Saturday. An easy day, regular chores: laundry, gardening, and just catching up on life. Received news that my friend’s partner has passed. After finding out, T and I spent time quietly grieving and thinking of our friend and their children. Specifically, thinking about how we can best support them through this difficult time.
Mother’s day was Sunday. The kids gave me picture frames and homemade cards. T gave me a gift card to Nordstroms (my favorite clothing store) : I have plans to upgrade some pieces in my wardrobe that are worn-out. T also made a pancake breakfast, with strawberries, walnuts, and whipped cream.
Sunday evening, some neighborhood kids came to play. The whole weekend I found myself in a pensive mood, with intermittent grieving. May my friend and their children find solace in the life memories.
