Wednesday, April 08, 2009I RECKON................ FLOWERPOT A year ago today, our oh-so-special Flowerpot went to meet up again with Grandad, in that Big Meeting Place Above The Sky. I reckon she's done nowt but wind his ear off ever since...................I reckon she started off telling him about how much she loved living her 'life of luxury' in Abu Dhabi & then progressed to every single detail about her baby boy*, his baby boy** & the pride of all of us, Lilly Mai***. I reckon that Grandad would've listened & marvelled, probably over a strong cuppee tea to start with & then maybe topped off each listening session with a stiff G & T. I reckon Flowerpot would've joined him with her brandy & water.............she always said Coke was a waste when mixed with a dop. I reckon our Flowerpot would've said "Eeeh, it's a bugger tha knows" & "Yer'll never guess wha' Our Kid is up to " & "Did I tell yer 'bout tha' there 'Arley Our Kid has got?" I reckon Grandad would've told her that we were well lucky to have her with us for so long. I reckon Grandad will never understand just how much she impacted our lives & just how much we miss her. My motherbylaw - aka Flowerpot - aka Grandma - lived with us & was part of our home for 18yrs. She died a year ago today, here in Abu Dhabi, after a short but bravely fought battle against the Big C. I reckon she knows she's sorely missed. Thank you/shukran habibti for the beautiful white roses you brought today. Your friendship & thoughtfulness knows no bounds. * Hubs ** Our son Spadge *** Our granddaughter
