A time warp – that’s the perfect description for it – exactly what it feels like.

She can’t believe it because she still wants you back. Right now, preferably. And you’re busy fishing where they’re biting. Long story short, Janine’s amazing. She’s fixing stuff, handling kids who are grieving and trying to succeed in school and sports, organizing the paperwork, and work for money. Oh, and figure out what’s for dinner. The birds can do without that bird seed. Janine’s busy!

You’re proud of her, I know.
Noreen

I love these posts (don’t tell Simon!). They are such a touching blend of the minutiae of your life and the sweeping scope of your loss. Your writing is so beautiful… I hope it’s bringing you some comfort.

I’m glad you have your blogging to help you through this, and thanks for your generosity in sharing the stories.

We are lucky to have those letters.

You write so beautifully and capture what I remember of Simon. Hope it is not too long before you can pull those letters out and enjoy.
Thinking of you and the girls. K xx

No comment is contrived or placating, I value so much the fact that you are thinking of me and reading my little posts. And hugs and kisses are much appreciated!
