Mothers Day

Yesterday was Mothers Day. I was dreading it all week. I am beginnig to learn that the lead up to these days is far worse than the days themselves.

On Saturday afternoon my Mum came over for a casual visit, it wasnt planned or anything, I wasn't sure when I would get to see her - it was really nice though, and my brother popped in too.
That night Nicks parents came round for dessert/coffee and a chat. They stayed a few hours too and it was nice.

Yesterday we didnt get anything uch done in the morning. - Nick washed my car thouroughly - which was nice, pity its already been rained on! And then we went up to Gumeracha and The Toy Factory for lunch and climb the horse. Boyd had a blast. I was given a card made at childcare, a card from Boyd and Ashleigh and a card from Nick. I asked not to have any pressies, just to have lunch and buy Boyd something nice from The Toy Factory , which we did - hes thrilled with his new tool box

Last night we lazed around. It was an over all ok day. I didnt get really upset until I was laying in bed after midnight and started to think how different the day would have been if Ashleigh was still here, and how much I really do miss her.

Its such a hard thing to get your head around, that these days no longer have the total joy to them that they used to. Its an awfully bittersweet time, to celebrate motherhood when one of your children are no longer here. I know the years will make it easier, but for now, today, its hard.

Just wanted to update you all on how the day went...

tears for you

Hi Michelle
I followed your link to your blog from EB. I have followed your story and cried tears for you. I can't begin to imagine how hard and painful it is, but I want you to know that people are thinking of you still.

Ashleigh

Hi Michelle

Reading your beautiful words bought tears to my eyes and some sad memories of my mum and her sad loss of two babies through SIDS.

I will never understand why things such as this happen and cannot ever offer any suggestions to take away the pain

The love you have for Ashleigh comes through so strong in your words and that bond will never fade. You are a wonderful mother and both your children have been blessed to have you

All my love to you and your family

Cherie
