Trifextra Challenge: The Goodbye

You were born on a Saturday.

And after 23135 days on this earth, you died on a Saturday.

It’s been 1326 days…since.

And I have missed you Mummy, on every single one.

I’m participating in Trifecta’s FINAL {EVER} Trifextra Challenge:

Trifecta Writing Challenge

For this final challenge, we had 33 words to write about whatever we wanted. And of course I just needed to write about my mother. I found this challenge quite by chance back in 2012 and I am so glad I made it in time for the final one. Doing this added a fun dimension to my approach to blogging, my use of words and my writing as a whole. I too would like to thank the editors for the encouragement they have always given to each and every entrant.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Trifextra Challenge: Lost at Sea

This challenge is hard and I’m a bit myopic.
I was hoping to dazzle you with my brilliance.
Instead I’m lost at sea, with only a basin to reach the shore of coherence.

Trifextra Challenge: 36

Remember,

after the thunderous rebellion of the clouds

and the stinging rain has washed over us,

the sun always comes out,

sometimes even with a rainbow.

The only way to heal it is to feel it.

Trifextra Challenge: 33-ish

“…disease?
What’s that?
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
His voice dropped to a whisper.
“Let it come in.”

― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie pg. 16 – the words of Morrie Schwartz

Ok so my original submission was not quite 33 words…it was only 30 but I updated it to include three words to satisfy the rules of the challenge. I hope you still get what I was trying to say. In this chapter Morrie was telling Mitch what was the most important lesson his disease was teaching him. Tuesdays with Morrie is one of my favourite books and this is one of my favourite quotes from it. “LET LOVE IN!”

February, is after all, the month of Love!
