Alone!

Staying alone is really not a problem for me but I have been very touched by the number of people asking if I need help. I don’t. I am fine on my own....I got used to it after David died. In fact being on my own is quite good. No meals required at regular times has been a liberation . I can eat when I feel like it. Yesterday several phone calls were very touching...people checking that I’m alright, that I have enough to eat and am not feeling either sick or unhappy. I am fine! Mostly this is my life now...Being on my own is fine. I am running out of fresh food .And the next delivery isn’t for another week...But I have plenty of stuff in my freezer...plus dried food stored in various cupboards in the kitchen so I won’t go hungry. I may have a rather eccentric diet but I won’t starve! Several Mother’s Day cards have arrived from people who are aware that my children died...these bring out my tears...but I am very touched that people are taking the trouble to leave small bunches of flowers on my door step. I also got a card from my granddaughter in Lancashire.. Altogether life is different now but not bad... people are very kind. Thank you God.
