This qotw is making me sad.
I is very drunk right now, and Sunday is two years since mum died.

My eyes are leaking...would give anything to have had that one last hug.
But we knew I couldn't go back to the UK no matter what. As mum told me 'it's my future now, I know how much you love me and I love you. Don't jeopardise it for me, live YOUR life'.

Exactly a month to the day after she died, I was approved for my green card.

Thanks mum, for looking after me from up there xx

your mum is connected to you eternally.

As long as you...
...keep them in your thoughts, they never truly leave you.

My brother used to say that if reincarnation wasn't bullshit then he'd come back as a magpie - mischievous and fond of collecting shiny shiny things lol. Every time I see one these days I think of him. Sometimes when I think of him, one or two appear as if on cue, and my mum says the same. It's silly for an atheist like me to hold such a thing dear, but when you miss someone as much as we miss our departed, a comfort is a comfort is a comfort.

Take care thar x

Proof, dare I say it, that mums are always right :)
