Trouble

Sometimes the most unexpected and seemingly random event transports me into grief.

Today I was sitting in a training session for a new system we're putting in at work when the first peel of thunder rumbled. "Oh, that's Mum rearranging the furniture and sorting things" I thought.

That thought came from no where. It made me smile and brought tears to my eyes all at the same time.

I'm so grateful the time Mum, Dad and I had a year ago. It was an amazing week, a gift of time that felt timeless and good. So much was achieved but it didn't feel frantic.

Some days I just miss Mum.

On the up side I don't need to water the garden today.
