A photo that makes me happy...


...because in it I see the joy on my Mother's face, her pride in her grandkids: little Roo and Sproglet. And I'm glad she came to visit, and that we got on well and that the sun shone. That the bitter, sad, frustrated nugget in my heart that I have carried for all these years has all but gone. I have forgiven and now it is time to forget. The older we get I realise just how fleeting life is - how many years I have left with my Mother, I do not know. So I'll take the time that I have and I'll enjoy and embrace it - more than I ever have done. I've moved on. Finally. I feel lighter and happier. And possibly a tad more grown up.

Congratulations on finding forgiveness. I'm jealous and impressed all at the same time.

Btw, your little ones are just GORGEOUS!!
