Good afternoon.Â
I can speak now and let you know that my mum of 89 years passed away two weeks ago. Not covid related. I don't know how I feel or how I should feel. I feel I have been grieving for mum last few years since her fall and decline. But I have a favourite saying which is thst life has a way of sorting itself out and it will.Â
The next part too is sad. Our beautiful scottie passed away yesterday. Â
I'm OK. Reflective. And sad but accepting also.Â
Do take care all.Â
Boo ??❤️

Thank you.. Its a strange time ti's all u can say. ❤️
Thinking of you dear friend.
When losing loved ones their presence can often be felt for some time afterwards and I think that is very nice.Â
Grieving is personal to everyone but happy memories can help ease the pain and I have enjoyed many conversations, tears and laughter with my nearest and dearest who have moved on.
Â
Bless you Boo.
Love and best wishes

Hi Boo,

Goodmorning.Â
Feelings are OK at mo. Obviously until mum's funeral I can't feel I can step too far forward. Everything seems sorted it's just waiting for service to take place. We have a date and covid restrictions adhered to the accepted level of attendees will be present.
Other matters such as Scotty boo. We'll it's their everyday habits and rituals we miss..Â
Looking out the back window seeing her on the lawn scuffing. Walking past her water bowl and forever knocking it. Anyway routine will fall into place again but just take on a different pattern.
Watching some old TV shows Wycliffe in particular weeknights and thinking seeing life back then in the pubs and restaurants etc. If we had talked of covid we would have thought it was a Sci _fi book or movie.
Keeping in touch with latest news and stories and dramas which seem all about murder or gender stories sort of don't always give full viewing satisfaction but then the old stuff makes you yearn and ponder too.. Feel in nowhere land some days with it all.
I hope everyone us finding easy days with no gambling. Obviously thst will always be an aggravation. That industry never steps back to give people respite. Late evening TV. Has made me realise the amount of ads and money the companies throw at that.Â
That's my daily moan....Â
You all stay safe and take care and thsnk you for your kindnessÂ
Boo ???
