I woke this morning, and recalled a morning 26 years ago today when dad placed a call to me in my work. I was 20 years old. A graphic designer. Working in a beautiful Stately home on a typesetting machine.
I dropped the phone, made my excuses and walked slowly for 6 miles into the city of Bath where I lived. It was beautifully sunny. Amazingly calm. I could hear the breeze rushing through the bare branches and I heard her whispering to me.
I held in my heart that this was best. That there wasnt any more pain for her, and that as long as I felt the breeze on my face, I would feel her in my heart.
In 26 years, I just calculated I have owned 5 houses, lived in the UK, Lanzarote and Australia. I have been married twice, and have had three beautiful daughters. I have learned to live, to love, to laugh and to lose. I have learned that life is a gift and you should use it wisely. My experience showed me that the people who come alongside to share with you, do not define you - they enrich you and bless you and ultimately we set each other free to continue onward to bless and enrich others.
I remember standing on the ramparts of the medieval city of Carcassonne in 2001 after my first marriage ended. I looked over the poppy fields from the walls of this 2600 year old magnificent edifice. I thought of the 70/80 years I may be present in this life, that these walls will keep standing, the world keep turning and I wondered how many other people after me would stand in this place and think as I was thinking.
