Knitted most of this hat last week while I was in Perth for my surgery. Finished it today. In hindsight I should have put a nipple on top!! 😬🤣 I wish I could knit on the plane but podcasts have to suffice! Bargain wool reduced from $4 to $1 at Spotlight. Only needed 1 ball 😊 still have about 5 left!!
Wow this thread has become huge. So great to see! I'm going to change it up and put a piece of writing I wrote for anyone who has experienced loss. Hugs xo
The morning
greets me with seamless blue skies and a startling crispness,
Whilst the
deafening silence envelopes me,
Slowly and
deeply I take my breath, suspended in that moment,
My fear, my
release, my pain,
Letting go
of the things I no longer control, faith in something unseen,
If only to
see you again, to know with certainty of the heavens in which you await,
To reconcile
who I am, in the depths of who I was made to be,
The clash, contrast
and acceptance of all that I am without you.
The world
keeps turning whilst I no longer hear you, feel you or see you.
Memories
fading as I search my endless mind, for one last glimpse,
Of something
that holds me close, to the undeniable essence of you.
Unwavering
pain that surges through me, leaving me breathless, crippled and quiet,
The busyness
of life in all its abundance, yet I stand paralysed in the quiet stillness.
Emotions
existing, fighting, longing, for a peace to conquer the absence, disconnection
and sorrow.
So for today
I will hold myself in the only way a parent can, and just for a moment I will
silence the debilitating ache with gently closed eyes and remember that love still
exists and is timeless.

Your poem is very moving; not 'soppy' or 'sad'. Big things beautifully expressed - thank you
So time to make your Xmas cards and get them in the mail!
I thought these were ‘doable’ ....
