Carrying the memories of those who mattered most

If you have lost someone near and dear to you, then it’s only natural that you might be thinking more about their legacy and what kind of lasting impact they might have on the world. Some people are content to mourn and then keep the memory of a loved one in their mind, but if you want to go a step further and make sure that their memory lasts in this world longer, whether you specifically link it to your relationship with them or to some wider memorial in the world, here are a few ways that you can do it.

Danny is one / My first year as a mum of three

A good friend of mine sent me a message on February 14 to wish my littlest happy birthday. She also wished me a happy birthday because alternatively it meant that I had completed my first year as mum of three. So I wrote down some thoughts on what it’s like.

rain, babies and forklifts

There is so much catching up to do on this little blog of mine. Shall we start with the weather? It’s been lovely and extremely wet these past few days. However, that subsequently meant that once Georgie was down for the evening I would make a little excuse about the rain, curl up in bed and watch The Walking Dead instead. Excellent tV show, by the way. I desperately wanted to take the 5 second walk to my mum’s where i can use the internet -because we still do not have a connection at the house- but zombies can be highly addictive, you know.We visit papa and Georgie’s grandparents at their workplace regularly and Georgie always ends up on the forklift with his pappou. However, over this past week he has taken this activity to another level. His face is dead serious as he turns the steering wheel and looks straight ahead. He really thinks he is driving it! It’s hilarious to watch.                                                                                                                      Little dude has also become an expert on taking pictures with my iPhone. This is his very first of me! Changing his nappy.By far the highlight of our week was the birth of this little lady. Her mama is one of my besties. So proud of you agapi. xxx

a message

     …to my daddy who is recovering extremely well in London after his surgery. My mum and uncles told me he woke up briefly to tell them he loved them and thanked them. He then turned round to my uncle and said ROCK ON! I laughed with all my heart after a day, I can only explain as one of the worst of my life- and that goes for everyone in my family.

all that matters

      My parents left for London this afternoon. My daddy needs surgery. Sigh. I have been writing and deleting wondering if this is something i truly want to share here on the blog. But you know what?  It is. Because this is a trying time for my family and this blog is about both the good times and bad that I know all families have. The photos are a reminder to me and Georgie that despite these difficult times, we were surrounded by loved ones. And that’s all that  matters.
