That's how long it is since my eldest daughter passed away. I wrote a blog during her illness and have decided to start one up again.
Grief is a monster. It sneaks up on you, sometimes when you least expect it. Last weekend I went to a Trophy Shop in town to purchase an award to present in memory of Melissa. It is awarded to the pupil who shows enthusiam or inspires others in a particular lesson or subject.
The inscription on the award is . . . . "To inspire is within us all"
Today is a bad day. My head is spinning, I have a headache. I'm on anti depressants. I'm trying not to let those around me see how much I am hurting. My thoughts pass from what we did, to what we'll never do again.
