Monday

Mum had her third night of call last night, and was lucky that she got a good 6 hours sleep.  She got up and had a shower and was then called in, so had to go with her hair wet and some clothes that she just grabbed to wear.  She then came home and dried off and got dressed as she had a funeral to attend.

One of her lovely work colleagues died suddenly a week ago, and so sadly this is the second time in a fortnight that mum and many of her friends have gathered together.  The memorial was lovely with lots of music and talks from her friends and family.

She was able to come home and relax with me before she heads out again this evening to catch up with friends.  I was hiding under the deck for a while, as the neighbours had builders replacing a wooden board on their house.  Tonight she thinks we will both be tired and appreciative of a long snooze.

    they walk beside us every day.
    Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    still loved, still missed and very dear".x
