many things

[boodie]

All day on monday I kept getting the feeling that something was missing,
like I was waiting for something or someone, and then about eight I realised what it was, I was waiting for my Mum to call and wish me a happy birthday.

Mum died almost 3 years ago, and I still haven't gotten used to her not being around, Mum never missed calling me on my birthday, even when I was living on the mainland, and that was the only birthday, right up until she died, that we never saw each other.

I wonder, does it ever get any easier?


And on another note, you may remember that I said my Landlord was running off to China for several years for contract work, well today I get to meet the Property Manager who will be taking care of the rent and maintenence, I wonder if that means I'll finally get my bathroom, or whether I can kiss it goodbye.

*footnote: He's a nice guy, I'm to send him a list with everything that needs doing and he'll see to it, including my Bathroom!!

I am not sure if it ever gets easier...when someone so close to us die, they will linger, and that is lucky, don't you think? Wouldn't it really be worse if we just forgot them?

Getting used to not having them around

Teddy, My mum has been gone for 13 years now. Yes, you do get used to it. When she first died, there was just an enormous hole in my life, it affected everything. Now, I still think of her and still miss her immensely, but I am not as inconsolable as I was. I have learned to live with the hole in my life.

I cried all the way through my recent wedding because she (and my daughter) were not there with me.

However, I also accomplished something I have wanted to do for years. When Mum was here in England, she had a great photo taken at Lincoln Cathedral of her, in profile in front of the cathedral. Last week I went there and stood in the same spot and had my photo taken.

I cried all the way though that too. 8)

Tis good crying though, I miss her, I love her, but I will always remember, and that's a very nice thing.

yes, I wouldnt ever want to forget her, i'd just like it to stop hurting so much, things likr birthdays and even jokes, i'll hear one and i'll still think 'I must remember to tell that one toMum'

even phone calls, the phone will ring and i'll swear its mum, or i'll go to pick upo the phone and call her.
