Still not here then?

Dear Ella,

So I am home from holiday (yes again) - and the blindingly obvious fact "you're still not here" - is a real smacker.

Why so "smacking"? Maybe its because I put effort and energy into going away and being very determined to be positive, upbeat and enjoy the privilege of going on holiday. Almost a target to aim for and achieve (sounds crazy, I know) - but as I learn about grieving and talk to others - it would seem these milestones/targets are part of the journey.  They have to be reached, passed and then onwards with the next lumbering steps.

All that said - it was good to enter the arms of home, check your room (and Sophies), look at your photo and start to pick up the vital threads of familiarity, routine and connections.

Lots of love

Mum
