Thoughts & Feelings

* It was interesting to note that my low mood of yesterday cleared on getting home. Now, that might sound like an entirely normal occurrence to some but not to me. Home brings its own stress and so it was a nice surprise to find that I would rather have been surrounded by the chaos of my family than the regimented formality of work.

* My thoughts have drifted to my dad the last couple of days. Sometimes a line from a song or an image may provoke a memory which can, for a fleeting second, feel overwhelming. More commonly, I find that Aiden acts as a constant reminder. After 4 granddaughters, Aiden is the first (and so far only) grandson and yet he never got to meet him. When we talk of Grandad, there is no qualifier, there is only Karen's dad. Over time the girls will forget him, that is only natural. But they had time with him, created memories. Aiden will never know his grandad, the type of man he was. It is a gap that can never be filled.
