For the last six years, I have dreaded this month’s anniversary of Anthony’s death – August 23rd.
How absolutely ridiculous! I am ashamed and embarrassed at my self-pity, and Ants would have swiftly told me to get a grip, be stronger, stop. His clone, Ming, has now taken on this role, haha!
I loved (love) Anthony so much and the ongoing grief hurts a lot of course BUT….
…. there is a new kid on the block, born in August a year ago, a grandchild with the bluest eyes, the most incredible giggle, and the best re-definition of August for me, for ever.

nothing to be ashamed and embarrassed about, we each deal with grief in our own way and happy for the new kid on the block –
How good is that for timing! Yes. Anthony must have had a hand in this. Just like him!
You will never forget Anthony and the new kid on the block will help you move forward.
Never be ashamed of your emotions , grief is a right kick in the guts
At least time brings some consolation in the form of new life.
There is no fixed time for grief… that’s personal… that’s feelings that belong to you.. so don’t think of it being embarrassing… I’m very happy that you have a new little one to focus on though and to spoil and to love… Diane
Glad to know you are doing well. Hope to see many photos of your lovely August child. xx
