A day of rememberance
OK Sis its coming upto four years since we found out that the headaches were a tumour and two since your passing.
Over the last two years somethings have gone how you would have expected. Those that you left behind hae got fatter, tinner, slower, dimmer. My Girls are heading towards education at one of the local Grammar Schools, still dance every October for the ballet school are becoming as well travelled as we were. They still talk of Aunty Ricky and your knitting for all three of them.
Other things have been surprises, your other half and children have discovered what holidays are for and those that work are diffentately get good mileage from there passports. The bridge is at last finished and so the island is a little more connected than in your time.
As the day gets near we once again have come together to talk about what Ricky would have done, what you did and how you shared your life with many. We have cried and smiled, we still very much miss you and after two years we have not forgotten as others with hearts of stone said that we would.
I am trying hard to give those that you were concerned for the council that you would have given in the way that you would when they need it. It is hard not to rise up and strike those that in my view still continue to hurt your family. If you were here I know that as well as being angry about the actions of some, at least between ourselves we would be able to say what we thought in such a way that at the end of a telephone call we would have decided that they are not worth the wasted energy in getting upset.
Time has hold dimmed our memory of you. We are as close now as when you needed us to be at the time of your passing.
On Monday I will once more stand silent at your resting place and think of you as I lay flowers and try to smile as you would have wanted me to. This year thanks to global warming I am sure that the flowers that we place on the ground will last a little longer than when you first passed away.
Rest in peace in the knowledge that all that mattered to you are as well as can be expected and this year that small group has grown by one rather than got smaller. I still await the opportunity to trap down the earth on those that have deserved it.
