Is it possible to miss something, but be eternally grateful not to have it at the same time?
I'm sat with mum, who spends the majority of her day sleeping, radio 3 plays in the background, it's a peaceful time, but one that is an emotional rollercoaster of tiny ups, downs, lows and lowers! She's not giving in, using every ounce of her determination to stay here.... a red head to the end.
I could not imagine running the shop at this time, the gratitude I have not to be worrying about it is huge, but equally I miss the structure that it gave me, peeps popping in for a catch up, the forward planning and organising.... having a focus at a time where nothing is "normal"
It's bloody hard being a problem solver and control freak when everything is out of your control and there is no solving to do, just wondering and waiting ......
