I'm keeping this fairly short tonight. I'm going to selfishly ponder through my memories, hold them close, carefully wrap them in velvet and put them away and hide for a while, holding them tight, but that is for after this blog.
Its the end of a year and the beginning of another.
Last year brought us so much sadness and i live in hope that this coming year will be better for us all. We have climbed mountains, almost drowned in the depths of despair and have basked in the joy of new friendships.
Alone in the garden tonight. I set off another lonely lantern to Mikey. This time though i had Tom on the end of the phone and he was with me whilst i lit the wick, almost set the paper lantern and myself alight before it took of towards the heavens. Picked the phone up from the floor and amid the sound of fireworks exploding and the clock chiming i was in touch with both of my sons. One in spirit and one by distance. A sad lonely figure looking skyward as the lantern dodged the rockets flying towards it. Closely followed by other lanterns that had been set off too. I spoke to Tom for almost an hour. I missed Mikeys call!
I have gained a very special person this year and hope we will remain friends for life. In some ways she has become a distant daughter, how lovely is that. I wish her so much joy and happiness and i know that would be Mikeys wish for her too.
So i embrace 2011. New tasks ahead, new goals to meet. I wonder what it will hold for us? Well tomorrow is another day, the first of many i hope.................
