SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Hi @Former-Member

 

I'm glad we are here at the same time - and you have a lot on your mind right now and Christmas - oh dear - how things can gang up on us

 

Forget about your boss right now Sweetie - you have more important things on your mind - I think you earn a little where you work but it could be classed as Voluntary Work I think and it's pretty rude of them to bitch to the other staff but they have done what might be the right thing and let your know - so you know. Perhaps you would rather now but here we are

 

But your son and your mother are more important

 

Can you get to Sydney and be back in time to have Christmas with your son and then go back to help your Mum out - and sheesh - hold her hand when she passes - really - that is such a priorty for you but I know - I think I do anyway - that you are torn between being there for your son and your mother and what to do - what to do?

 

Oh dear me.

 

Before my Mum passed - I told her (I whispered in her ear) she was forgiven and sanctified by my faith and even though her body sorta stayed alive for a few days her spirit left - I could just tell. I had forgiven her for her bitterness long before - no one can stop us from forgiving them as resentful as they might be about it - and I know my mother had many regrets about the way she treated me,

 

Maybe your Mum does too - this is so hard for you Lapses - I can only hold your hand through cyber-space and pray for you and really really care

 

Keep in touch about what you are doing - a close relative of mine is really ill right now and I am thinking that person might leave us sometime soon - so in this we are together again

 

Lots and lots of really gentle hugs Lapses

I will light a candle for you tonight @Former-Member

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Thanks @Owlunar, you sure get it - my family I don't think know what love is. Not one. I learned it from Hesus. Today i phone I signed off telling dad "I love you" but he paused and said "night, you have good dreaming"

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

I think I get it @Former-Member

 

It's nearly 7 years since Dad died - I remember taking sweets to the nursing home for Chirstmas - and they were put in a drawer with other sweets people had given him - I sometimes wonder what happened to them - 

 

When he was in hospital just before that he had a moment of real clarity and I happened to be when I was alone with him and we had a fantastic conversation and he said things to me that he had never said in his life before - I don't know about your Dad but mine didn't "wear his heart on his sleeve" and this can be so hard

 

We really are together in this Sis - I am thinking of you as you pass through this really hard time

 

More hugs

@Adge, I just remembered the name of my hedge: Plumbago auriculata

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Oh Plumbago @Former-Member.

Yes I know that one. I just haven't seen it in years.

Excellent, you're giving me a refresher course to remember my plant names.

Otherwise it's sad that I'm forgetting much of what I took decades to learn...
