FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

 

 

It was an awful week. It started on Monday with a lot of rain the whole day and it was also very windy. Impossible to go out. Fortunately we have our activities in the afternoon and that cheers us up. 

I wanted to visit Nicole, it was a long time I hadn't seen her, because I thought in a couple of days she will pass away, and her daughter told me not to go and keep her in mind as she was, a pretty funny woman.

As I am still not OK with my lung problems I didn't go, and regretted it very much the next day when her daughter called me that she has passed away.

I was stunned by the shock and spent the day like a robot. I couldn't even talk to anyone, I didn't feel like it. I informed my son, who also knew her, but I had the impression that he didn't fully understand my grief. In any case, I found no consolation. 

I was very funny at our game and made everyone laugh, and realized that the sadder I was, the funnier I appeared to those who were with me.The next day her daughter came and brought me Nicole's cat, of course not a real one but made of plush, but it looks so real that everyone thinks a cat is sleeping there. She also brought her mouse pad with the head of Charlie her dog. Charlie (a golden Retriever) was my great love and vice versa too. We had so much fun together! She has painted him and I will get the painting later, for the moment it is with her coffin.

 

I spent the next days with looking through all my folders for photos of Nicole, because her daughter wants to do a slideshow during the funeral ceremony. She will be incinerated on February 8. That's a long time I think.

You certainly understand that I am not in my shoes at all and I am sorry if I didn't answer all comments.
