Marie, Just read your post, and sorry (NOW I'M APOLOGISING!!), but i had to laugh when i read your reply to the lady who asked how your mum was. Bless her, she'll probably ask you again in a few months!!! Hope you're ok today. Speak later, love jayne xxx
Hi Jayne- yes, she probably will!! shes nearly 84 and lovely, but her memory is going.Amazingly she can remember things from years ago but cant remember what shes had for lunch two minutes after having had it!!! She lost something the other week that i helped her to look for,and every two seconds she stopped her search to say "what is it we're looking for??" She gets very upset,because she is aware that her memory is going,and she gets very frustrated and sometimes a bit frightened.We generally manage to have a laugh about it though.Theres no other way to deal with it really.She can't help it,and its not her fault.I'm off to do some housework.-- well thats the intention,quite how far i'll follow that through i dont know!!! bye for now, love Marie XXXXX
Today is not a good day for you again is it.Its such early days for you but just take everything as it comes, don’t try to rush things.I miss my Mum too, and she's been gone since last June.I still keep saying to my husband that it just doesn’t seem possible, I can't believe she’s gone.I used to go shopping with my Mum as well, the last time we went she hung onto my arm, something which she hadn’t really done before.She was so tired, but determined to come with me.Maybe she knew it would be her last time.The mothers day thing is getting to a lot of people, but we will be ok Nicky.As Marie says, we can still buy flowers or something and talk to them.I will put up the card I bought her last year, and I bought a dozen yellow roses this morning for her.She will know and be watching me.I think we all think about our mums all of the time.I still say ‘night night, sleep tight, god bless’, to my Mum every night.And in the morning I look out the window and tell her what the weathers doing.(although I don’t know why I do, because she KNOWS what the weather’s doing!!).they're still with us Nicky, they’ll always be with us.They know exactly what's going on and what we’re doing.
Your thing about the light bulbs, this is how they communicate with us.Your Mum is trying to get your attention and let you know she is still with you.I was trying to find a bit in my book this morning for Louise.I will keep looking through it because I would like to quote something out of it for you all.Its very reassuring and explains all about this electricity thing, and also the aftershave smell which Susan had.It mentions it all.When we moved here (into my mums house), both the spot lights in the kitchen blew!!Then one night when I was reading about the way they contact us through lights, the bulb in our new cabinet flickered and blew!!???It was a brand new bulb and it was weird that it happened at exactly the same time as I was reading about it!!!anyway Nicky, you have a better day tomorrow, we’re all thinking about you, take care, love jayne xxx
Stop posting at the same time, it messes my computer up, takes aaaaaggggeees for it to get through.
Housework?? what's that, is it something new? Can I look it up on the internet? Actually I might go out and cut the lawn so it looks like I'm busy when my hubby gets home. He'll be here soon. see you soon. jayne xxx
How are you today? Did you manage to sleep better last night? Any chest pain?? I bet you did get to the cemetery, I hope it was a lovely sunny day there as it was here and which flowers did you take?? I imagine it was quite busy there today? Are you going back tomorrow or have you got other plans??
How is your haircut and what a relief to have finished all your Mother's Day prepr at school, I can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you - no wonder you are physically and emotionally drained. I do hope that you can manage to take it a little easier this weekend?
We've have been to a music festival today which was very successful, tomorrow is football and then Jonathan and his dad are off to see my mother-in-law so perhaps we can have a little meeting later in the day so we can celebrate how great our mum's were and how much we wish they were here!
Bella is doing well with our final kitten and I can see that now we will probably end up keeping him/her! We have not, as yet gove the kitten a name but we will! Any ideas will be very welcome, it seems more likley that it is a little boy - not only because of the male characteristics (!!) but also some of the other featires (I';; leave that to your imagination!!)
So I will be back tomorrow so we can get through the day togetherxx
I sending you my love and a big hug tonight Louise xx
How are you today and what have you been up to? I suppose you have your card and your mum's yellow roses out already??
Have you managed to get out in the garden today? It's been really lovely here again. I hope you are feeling ok and that your back is giving you a little less bother? It's been quite a week for you and I think that we will all be feeling better after tomorrow - do you agree?
I have really no interest in what's happening tomorrow so I will just be keeping my head down and keeping busy. I know that Jonathan has made my card but otherwise we have no plans. This is my second year without my mum and it still seems unbelievable that she is no longer here. I cannnot understand why our mum's were taken so soon and really for no reason at all. I know you have said before that they did not deserve this and my mum really did not. She was so young and it was all so sudden and so heartless the way it happened. I can only console myself by thinking that she must be happier, she is with my dad, free of pain and worry and I can only hope that she can still have some enjoyment from watching Jonathan and all of us.
I'll hope to see you at some point over the weekend and send you my love and a big hug (())
