I saw you…

I watch as you enter the crowded room, looking neat and pulled together; confident as usual. You have shorter hair now and funky green galsses- you used to hate wearing them! Blak pants, black top and sweet gold weaved waistcoat and mod, dangly silver jewellery. You look so diffrent from the stressed, grieveing parent and teacher you were 3 years ago. Nearly 30.

You look beautiful.

Still no baby like I had hoped.

You and your husband are in a better place. Settled and happy. Relaxed.

It brings me calm and acceptance. I have seen you, talked to you. Said goodbye to you.

I am walking away knowing I can be happy until I see you again.

One day.

Not a whole lot to report…

I know not many people (if any) read this, but it is a nice way for me to update myself…if that makes sense!

Lily’s birthday passed for another year. I didn’t even say her name aloud that day. Just a quiet rememberance and an ache in my heart. I couldn’t even bring myself to say anything to R. I am sure he thinks I have forgotten, but she still plays on my mind all too often. It has also been a week filled with babies, pregnancy loss and pregnant people.

I know that people aren’t doing it on purpose, but for gods sake why can it not be me? I am eagarly awaiting the birth of my friend’s baby. She’s just been admitted to hospital with pre-eclampisa, so my thoughts are with her and the baby that I want to be born safely! I am so thankful she is letting me share her pregnancy with her. It is just another way of me letting go and I think it has helped. There is always the part of me that longs for another little baby, but it can’t happen.

On a lighter note, I have been so on the ball latley it isn’t funny. I have been taking myself for a walk most mornings- I like to think I feel healther, but I will feel alot better when I have moved this podgy belly of mine!  A 30 minute walk is better than nothing I guess.

Uni is going surprisingly well. I finished 2 of my assessments a week before they are due, so I am pretty proud. I feel on top of everything and I am not stressed, unlike this time last year.  Matters in the Student Village though. It looks as though I will have an extreely increased work load as Resident Assistant if I stay on next year- which will not allow for a decent amount of time for UNI work- the reason I am here in the first place. So it seems I will be moving out into the ‘real’ world of rental properties and bills in the next year or so…

Nothing is constant; everything changes.

We’ll just have to see where it takes me.
