February has been quite a month~It does feel like I have ridden an emotional rollercoaster for 28days and at times I really wished I could just jump off. I still have a sense of loss but the fog is beginning to clear from my head and allow me to remember the happy times and the beautiful person Grace was.
Having the opportunity to take my children with me and create more happy memories with Nan has only proved to reaffirm for me that homeschooling is what is best for us. We did not keep them from the hospital; they sat and held her hand and talked together and it meant more to everyone involved than we could ever have imagined.
This experience has taught me to be more active in the way that I care for people. To let people know I'm thinking of them and care for them and to never again feel the weight of regret when saying goodbye to a loved one.
We got our hands dirty and did some planting and beautifying (is that an actual word?) in honour of Grace and to ensure we got off to a good start with March. We plan to pick out a special plant to grow in her honour~yellow jasmine or sunflowers perhaps.
Today sees us busy baking and creating a birthday feast for Dad (Happy Birthday Dad!) and writing stories about our adventure bus trip yesterday~all the way to WOY WOY!!
Wishing everyone a happy month :)
