Another sunny evening has followed another cloudy day, ...so frustrating.
A morning which started before sunrise, seeing off my mother from here in Norwich, as she headed down to Dover, and across to France to care for my ailing grandmother, over the ensuing 5 days. A very hard time, especially over a distance, to see the decline of a close relative.
By chance, I chatted with my dear friend today, face-to-face this time, and was initially relieved to see her face bearing up quite well, but as our conversation passed from trying to find the English names of Thai fruits on show before us, to the loss of her relatives, I could see how the emotional strain had struck, noticing her eyes filled with loneliness and the obvious sadness. I recalled her poignant words just three days ago; "my sister and I are like little birds in a big tree, but now our big tree has gone, we are lost."
There is no answer to the truth...but time is something that can alter everything.
