    You’ve been busy. Did it help?

    You always fight, you’re awesome!
    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.

    Visited mums grave today. I cried on the way there but when I got there I couldnt. It did have positive outcomes though.
    I took some false flowers (you're not allowed real flowers in the graveyard) and chatted to her as I arranged them in the pot. I also made a decision that was really positive.
    It has always peeved me that when my father got the gravestone done he only got engraved that she was a beloved wife, there is no mention of her being a much loved mum or nanny. It makes me mad every time I look at it. It's a reminder that it's always all about him. Today as I studied the graves around mums I saw that people had secondary memorial stones so I have ordered 2. They should be here in time for mothers day. I can do something to remind me she was my mum and actually that other people can see she was so much more than just his wife.
    It's going to be my act of remembrance for my mum.

    That’s a lovely idea and I’m so glad you won’t have to wait long.

    I'm so proud of you. I can't tell you how amazing you've been. Ordering those stones sounds perfect. You're amazing. Take back some control!
