The Gifts of Grief

Here I am again, on night duty.
Late last night I stayed up to watch The Gifts of Grief DVD.
Have waited for 18 months for it to be obtained - long story.
Worth the wait.
Six people relate their expereinces of grief. Well told, without hitting you over the head with its messages.
It starts off relating grief to being submerged in water.
I feel the loss of my mum and dad all the time. Things remind me of them.
Old songs, TV shows, phrases, hymns, places.
They are so much of who I am.
I need to write more about them.
My days of being fancy free are almost over.
Jani and boys due back tomorrow.
I went out today and saw the film Frost/Nixon - highly recommended.
Also shopped for quilts and comforters.
Knowing what I was looking for and going on a hunt.
Still have heeps of cleaning left to do - trying to get the ship in shape.
Blessings.
