So sorry! Some memories do hurt, as this must, too.
Still, you did have a good time with her just before you left, and that's really something to be happy about.
I am sorry for your loss. What a beautifully vivid image of a beautiful person in your life! Taking a "mind photograph" is something I have done before, too.
I've been banned from ladders too. In 2021 I fell off a ladder 11 steps down, broke both of my feet painting the trim on our house before we sold it. I made the move to Las Vegas with my feet in air casts and crutches.
I would outsource window washing at this point, the list may grow as I age.
Yes, I agree.
I've let go of many things, but only after bugging myself for a few minutes or so. Yes, letting go helps most of the time, within reason.
And I remember that case. That is something I can't wrap my mind around, though. That man must have been a saint.
I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
Write about your first _______. (You fill in the blank. Ex: first car, first job, first crush, first week at college, etc)
Loved my first and only time in an Air Balloon. That experience has prompted me to write about the experience in various stories. The feeling left me breathless.
First experience of Australia arriving in Perth 1972? Not very favourable if I was to be honest about it.
What I imagined was nothing like the experience. The time was 2am, the weather was freezing July, the place a very dated airport, and the first night was spent in a very damp Graylands immigrant centre.
There have been so many firsts I could talk about. Childbirth! Let’s not go there.
First time being in control of a moving vehicle. Terrifying.
Life is a series of firsts. Let’s hope there are still a few more before I die.
