Something For Rhianna
It has been 18 months since Rhianna Lily died, they have not been an easy 18 months, some days are good.
Some days are really bad.
And some days are just ok.
But life is very different.
It isn’t how we planned it and it isn’t what we wanted
But we cope with it
And we live with it
The best way that we can
It may not be the right way
Or the way that anyone else would do it
But it is our way
But something has been bothering me for a while now
And I brought it up for the first time with her daddy this evening
I want to do something for Rhianna
Something that will be an ongoing thing
That will be done because of her
That Baba knows we do for her, and something that he can see the results from
And will follow him into adulthood!
I am not sure what I want to do
It needs to be something that we are all happy with
And that we all want to do
But it is something that I feel I need to do
I don’t want her to just be a memory that only we talk about and no one else
I want Baba to be proud of her
And to be proud of whatever we decide to do because of her!
But pinning down what that thing will be is a hard thing to decide
And I am not sure what we should do
Her daddy isn’t too sure and until we have a couple of ideas we can’t really discuss them with Baba either
So we have a little thinking to do and we need to decide on something that is right and something that we are all comfortable with.
What that will be who knows!

Hello, I just wandered over to your blog, it’s lovely. Good luck with whatever you decide. I know how you feel and I’m not yet sure if I’ve found my ‘thing’ to remember Monkey yet and maybe there won’t be one thing but many. And I think lots of them will be small. But is doesn’t matter, you will do things because of Rhianna and that will, I’m sure, make Baba proud.
Thank you, it is a tough one to decide what to do for them isn’t it, and I think it changes on a day to day basis. I hope that you decide on something for Monkey as well xx
