This Week

This week is always an odd week.

It’s a week where we have to regain ourselves after Rhianna’s birthday but at the same time get ready for Mother’s Day.

It is draining emotionally to be honest.

After Rhianna’s birthday we all feel flat, there is none of the extended excitement.

It is just another year of remembering her and missing her.

It isn’t an anti climax.

It is the realisation.

Yes her birthday has been and gone but nothing has changed.

The world still happens and we are still missing her and just because another year has gone it doesn’t get easier it doesn’t get simpler.

And within days it is Mother’s Day another day where we miss her.

Where there should be extra presents, another card, another child giving hugs and kisses.

And there isn’t.

So in-between we almost put our heads down and just get through this week.

And that is what we are doing this week.

Because on top of the usual week of emotions we also have BB on a residential all week and isn’t even home.

This week we have thrown ourselves into work, both of us.

And we are quietly just getting through one day at a time.

Before picking ourselves up next week and starting the process all over again.
