Thoughts

I cant believe its 3 years mummy, this year so far has been one to remember with a worldwide deathly pandemic which has literally changed everything that we thought we knew about life, turned it upside down and inside out. I am gllad that you aren't here to see this, I think that you would be utterly dismayed. I have river and jamie and we spend time together when we can and are a little unit. jamie is doing so well and has great people looking after him. river is without doubt my sunshine and reminds me everyday, again that no matter how weird the world is the sun rises and sets every day jist as its always done and we have to go on. i so wish you'd met him, you would love him. i think about you, tiggy and lillie every day and i know that you are a unit up there too, there's nobody else can look after them for me, only nana! this poem still says everything that I want to, i hope you like it too.

I frequently read it at Memorial Services through the 80s & 90s. Just hearing the cadence will make me tear up.

H. Auden: “Funeral Blues” Tania Sheko Aug 2, 2018 · 1 min read Abbas Kiarostami, Roads, Rain and Glass, Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message ‘He is Dead’. Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. I love you to the moon and back and I know that you do visit sometimes and let me feel you around, there was the visit with the black tea aswell! all my love, Claire xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
