I have this swing outside, on the back hill that frames our bit of heaven.
It is a place of joy, or solitude, or reflection - it's where I can feel like I'm part of the wind.
My darling gave it to me; my Christmas gift many years ago. It's strung between two oaks that, themselves, struggle to make it through every year. The trees are not majestic; they're scrawny and trying to find the sky.
My swing is my favorite place. I find solace there. Peace. My grandson headed towards it when Thanksgiving became too much.
I can see it from my kitchen window. And today my swing 'swang' (is that a word?) alone in the dappled winter light. Ah - maybe it was the wind; but we've had wind before.
Gently.
I want to let you know.
The words of comfort and understanding and love are helping me. This is so new; I cannot imagine being without my mother - my creator.
I'll watch my swing. And the rays of light around it. They speak to me, in ways I never thought I would know.
I think I'll put on my boots and venture out back.
Your loving thoughts help with the first step.

Dear momtomany - so sorry for your loss, warmest hugs from our cold shores and my thoughts are with you now.
…About dear companions, who have made our world
Come more alive by their companionship,
Do not say with longing, “They are no more,”
But rather say with gratitude, “They have been.”
(Reminiscence, by Vasily Zhukovsky)

Momtomany and Mys*&@^#r,
I don't read entire threads and I often miss out on news, but I did see yesterday that you have both lost your mothers recently. I am so sorry for your loss. They may be gone, but they will always be with you. My Dad passed away a couple of years ago. I like to think of him at his happiest as a young man playing great golf on a beautiful course with his buddies.

The dear Moms who are gone from our sight are always with us in our hearts.
Until we meet again and all is as before.

Momtomany,
May your beautiful heart carry you through this. You may feel alone but just look beyond what you can see.
Hugs,
K
