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.

Well he was actually a bully among the other birds but I prefer to think all the birds were offering their condolences 😉

Even bullies can share the sadness and longing. And we all took a turn sitting in Mom’s rocker the day we divided the last of the stuff. Same road yet again.

Well, the furniture will be staying a while since her husband can stay as long as he wants…next trip will be to do the inventory…

I agree with Suzanne – the build up to the haiku style really worked, Basho style, and helped make the haiku the very nice one it was

Thank you, Hamish. These wonderful opportunities to write about a “moment” allows me to treasure and hold them forever.
