Devastated

[queenofmean]

Just about covers how I feel this morning.

Have 2 months to look for a new home.

I’m really sad because I love this house and I’ve began to get to know my neighbours and I just joined a TRA.

This is the last place I hold memories with Mum I don’t want to let them go.

I feel a mix of emotions and I was hoping the next time I moved it would be out to my own place.

QoM, the strangest thing happened yesterday. I was walking past the boy's crib and was hit by an intense aroma of flowers. I couldn't smell it in any other part of the room, just directly above his crib and it was like someone had let off a flower bomb. Obviously I wouldn't spray anything near a newborn so I cannot account for this smell.

My brother died 14 years ago this month and my Nan passed away 6 years ago this May - long before I met husband and moved into this house - but I'm convinced one of them visited yesterday and I'm inclined to think it was my Nan.

Wherever you are in the world, your mum will always be by your side smiling proudly.

queenie my lovely. It's so sad that you have to leave the house that is home to you. Home is in your heart, it goes where you go and is always there. your mum is with you every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day. She always will be. It's traumatic, moving house always is, I know. When I got married I was in the army, mde and my new wife moved house four times in the first year! It was four adventures. Look at it like that sweetheart and you'll be fine. xxx

NM I think that was your mum. Vera still comes back here occasionally, I always know when she is here. It's a lovely feeling.

I don't think it was my mum, WBM. She's alive and well and hasn't shown one iota of interest in her new and only grandchild. I didn't get a card at Christmas nor on my birthday. It's hard to believe really...

Then it was someone who loves you, Grandmother?

It's your mum's loss sweetheart. xxx
