Today has been very odd, almost surreal. A visit from a very dear friend today was something very special. Friendship like we have is so rare and should be treasured and nurtured it is a true blessing. On Christmas Eve she gave up her time to spend some with me. A busy day and I'm sure she couldn't really spare it. I wonder if she knows how much it meant to me.
A visit to the Dr's and got my hospital results and all is well.
Another visit this time from a friend and her very young daughter.. They bought gifts for me Tim and Tom. When Emily gave me my present she sang to me and then she put her hand up, 'high five?' It was my undoing. I am afraid i did cry. It was the most beautiful thing she did but it was uncanny that she used that saying because Mikey had those words tattooed on his palm. It was one of the last ones he had done. It was as if he was sending a message. Call it silly but that's how i felt.
Its been strange here at home tonight. Not like Christmas Eve. I have already cooked the Turkey for tomorrow and Tim will be off to Doncaster to fetch Tom. I will be alone for the first time ever on Christmas day. I hope Tim can find his way!! well i have managed to print off a route for him.
I have managed to scan some photos from our old albums tonight they have taken ages.
Its our first Christmas without Mikey so these are some photos of our first Christmas with Mikey.
Mikey and Tom Xmas 85
So i will now think about all the firsts more positively.
The church bells of St Wennies have stopped. All is quiet Tim's in bed and I'm alone. I enjoy this quiet time, i can reflect on the day.
Mikey if there is another place and i surely hope there is, then i hope you are up there somewhere with all your friends and family having a good time, breathing easy, walking well and most of all at ease of heart. We love and miss you.
I cant sleep so i will try to read a book! I need to remember that
Tomorrow is just another day...............................
