Thoughts by Kathy for Milton's 40th Birthday
This is so hard to visit Milton’s website on his 40th birthday. It doesn’t seem fair or possible that this day has come without him being with us.
Time has no healing. The heartache and emptiness will last a lifetime.
There were times when I wanted to give up just to be with him again, but I knew he wouldn’t want that. I have my lovely Elliot to keep going on for. He is such a treasure.
Ray and the boys have this admirable ability to move forward however difficult it appears at the time.
The whole family always talk about Milt and I’m sure his friends do too, so it feels like he is with us, although not seeing and hearing his voice with his mischievous sense of humour and story telling is so very hard.
My feelings are always more emotional the nearer his birthday and departure from us but somehow when the days come, I’m more at peace and quiet and think of all the things that I would like to do for him. I have always had in mind to create a garden with a seat that we will have made for his 40th birthday.
Ray, Elliot and myself will be on Fleetwith Pike just to be together again. The funny thing is, the weather on past birthdays has been so atrocious, it has prevented us going up. It makes me feel he is telling us how angry his going has made him, but we know he loved Cumbria with the lakes and fells and it is truly beautiful, so this is his special place.
Sleep with angels my love,
Mum.
