I love that you all celebrate her birthday. I have had m/c and I'm the only one who remembers the date and I know it's not the same thing, but I have an understanding of a small amount of the pain.
Sending you all loads of love and huge hugs today. Pass on my thoughts to your Mum too..

I’ve been reading my book with my new kindle. I have to say, it’s a lot easier on my vision than using the iPad kindle app so I’m happy I decided to splurge on it.
What I loved about today is that Si and Jess came to the cemetery with me and Katie sent me a message as she’s at her dads. My sister is a part of my family in the next generation. I know a lot of people wouldn’t recognise this like we do but it’s important to us, to my parents, that she’s not forgotten. They went through hell when she was born and the hospital buried her in an unmarked grave in hospital grounds. It took mum and dad two years to find out where she was, get her body exhumed and then bury her again where she is, properly, where we can remember her. Where she’s not forgotten
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
That's horrific for them to have had to go through that. I understand why it's so important and it is important.

I’ve been sitting out in the garden for hours, reading my book, chatting with my girlsI can’t sit in direct sunlight (vampire?) as my CRPS skin burns very easily and having sunburn when the condition already makes it burn is not a good move. But the parasol was angled perfectly and it was just so relaxing. What is it about sitting out on a sunny day that is so soothing?

It sounds like a perfect way to spend time together!

Probably because you're in touch with nature...the evening perfume off plants, listening to the birds and feeling a breeze! Do the same today Paula...but later on. Have a good one!xx
Isn't it funny hows scents in the garden are more intense in the evening I wonder if it is because it is cooler.
Hope you manage to sit outside in the shade again Paula.
