This is the second festive season without Angela and my first one not sharing it with Will and Danny. The festive season is full of memories of fun and laughter and family time and these are emotional triggers. It’s still very difficult for me to remember the fun times without it making me feel so very sad and making me cry. Missing Angela so very much it hurts me to my core. I know that going forward I have to accept that this time of year is always going to be different and a time where loved ones are missed more intensely than other days. Hopefully in the future I will be able to embrace the memories with fondness and a smile.
In the meantime I’m making new memories. I’m lucky enough to be spending these days with Jackie and Alex and their family, Fiona, David, Tom and Sarah in Awelon. I have taken the opportunity to have a couple of proper rest days with good food, drink, company and laughs along the way.
It’s back to reality with a bump tomorrow.
