Synttarit - Birthday

Vuosi on mennyt pelottavaa vauhtia ja taas on kasissa keskimmaisen synttarit. Naista lasten vuosipaivista on se haitta, etta on erittain vaikea olla hyvaksymatta omaa vanhenemistaan jos lapset alkavat olla samassa iassa kuin mita itsesta tuntuu!

***************************

A year has gone by at a scary speed and it is again the middle one's birthday. These birthdays are detrimental to my ignorance of my own ages as one cannot really have one's children to be older in years than what one sees oneself at!

Kaksi vuotta sitten - two years today

Tanaan on tasan kaksi vuotta tarkean ihmisen poismenosta.Lapseni menettivat isansa. Nama vuodet ovat menneet vauhdilla ja, johtuen erittain raskaista vuosista ja tapahtumista jotka johtivat kuolemaan, olen seka tehnyt surutyota etta yrittanyt toipua ja palata normaaliin elamaan. "Hiljaa hyva tulee" on sanonta jonka olen vasta nyt ymmartanyt.
Lepaa rauhassa!

Today is two years since I lost a very important person and my children lost their father. These years have gone by so fast. Due to very distressing time before his death and also what caused his death I am slowly recovering from what I can only describe as post-traumatic stress disorder. Only now that I am grieving and also trying to return to so-called normal life, I have grown to appreciate and understand the real meaning of the saying "Easy does it".

Coming of age...

I cannot believe that I have two adult children, me! barely an adult myself. (hmm... officially I am very much an adult, it is just the silly head that will not accept it.)

My middle child, just a baby not very long ago. is going to be 18 this week. I look at him and see a reflection of his father, whom I met when he was far younger than my son is now. I look at him and think to myself, how very young we were, his father and I, and yet how very adults we thought we were. It was love at first sight, I was swept off my feet and fell head over heels....

I cast my mind back to this time 18 years ago, the birth of a big healthy baby boy, the happiness we both felt. Things were still mostly ok, we had a beautiful 3 year old daughter and now a bouncing baby boy. Any niggling concerns were still small enough to be ignored...

I am not sure how I feel.... I'll try to figure it out...
