say to Jacob,Rosie and Florence – all whom I love so much,it hurts.
Rachel, I have just been reading some of your entries, and I read the one about your friend who lost her family in the Tsunami among others, and tonight there was this article in the Observer http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/09/sonali-deraniyagala-wave-tsunami-interview I thought you might be interested in it.
Hope you and John are well and enjoying the renovations. Geraldine xx
