Probably an odd request here but I'm going to miss this place and all of you wonderful people. Going on holiday for a week - my son's half term - off to North Yorkshire and the coast.
I don't know how it will be - though as a family we need to have this time just now. Haven't been very 'together' recently. It will probably be better than I anticipate - things generally are!
It would be good to carry your love and support and care with me - to know I am not alone, perhaps when there will be those dark times and lonely moments. And a part of me is saying as I write this 'Who the heck do you think you are liz asking for this request?'
But I value all of you and you've made a difference to my life and I'm going to continue to need that support when I'm not here over the next week.
It's now 10 pm ish. It's been a long day. Saw my T this morning which I've mentioned in another posting. Therapy is beneficial but emotionally exhausting. And I don't know why packing to go away should be so tiring but now I'm totally knackered!
So I'll take your heartfelt and touching messages of support away with me and hold onto them when the going gets tough. My son is looking forward to the holiday and at the moment his excitement is getting me through. I'm looking forward to taking the dog for a walk along the beach. The rhythmic continuity of the waves breaking is for me reassuring and comforting. Something about amidst all the inner turmoil something without remains the same.
I'm loathe to leave the safety of this place and also the love and care which you have bestowed upon me. Does that sound a bit naff? - well tough! it's what I feel. Something about leaving you all behind..... I feel bereft.
I do hope you'll have have a nice holiday in yorkshire, it'll be nice to spend quality time with your family, and we'll be here for you when you get back, try to be strong, and take care of yourself, you'll be in our thoughts and you wont be alone even though you cant get in contact with us remember we are here and we do care!
I just hope the weather isn't too bad cos it's aweful at the moment isn't it!
I always hold you in my thoughts. I hope the holiday gives you some good memories I am sure your son will have a good time and that will be enough for you
Dear liz , You are probably gone at this stage but just wanted to say hope you have a good week and you will be in my thoughts. Enjoy it as much as you can see you in a week. M x
