Well I have been putting this off for a week or so as I really didn't feel up to going over the month that has been. This October has definitely been the worse I can think of as my Mum passed away at the start of it. Thankfully she got to die at home as she wished and had family by her side. Since then we have been on an emotional roller coaster. It seems that while it felt surreal in the first couple of weeks the reality is now crashing around us constantly.
I find myself feeling guilty about posting happy photos of us in the week before Mum died considering how miserable we felt after that and yet I still want there to be a record for the children later, to show October 2018 did have some good times. So with that in mind I will stop writing and post a few photos.
