Mother's Day

A rather depleted Mothers's Day, but Sam and Martin were in Linton, and indulged me with a dog walk and lunch out at the Gog Magog Shop.  Thanks also to James and Ben for the flowers and card.

Last year we had my parents and sisters and families over for a celebratory lunch a precious memory of all of us together; and I felt overwhelming sadness thinking about Mum in moments throughout the day.

That day last year was almost the last time Mum ever stayed at our house.  Mother's Day night she had kept everyone awake  and I realised that the stress & exhaustion that my Dad was dealing with on a daily basis couldn't possibly continue.
