I placed the marker at the cabin on Saturday afternoon. God, the many happy hours we spent here…
-
- “You and me, here together.”
-
- A sandy protected spot where we often watched baby bunnies come out to play at dawn.
-
- Like Alice, down the rabbit hole.
-
- Well hidden. No one would never know. You are safe here. Watch over the lake for me.
-
- Your spot is somewhere in this picture. Only you and I know where.
-
- You get to look out at this all the time. I’m sure you’ll have lots of goose stories to tell me.
-
- I saved this for a whole year so I could put it on my car when I was back here at the cabin on this special trip.
-
- I don’t much feel it, but I know you would want me to. And so it will always be a reminder of you and here, with me wherever I go.
Well done. I highly recommend The Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman. Good movie about the death of a child.
Love, Nancy
I do need to see that. It’s directed by one of my favorite people.
I’ve been wanting to watch Birth again, but thought it would upset me if it was too soon. I think I’m ready for it now, though. And Truly Madly Deeply, one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s the first movie I wanted to see after Kim died, and I think I could have handled it (meaning I don’t think it would have made me any worse). The main reason I didn’t want to allow myself watch it then is because it IS such a favorite of mine (and was a favorite of my mother’s, too) that I didn’t want to watch it in the midst of the darkest period of my grief because then I’d associate it with that time forever. And it’s a sweet movie, one that I watched more than once with both Mom and Kim. I’d rather it bring back fond memories of THOSE times. (Years ago, when I got my first DVD player, my mom gave me DVDs of my five favorite movies for my birthday, and Truly Madly Deeply was one of the ones she got me.) I think I’m finally at a point where I could watch it and see sweetness and hope and remember the happiness I felt when I saw it with them instead of only focussing on the sadness.
