Trying not to have a virtual life.

Monday, June 28th, 2010

When Freddie died, he was in my arms, the only time I got to hold him like that with no wires attached. We were tucked up in a bed, with the sun pouring in through the window, peacefully on our own, just the three of us. We didn’t have long, he lasted very little time [...]

I’m so far behind on the day to day life around here that I don’t think I can remember.

The worst thing about this is how it turns you into a downright bitch. Oh, i know it. I don’t know if there is any way round the raging bitterness that leaks out into the most ordinary of moments. The happy moments.
Unexpected announcements. Hate them. Photo contests. Hate them. Talking about how long it is [...]

Answers that make more questions

I’m not doing so well.
I wish i was the kind of person who could switch off, accept things as they are, not question, not query, not wonder. I suppose i’ve headed on past shock and denial stages of grief (though shock seems particularly capable of re-emerging, i spent most of the last two days feeling [...]

The writing’s on the wall (or window)

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Maddy wrote this. I’m so proud

We had a lovely day at Zoe’s today. I took a variety of gel pens, some of which can be used on windows but all of which blend together. We got the kids to experiment for a while, drawing alongside them again to help encourage them.
