Today I'm sharing photos from Mother's Day more than two months ago now. They're quite somber photos as we went and visited Grandma's Grave. It was the first time, for me, seeing her plaque in - I'm not sure there are right words to say but I do feel like Grandma would have nodded in agreement at the nicely manicured location. Her birthday just came around the corner - many nice and not so nice reminders throughout the year for those suffering loss.
I'm aware and perhaps desensitised to loss, having just gone with Grandad for scans last week and getting back the days/weeks prognosis I'm not sure my emotions make much sense but in the bigger picture it's an amazing reminder to live life in the best way you can. There's parts of me that think it's sensible to always have the fear of death in your mind and there are other parts that think living such a way would be horrifically horrible :p I'm also needing sleep.
baby gremlin! I think one of his best features is that he likes being near people :)
Makes for nice car trips.

I thought the above scene was poetically sad
J at one point told me he had found a bench that would make a nice photo. I honestly took about ten photos of the bench before giving up and letting J have a play with my camera. When I got home I found this photo and loved that he able to make a beautiful photo where I saw nothing but a chair :p
He also took this tree photo which I thought was beautiful :)
I hope this post wasn't too depressing the World is definitely full of amazing things but we all go through those darker moments too.
