DIFFERENT POST TODAY

  I've been wanting to put this post up for the past few days, but the timing was never quite right.

Hopefully today it's OK to post it.

When I left Coffs Harbour in 2020, following the death of my Mum, I left her ashes in the care of her partner, Ron. 

Last August, my Mum's partner died in an accident on his property.

I was expecting to be able to retrieve my Mum's ashes from his family, as had been arranged with Ron, prior to his death.

Unfortunately, after Ron's death,  his family informed me that my Mum's ashes were 'LOST' or 'disposed of' already!

IF they were already 'DISPOSED OF', that was totally against my sister's and my wishes, but there was nothing we could do about it.

What was done, is done.  We now have NO IDEA what happened to our Mum's ashes.

NOW

I HAVE THIS.  It is the plaque off Mum's ashes box, and before that, it was on top of her coffin.

It is SOMETHING I can hold on to forever.

And it confirms her ashes were not 'LOST'.  They were disposed of.

It was a sacrilegious act to dispose of them without our presence, or permission.

I will NEVER forgive whoever did it.  And I hope they are either already in hell, or are going there one day.

This has been troubling me for MONTHS.  I have to let it go now.  I WILL let it go now.

Today I will be spending the morning sewing, doing some housework and so on.  

It's far too hot to even think of going for a walk right now sadly.  I know my fitness will suffer for not walking, but there is only so much I can do over summer.

BACK LATER...

12.39 pm.

I've had a lovely morning.  I posted a runner off to Australia... a gift for a dear friend.

Then I visited Lacy and Keera.

After that I came home and made this runner:

Now, it's lunchtime.

After lunch I'm going to get in the pool and just enjoy our afternoon.

ABOVE:  It has been the most perfect afternoon in the pool.  The kids have had a blast, and should sleep well tonight.

I am now back in the sewing room, trying to decide what Braid Runner to make next.

Possibly a simple Black 'n' White.

ABOVE: Our dinner this evening was Teriyaki Chicken over rice, with a side of home grown cucumber, which was delicious.

We are going to have an ice cream for dessert, then a bit later on we are having a swim in the dark.

Then... it will be:
