A big bunch of tulips

Yesterday was Christopher’s birthday. He would have been 48. It was also, coincidentally, the second anniversary of him starting chemotherapy. I slept very badly – but it wasn’t until 6am that I realised why. My subconscious is clearly better at significant dates than my conscious mind! Fortunately, work is so frantically busy at the moment that I didn’t have time during the day to mope. I had to go food shopping after work, and decided to treat myself to a big bunch of red tulips. They are now in a vase on the dining room table and look really cheerful, which is a help.

    I think even my subconscious is useless at significant dates – but I was reminded of Chris’s birthday by my (computer) diary. Thinking of you at this time of year. D & A.
