Time to remember x

2 minute read time.

Where do i start, im writing this as it helps to write things down ,

I think half my trouble is ,when friends and family say are you ok ,i reply of course i am ,yet my heart will be breaking ,they dont understand so whats the point in telling them , if honest i cant even remember the last time my family asked me , but on here i can be honest at least as i know people will understand and it does make such a differance ,i dont feel so alone ,

I want to just say thanx to my lovely friends on chat last night ,im not going to say sorry as that breaks the rules , i dont know where those tears came from but thanx for being their for me x

I do think as some kind person pointed out yesterday i am overdoing it ,but its the only way i can cope, keeping my mind busy, i will slow down next week when this crap week is over ,

Well this week is time to remember ,its would have been my lovely hubbys birthday tommorow and i know all the first are hard but this ones hit me very hard , dont get me wrong its brought back some fab memories ,but that in turn reminds me just how much we have lost , but me being me im dragging the kids to the zoo i cant face being at home , i will go to see him in the morning while kids are sleeping and have some time, but then we will hopefully have a nice day ,quality time and picnic, and maybe even dinner out ,

I will tell you all as makes me smile , me and ju always joked it never rained on his birthday and it hasnt for the 15 years we been together ! well wont it be sods law if it rains tommorow ,i wont be blaming the weather man thats for sure :),

I still managed to end on a smile ,typical me that is ,i may be very sad and missing ju very much but i know he wants me too remember and smile and im trying my best ,

The rest of this week wont be easy either ,my sons birthday fri and sunday we would have been together 16 years , and just to keep me busy we having birthday bbq on sunday with about 20 people , that will be funny i dont even know how to light a bbq , yet another challenge but as with all the others i will do it , i just hope i keep my hair and eyebrows in the process ,if not il have great company on here :)

I will stop now and i really hope i dont make people cry again with this blog as the last couple have ,

Its time to remember and smile a lovely husband and dad xxxx

  • All the 'firsts' are bound to be difficult and it is good that you are approaching Ju's birthday with positive plans. I hope you have a nice day and make some new happy memories.

    Hi Jenni, what a fantastic lady and mum you are, if I was in your shoes I can only hope that I could have your strength of mind and determination. Ju would be so proud of you all. Even if it does rain the sun is shining in your heart.

    My advice about the bbq get self lighting bags so easy and a lot cleaner or as we have done this yearget a gas one LOL.

    Seriously though I will be thinking of you all and will be with you in mind and spirit, and the next time someone does ask how you are tell them the truth.

    With love and huge hugs.

    A Different Place

    Right now I'm in a different place

    And though we seem apart

    I'm closer than I ever was

    ... I'm there inside your heart

    I'm with you when you greet each day

    And while the sun shines bright

    I'm there to share the sunsets, too

    ... I'm with you every night

    I'm with you when the times are good

    To share a laugh or two,

    And if a tear should start to fall

    ... I'll still be there for you

    And when that day arrives

    That we no longer are apart,

    I'll smile and hold you close to me

    ... Forever in my heart
