Looking Forward to Time Away with Mum

Since losing Dad, Mum and I have grown even closer. We have always been close, always had a special connection but since Dad died, that has become more than a mum – daughter link, more of a best friend feel.
I am having a few days away with her…we are going to the place where Mum and Dad last holidayed together. Mum can’t wait to show me where Dad was so happy. I cannot wait for 2 reasons
- Just spending quality time together. I live away and when I go home, we end up in the car , in the garden, at the shops…as I try and help her in her life.
- Creating some wonderful memories that I can look back on forever
It is funny how when someone dies, how it focuses the mind on the love of those around you. I know that I don’t take the relationships for granted like I did, I invest much more time as I never want those regrets again….
