Opening

head and shoulders above the rest :)

One week ago today, my Mum passed away...and I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact I will never get to speak to her again...

Today my Boss mentioned I can get some compassionate leave - its atually quite good, but we didn't know how to arrange it, so I contacted HR via our internal messaging service.  I was very touched that one of the HR Manager's called me back within seconds to say how sorry she was and give me the procedure....  But of course the tears came, and I couldn't talk for a few minutes.  I'm fed up with soaking tissues at the moment...

I am posting an old photo of my Mum in extras.  Had to ask the Aunts who was who.

(and I am buying flowers to cheer myself up)
