Thoughts turn to smiles..
So I woke up this morning thinking about my parents and wondering to myself if they would be proud of me as I am right this minute. And my mind screams back a resounding HELL YEAH!!! They would be extremely impressed with me in fact. I would even have shared my blog with them as I know my Mom would giggle mostly at it with an occasional “Oi Briggie!” thrown in for good measure and my Dad would’ve probably told me that I need to moderate myself less I miss them.. and feel proud to be the person they gave life to Happy Friday people!! Snap on your spandex and lets get going!!! Be the first to like. Like Unlike Share...
Loving you..
Mom, today you would have been a stunning 21 year old (with 45 years experience), making others jealous with your bright smile, generous heart and naughty giggle. I woke up this morning remembering how much you loved your birthdays and how it didn’t matter if it was a handmade broken claypot or the most expensive perfume, you loved it all. Today is not so much of a sad day than a day of remembering your birthdays you shared with us fulled with smiles and your over abundant love. I just wanted you to know that I am still thinking of you, remembering you and holding your love in my heart forever. Happy Happy Happy Day of Birth Mommy.. Love you Always, Briggie 1 person likes this post. Like Unlike Share...
Wakefullness…
I woke up this morning at 5 again with a mind full of thoughts and no way to switch it off so that I can get sleep as warm and cuddly as the rest of the house.. Amongst the thoughts rambling through my over busy brain were memories and moments and for the most part I enjoy remembering moments in my life as my life has been exciting and fun and interesting .. But there has also been trauma and sadness and devastation.. And I went about calibrating and analysing these moments as only a person who overthinks everything will truly appreciate, I tried to organise my emotions and unfortunately wasnt able to do as well as I wouldve liked. The truly traumatic emotions kept crippling me. Even now, years later I cannot think of my mom without experiencing a quiver in my...
Time is a slow healer..
So yesterday was the day to celebrate mothers.. And for those of us who are mothers we were blessed with cuddles and loves from our offspring with promises of “the best behaviour ever!” from them. And for those of us who have their moms still around it was a day of saying thank you for being the best mom and show just how much we appreciate everything that they do and have done.. But there are those of us out there that shed more than just one tear yesterday. There are those of us out there who were reminded of what is lost. And no matter how much time passes, the pain never ceases to surprise us in its intensity.We put on our brave faces so that the kiddies don’t see our burden of loss and pain. We find ourselves remembering all the Mothers...
Apply Within..
Was thinking the other day.. watching daughters as they walk with their mom’s and granny’s in the shopping centre’s making my heart tweak and twinge just ever so much, about being without a mom and how it has left a void in my life. So I had an idea!! Why dont I adopt a Mom?? There has to be a mom out there who would love to be an instant granny to two fantabulous boys and a mom to a funny yet charming albeit slightly eccentric daughter?!?! Someone I can go to tea with.. share my thoughts with.. complain about my siblings with and how they never call.. Someone who will phone me from time to time just because they care.. I can take them to mother’s day tea’s and we can have a grand ol’ time! But where would I find someone...
