To Luna

By Hayley on Friday, January 25, 2019

I wonder what you would be doing right now. If you had been healthy and been able to make it to full term, you would be about 18 months old now. Would you have been like your big brother, late to get up and walk, or would you have been keen to keep up with …

These shoes

By Hayley on Thursday, January 24, 2019

One of the things I’m trying to do more of is move my body about a bit. Not because I have weight to lose or some particular fitness goal in mind, but because I want to make full use of it, while I’ve got it. Last year (nearly a year ago), my back gave out …

Conversation with Benjamin

By Hayley on Friday, January 18, 2019

Ben: “Who is my Granny?” Me: “Granny Jaynie, my mummy and Granny-“ Ben: “Daddy’s mummy.” Me: “That’s right.” Ben: “So we need to put you and me on a list with Granny Jaynie and give it to her. That would be nice for her.” Me: “Yes, because we all belong together?” Ben: “Yes. Where is …

Reflections

By Hayley on Sunday, January 13, 2019

Taking a look at the photo gallery I posted on New Year’s Eve, I realised how many of the photo’s have Luna as their subject. This is really heartening to see, she is a part of our family and we are thinking of her always. Which means we are taking her with us everywhere and …

Wisdom of mum

By Hayley on Wednesday, January 9, 2019

I started this blog, part inspired by my mum’s own blog. Back in 2016, I undertook to organise and edit my mum’s blog in order to put it into print form for my brother’s wedding. I was struck that I could hear her voice, intonation and laugh (and annoyance at times!) through her words. I …

BIG Birthday…

By Hayley on Sunday, December 23, 2018

I turned 40 last week. Something I wasn’t looking forward to, which took me by surprise in a way. I’ve never really worried about birthdays, getting older. This year however, I have been feeling rather jaded about it! Charlie asked me if I wanted a surprise party (yes, I know, not much of a surprise …

Dad’s birthday

By Hayley on Thursday, November 29, 2018

A couple of weekends ago, it was my dad’s birthday, he would have been 69. We celebrated by going to Polesden Lacey, near Dorking, for a walk and some lunch. As you can see, it was a beautiful Autumn day. Truthfully, I haven’t been very good at marking these dates in the past. I have …

Life-long project

By Hayley on Thursday, November 29, 2018

Charlie had bought and read the book Grief is the thing with Feathers ages ago…I gave it a wide berth! I find it difficult to read things like this, they pick at the scab of my grief. However, our good friend has worked on the theater production of this book and we have booked to …

What’s important

By Hayley on Tuesday, October 30, 2018

All this talk of loss has made me think of, and appreciate, what I do have. My wonderful husband, Charlie: one of the kindest and gentlest people I know. I wouldn’t have made it through my darkest days without his steadfast love and support. One or two random events in the last few weeks have …
