birthday (haiga)
Published by Tournesol
A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

The first year and each “special” day is always the hardest. Thanks for reading, Celestine.

Oh, thank you, Dominic, but that was the prompt “birthday”…mine is not until early March:) I will surely let the world know…perhaps on my other blog;)

Sad…birthdays and holidays are always so hard after a family member passes on. I’m sure it’s extra hard when those loved ones are one’s parents.

Thanks, Sue, just hard cos it’s my mom…it feels like I left home to go to school. How we regress when we grieve.
