I Love My Family



 This will be a relatively short and emotion filled, soggy as a damp tea dunked biscuit post.  Guys …I love my family. I know you’re thinking duh! Of course you do but you don’t get it …



I have taken a look back in time and there is one thing that is largely consistently my family… we have lost a few good soldiers on our way of course but… we have managed to dust ourselves up as we go. Chanting optimistic war-cries!
 Drinking to our fill, glasses half full of empathy, sacrifice and the type of love God Himself created. Agape.  
Not all are blessed with that amount of love and companionship BUT we all have some kind of family… The most important aspect is NOT to take for granted the actions and emotions experienced by those that give a damn about you.
It is always tempting to go trampling over their opinions, advice and smothering.
These people will NOT always be around.
I would take a bullet for them … YES I would! (Only if the situation demanded it OBVIOUSLY! )
Spent a little time…show you love and appreciate them because being YOUR family is free. I myself am on the road to recovery, working on treating them better and saying I Love You more often. You can come along too there’s enough room for the both of us ;-) .

The Scarf..

This would be a beige one! 
There’s this scarf I can’t bring myself to wearing, no it is not hideous, it is actually quite fashionable and warm but still, I cannot bring myself to wearing it. Cream has never been my favourite colour and yet this is not the point. It still smells like her, I have day dreams of her playing in her snowy backyard looking ever so beautiful, wrapped warm and snug in that very scarf. I imagine her taking the tube or something, off to work where the receptionist smiles and says “Looking gorg love, especially in that scarf!!” and her smiling ‘that’ smile; “thank you” a little small talk then she’s off again.  Every time I consider wearing it I realise how little I have that goes well with it or compliments the chunky Hand knitted Italian wool, or comes close to complimenting it how she would have. God! I can’t imagine myself in that scarf, not too sure if I would be serving her memory right. Not quite sure how I landed with some of her best stuff but, if I wore it all it would do is stir up ‘unnecessary’ emotion. I haven’t even tried it on, maybe at some stage; I will at least try it on, look in the mirror then pack it back into that Marks &Spencer bag where her stuff…my stuff…the stuff that was hers, came in.
There’s this scarf I can’t bring myself to wearing I guess it’s never going to feel quite like mine.
