hello blog,
I feel much happier and calmer today.
It is a mystery, this journey.
Sandra has asked us to send our ideas for "the book of remembrance for mum and dad" I like something simple. In loving memory " has such power and meaning when it is your own people "ain folk"
I don't feel strongly about it though.I have my own place to be with them and am unlikely to go to the crematorium on the anniversaries to see the entries.
I like to go to the graveyard where mum's ashes are buried when I am in Glasgow ( and a few of dad's too thanks to Sandra) and I have the five trees in Sefton Park.
I am looking forward to it being done as I think it is the very last thing to be completed ( famous last words)
Some day I would like to go with Andrew and Philip to New Cumnock and Galston Cemeteries to let them see where their Papa wanted to be, but also to see their Great Great Grand Parents graves.
I would like to go with them to Lambhill too to see where their Nana wanted to be,with her beloved dad.
"Day'll come hen"as grand-da always said.
I feel much calmer and happier today.I wakened early and the sun was shining I felt much more energy.
We went to the market for a wander and a coffee and I bought four Sierra plants. I paid 30 euro for the four of them I don't remember ever paying this much for plants before. I felt expansive probably because I feel so much better.
What is exciting about this is that they can stand very hot and very cold weather ,clever things.
They only need a little water once a week. I am sure Frank will keep an eye on them when no one is here.
I am waiting for a new charger for my camera then I can download the pictures and put some on the blog and facebook too.
John has been to Armando and is feeling much better since his treatment ,he has one more later this week. he has gone the the hairdresser's today for a trim and to have his beard trimmed.
I will go to the hairdressers tomorrow and get tidied up I have been feeling very old this week.I want to look better for Sue's visit.Can't wait she is so cheerful and always makes us laugh.
Although she says she is missing her dad too and we can cry together- I love woman friends:-)
I know we will all feel the benefit of her being here,she is so easy to be with and loves cooking and chatting and,we can go for walks together. john can't do much walking now and it is good to have company sometimes.
In the mean time we continue to have sleepy hollow here since the girls left. John has been a great support and is forever kind. I look after him too. he needs more rest longer siestas earlier nights and it is good for him.
I know he is worried about Maureen and of course how her illness impacts on his children.
Life is forever challenging- enjoy the moment-we do not know what is next. extravagance
To-day is a good quiet peaceful day. I am grateful.
