Thank you. I’m dreading the first Christmas without mum, but blessed to be making new memories with my granddaughter. Will be stealing the words on your post it note. Much ❤️
Beautifully put, Stephanie and particularly pertinent for me, having recently cared for my terminally ill sister, who died a short time later. Her funeral is tomorrow and I keep telling myself that she wouldn’t want me to be sad. I don’t know how I am going to get through my eulogy, but I will try with every fibre in my being. Thank you for this thoughtful, reflective piece.
Thank you for your brutal honesty….and for all the permissions.
I love Christmas but sometimes I find all the effort to make it special, for everyone, really hard work. And I know that’s of my own making.
I hope you have a peaceful and contented festive season with dog walks, fabulous knits and cake!
Thank you! And how lovely to see you pop up here. Have a lovely Christmas too. Xx
