Last night we had a lovely evening at Host with Parsy Kev,Anita and Philip.I wanted to makes sure the festive atmosphere continued for John. We had great food and happy conversations we all enjoyed Host. We went back to anita's and had cake and tea and presents for John. He was able to thell our friends about his birthday and his book and The Lightbody clock.They all enjoyed heaing about it.John had a great night.They were all very kind about dad,but I could not talk about it ..it was John's night.
To day I felt like going to The Anglicain Cathedral to the all saints day service.I thought it would give my grief some space. It was a beautiful service ,the music was magical and moving and the Dean gave a thoughtful talk about loss and lonlieness. The reading was the beatitudes which I love. I was quietly tearful during the service and did not take communion.I was too upset. The Anglicans in Liverpool do very well,a woman took the service and it was encouraging multicultural.I find the ritual comforting. they pass the peace nicely the clergy go among the congregation.
We bought a candle then walked to the Tate in beautiful autumn sunshine.We had tea and croissants and talked about the service.When we left we were heading home but the day was so beautiful and i felt good being out side,we walked along to the Ferry Terminal and took a ferry on the mersey. Loved watching the little sail boats bobbing on the waves and the seaguls swooping and diving ,one seagul reminded me of Jonathan Livingston Seagul gliding on the wind. Today is a good day and I miss dad.
