Thanks Julia! Woke up this morning to bright skies and sun! Woo hoo……. lasted about an hour or so before it started snowing again, grrrrr………
Could do with some of your suvvern weather up here! Last time this year it was about 20c here, this year about 0c all month. Think I need a new mantra as well!
Hugs,
Gavin
Glad that you both enjoyed the Eye Julia! Loving your new mantra as well, “if it snows don’t panic!”
Paying double for fast track to the eye Julia, hmmm. Sounds like a suvvern Landan type excuse to me to avoid the cold! Welcome to winter!
And that Siberian wind that is blowing through you right now Marion ends up over here! And from what I see on the news forecast, it just seems to get blown around, recycled as it were and just comes straight back through again! Grrrrrrr!
Hugs to you both,
Gavin
Julia….brrrrr….it is cold. I happen to be in Germany until next week (Mom issues) and can’t believe how cold it is. So glad that you had a good time.
Hugs,
MarionThank you, Marion and Gavin …
My new mantra … “If it snows, don’t panic” … “If it snows, don’t panic” … I like that
We both enjoyed the trip on the Eye. I was able to point out to Florence, from the top of the Eye, the bridge across the Thames where she’d suddenly decided to learn to walk (much to the amusement of all the passers-by) when she came to visit me in London for for very first time.
I paid double price for a fast-track ticket to the Eye today (ulp!!) and I’m SOOOO glad I did. It was freezing and heaven only knows what we would have been like standing in an arctic queue for an hour!!
Hi Julia,
Sorry to hear what you are going through right now with these dreams that you have. This never happened to me but I guess that this is part of the whole grieving process and as we know, our experiences of that can be different to others. Yes that must have been hard to write what you did, but in doing so I hope that it helped as well. And as you know, we are all here for each other and help each other so keep on writing if it helps you!
And please do not worry about looking after your goddaughter during this visit, I know that you will be fine! Thats great that she is visiting you right now and I hope that you are enjoying being on the London Eye right now…….don’t look down!! Ha!!! And if you are not too good with heights, I am sure that Florence will look after you!
Have fun!Hugs,
Gavin
PS – And if it snows…….. don’t panic!
There are those times when memories bring us comfort and make us smile, but then are those moments when grief takes over.
This little trip is another step of moving forward, as is each minute, second, day and each month that passes. For me, the pain has not lessened however; the intervals of occurrence of the painful moments have lengthened in time. That, dear Julia has given me comfort. I wish the same for you.
Hugs and have a wonderful time,
MarionThank you
We’ve booked a trip on the London Eye tomorrow. I hope it’s not too cloudy … but who am I trying to kid? This is London, of course it will be cloudy
Julia,
Have a great week with Florence. I’ll be thinking of all of you. You, Florence and of course Susan.
XXX.Love & Hugs,
DarlaDear Julia a big YEA for you on begining your plans to give Sue and yourself some Peace, I am so proud of you. I kept Teddy’s voice on my phone for 1 1/2 years. I bet she was so happy to get the call. Have a wonderful time with Florence ( I had a 1st cousin, Florence) and I am excited for what you are going to for Easter, cannot wait to hear.
Dear Janet, I always have the urge to say Hi to you, when you have posted. Loved your Christmas idea and I do agree with the waves that sometimes just come over us, but you do sound good! It is also comforting to know that YOU are still watching the Board. Stay well!
Thank you, too, Darla and Janet
I’m now at Heathrow Airport, waiting for Florence to arrive. On an impulse (I haven’t done this before) I called Sue’s mobile a moment ago and left a message on her voicemail. I told her I love her and that I know she’ll be with me this week, even though I won’t be able to see her, and that I’ll include her in all my events with Florence this week.
Then I cried. Now I feel better.
Florence has ARRIVED!! I’d better go. XXX
Dear Julia,
I think when you get to the time of year when things were tough it does come back at you a bit,quite unbidden,you can be trying to distract yourself but the memories are a bit too strong and break through and make you feel a bit ordinary.
……But time eases it .For me the Christmases have been pretty awful as thats when our worst time was and Joel died early January but this last christmas I enjoyed the day and I thought “Well now this is progress”I had tried to enjoy the others even booking into a very expensive restaurant for us all one year-
I enjoyed the food but it was still a very average day.
Darla is right about these feelings coming in waves and we surf through them and get past them.So just keep doing what you enjoy and what makes you happy and sometimes it will work
Janet xx
