MEMORIES AND MEMENTOS

[digdigil]

It's been a long time since I posted here. I decided I'd better become more active, maybe do a post every week, on Wednesdays, which is my day off. It makes sense to use part of my free time to unload my feelings, whether good or bad, happy or sad. Of course, posting will also allow me to catch up with my flist and get back into the comings and

So sorry to hear about your mum,hun.My Gran knew nobody for the last few years of her life.Its so heartbreaking to try in vain to get through to them.
I'm glad Sean is continuing to bring you all such joy though.His only limitations are other people's narrow mindedness.Post pics soon!
take care xx

[digdigil]

Thank you, dear. It is indeed heartbreaking to have relatives who no longer remember.
Sean is a blessing, truly. He is doing so well, it's hard to believe he has a disability!
I will post some pics soon! I do have some new ones.

Oh, it's so nice to see you around again! I have missed your humour.

Your grandma's story truly is very saddening.

Awww...thanks, and it's great to hear from you!
I hope I'll be able to catch up with my flist from now on!
The last few months have been a trial and not much chance to get online.
Old age sucks. My advice to everyone is make the most of things while you still can.

*squishes you*

With all that went on the past month with my Kevin (the studies and tests, does he has something in the range of autism or not (which is still not known)), I have been thinking a lot about you. In a way I drew strength from what you went through and reading this news about Sean is just making me immensely happy.

As for mom, it made me cry. My mom just lost the love of her life and just to think that she would not be able to remember all they shared is just... heart breaking, especially for you since you do have the evidence of such great love. *hugs you*

The graphic arts study sounds very much hands on to me in the artistic way, but you know carpentry is a great profession too. Perhaps he dislikes the thought of being cooped up inside? *big hugs* I am sure you and Olivia will manage to create great mother-daughter moments in the months/years to come!

Oh my, it sounds like I have a lot of catching-up to do, Rhaps! I must read through your journal and find out what has been happening with you and Kevin and the rest of your family!
My mother's memory loss is just the worst thing. I mean, she is still alive and I can talk to her and stuff, but sometimes she's better than at other times, and sometimes she just isn't "there". Like if she hasn't seen you for a while, she'll ask, "Who are you?"

Yes, re: Jamie, he has missed his calling! He should have been a pro athlete. He had all the talent but no real ambition! So he is just floundering around and really doesn't know what he wants, IMO.

Olivia and I will be sure to have great times when we get together, we always have, but the fact that she is 3,000 miles away worries me! It's not so easy to see each other anymore!
Thanks for your words, Rhaps, you have cheered me up!

What a beautiful entry. Thanks for sharing - I'm sure that wasn't easy to write.

How sad, not to have your memories... but at least you still have the letters, so their love lives on. Even if she has forgotten, I can't believe a love like that could die.

*hugs*

Thank you! It was hard but I needed to get it off my chest and sort of explain why I wasn't posting much in my personal LJ for the past few months.

Hey dear, I just found your other journal! Hope you don't mind if I friend you - I would like to get to know you better!!! Afterall you are not only the provider of many awesome awesome picspams, but seemingly a cool gal too :)

*hugs youu* Your kids seem really awesome! I miss my mum, it's quite sad I'm about to move 20,000 km away from her :( But I guess we gotta spread our wings and explore! I'm sure your daughter misses you a lot too! A trip to Europe sounds like such an amazing idea :)

Oh man, I'm really sorry about your mum. Losing memories is a pretty scary thing. The letters sound so beautiful. Well just wanted to let you know I read this and I hope you're feeling ok. I can only imagine how it is for you.. keep writing <333

[digdigil]

Oh, thanks for friending me on this journal! That is great! And thanks for the compliments!

I'm going to start using this journal more now and post stuff about my life and stuff I think about too. I miss that part of LJ although I'll still be doing picspams and stuff in the other one!
