Fragments


The world seems faded some days. 
As if the colour leached out of the universe and went away with Little Poppet on that cloud rainbow.



I've been sick. 
The huge dose of antibiotics given during/after surgery wreaked havoc on my insides. 
I've been a darkly serious concentrated ball of pain.
It's getting better now.


I'm trying, and often succeed in finding the brightness again.
What else is there to do?
It's in my very own Ray of sunshine.
It's in a purring kitteh.
It's in your kind words.
It's out there in our overgrown, marvellously unkempt, clashing colours garden. 


In my heart however, I think I might have to paint it back, one colour at a time.




There are two kittehs in there too. Did you spot them?

  2. Oh Barbara I am so sorry for your pain and for you loss. It is all so unfair. This is a beautifuly written post; I especially like the part about your Ray of sunshine. That made me smile because I can tell just from your writing how important the two of you are to each other. Hoping the colors come back soon. xx

  16. i've just come to your blog via wiseguy, your story has brought tears to my eyes, i am so very sorry for your loss. if you choose to visit my blog that's great but i'd like to tell you that i've just had a baby six months ago and if it would be painful for you to see baby pictures you might want to skip it. i have been where you are.
