With daily rituals across the world.
As someone who cared.
As a great mother, wife and songwriter.
By my friends as hopefully someone who was a good friend, or at least amusing, but I don’t need to be remembered by people I don’t know.
That I don’t give myself enough credit.
Ignorance and unwillingness to learn.
I cry every day. Sometimes out of frustration. I do grieve my mum, so I allow the grief to sit until it’s not there any more.
If you’re a mother, you are embarrassing. Is that not just the way?
In recent times, when I was looking after my mum. She would take me on journeys in her mind and I’d travel with her wherever she went. I felt happy that I had the opportunity to have that time despite her illness.
I think we live on in people’s memories until those memories go.
