Memories
It's funny that things that make you remember the dead.
I rarely remember the date anyone died, it's other triggers.
It's Baycon in a few weeks (a great little board game convention near Exeter). That brings back memories of Molly, my mother-in-law. That's where I was when my brother in law phoned to say she'd gone into hospital with terminal bowel cancer.
I remember the kindness of people I hardly knew, little things that helped me cope. Of all things, a few yellow marbles. Two ladies know I was looking for a yellow marble to complete a second-hand solitaire set. They visited 'House of Marbles' and bought me four lovely marbles of different shapes and patterns. I still have them.
On May 4th, I remember Molly in a different way. She was born on Star Wars day, so it's easy to remember. On that day, I go out and do something she would have enjoyed. Often, we visit a garden centre, have lunch there and come back with a new plant for the garden.
