Yesterday was a strange day. Started very warm, dry and still. Finished very wet, cold and stormy.
It was also one of those moods swing days. It started really well with my son in great form. Then one Family movie later it had suddenly swung to tears and dark hearts. Movies which clearly advertise bereavement in the description can be planned for or better still avoided. It’s the ones which suddenly drop these on you without warning which cause the trouble. From a happy family on a trip of a lifetime to suddenly a young family trying to cope with the sudden death of the mum. I can’t remember seeing that bit in the synopsis. It really hit me, lord knows what it did to my young boy. It makes you feel like a completely incompetent parent … why didn’t we opt for the Scooby Doo movie.
But yesterday we had an unlikely saviour, the rain. After two months of completely dry weather the heavens opened. Stood outside in the rain, being almost blown off our feet in the wind. It just felt great. Seeing my son getting drenched to the skin and loving it. Today I just love the uplifting rain.

Sending you a big hug. Its so very, very hard going through a loss of someone so close to you. It may seem hard to say you need to cry but you do. But you also need a hug. So here is a virtual one. ((–))

That’s only the second hug I’ve had in two years. The last one was over a year ago from a 6ft 6 inch policeman (a close friend). So the hug is really appreciated. Thank you.

Oh my that is so hard. I know how it feels though, after my father died when I was 23 I never even got that, so I do understand but its so needed. ❤
