Happy Mother’s Day...
It’s Mother’s Day in jolly olde England. I never understood why the dates are different here and in America. I used to like it when Mom was alive and Jeremy lived at home. I got to celebrate it a few times every year...now that she’s gone and he’s in Guildford it’s not so nice. I feel incredibly sad today...Jeremy and I’ve had a few nice chats and they’ll be home soon for a few days. But I miss him. I miss Chels too. I miss my mother. I miss my grandmother. I miss my brother. I miss my brother.
I had an incredible week last week regarding my studies and where I want to go with them. I had a workshop with NIWE on Wednesday night and then a lecture by Sharon Cox on Thursday night. Both completely reinforced me desire to go into weight issues when the time comes. Yet, yesterday and today I’ve chosen to stay home and close to the things that remind me of Mom, Gram and Jeremy. I’ve not been alone for much of it, but I’ve stayed close to the things that connect me to them.
When Jeremy, Chels and I were on video call the other night I showed Jeremy the cup in the picture I’ve posted...he and my mother hustled off to the store when he was about 6 or 7 and bought it for me on Mother’s Day. I hope with all my heart it’s sitting beside me the last day I’m able to drink a hot coffee from it.
I have a beef stew cooking and looking forward to watching Jeremy’s game against Peterboro tonight on the live stream. I’m glad I won’t be alone...I have so much good in my life and so little that makes me sad, but it seems that the sadness is beating me this weekend.
I am excited about the things that happened last week...I’m very happy I’ve gotten my big end of year case studies done for college...I’m happy I had an amazing mother and I have an amazing son.
Mom and Lonnie...I hope with all my heart you’re up there with Eileen, Gram, Grammy Norma, Auntie Arlene, Teri...and having a wonderful Mother’s Day. I miss you both so much. I miss you all so much. Reading those women I’ve had in my life...no wonder I’m so strong.
Happy Mother’s Day...
Thank you Mom and Jeremy...who knew something you both did out of love would have followed me through 23 years, across the Atlantic, and to a whole new life. I love you both so very much.
