Love 'confetti of swallows'. Lovely poem , and images as always Tina. You help us see things through your daughter's eyes, and in a small way she lives again.

Brought a smile and memories

Posted on Mon, 11 Apr 2016

Brought a smile and memories to my day. Thank you Tina.

I can remember my nan saying 'keep out the 'orse road'. We didn't collect what the orses left behind though, no gardens to speak of.

If only those lost moments

Posted on Thu, 17 Mar 2016

Posted on Sat, 05 Dec 2015

When my sister in law was diagnosed with breast cancer, she'd had some removed and was told that it might not spread but opted for a single mastectomy, to 'be on the safe side'. She was 70 and I know that makes no difference to how you feel about...

Posted on Mon, 26 Oct 2015

So, so beautiful. And such a wonderful testament to your daughter. Your words capturing beauty lost and still existing I like that you included 'but now I'm content to remain'. I'm amazed that your skill with words and imagery just continues to...

'a maze of so many no-through

Posted on Mon, 28 Sep 2015

'a maze of so many no-through roads' such a telling phrase. So sad that the real person is still there but does manage to surface occasionally. Sad and funny in equal measures, love 'the best frilly draws.'

So much in this and behind it

Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2015

Tina, you never fail to have lovely little, and beautiful, insights into your daughter's too brief life, and death.
