Birthday sadness

[Martha_k_uk]

It's my birthday today, we lost our wonderful dad 3 weeks ago today and everything hurts.

Anyway, I thought I'd share what my husband bought for me. Bittersweet but beautiful

Dear Martha,

That is so beautiful. What a lovely gift. It reminded me of a poem I wrote when my first husband died as I love birds.

Happy birthday hugs. Ali B

Flight

Chris said that he envied my love of words.

I'm so lucky I can use them like the flight of birds,

to take my feelings and set them free,

to float on the thermals leaving me free to find me.

That's something, at the moment, that is hard to do,

for whatever I'm doing, erratic feelings come too.

These feelings can soar like the eagle in flight,

or plummet, like the owl on its prey at night.

Gone are the days when my feelings could slide,

Like the albatross in a gentle glide.

Dear Martha happy birthday! What a beautiful present? Keep it close and wear it when you feel you want to. It is a very beautiful present so it would be a shame not to wear it.

Hugs on your Birthday Martha

The hummingbird is a wry symbol for those of us who know about PSP/CBD - but the hummingbird is an amazing survivor and a fighter! A good symbol to wear

Best regards for these tough times.
