Trilby - Page 8

Me too. No one could turn a phrase like she could. Its been 7 weeks. Her son Taylor graduates from Ohio State in 9 days.

BigV · 04-25-2013, 07:21 PM

don't we all?

He won't graduate alone, Bri will be on his mind and in his heart, just like us.

Please give him my congratulations.

Sundae · 04-25-2013, 07:42 PM

Love and luck Taylor.
She'd have been so proud.

Aliantha · 04-25-2013, 08:12 PM

It's a huge credit to him that he's still on track after what he's been through recently and is continuing to go through.

Well done. I hope we get to see some pics of the big day. Maybe Aunty can take care of that for us?

orthodoc · 04-25-2013, 08:46 PM

Please give my congratulations and best wishes to Taylor as well.

DanaC · 04-26-2013, 03:43 AM

Ach damn, poor kid. That's so hard. Damn he's done well though, to hold it together and graduate in the midst of it all.

His mum would be so proud. I can almost imagine the posts she'd have made about it on here.

Griff · 04-27-2013, 09:36 AM

Missing her here as well.

Trilby's sister sent me some of her things in remembrance. One was a figurine of a cat which reminded Trilby of her own cat.
Here is is sunning himself on my kitchen windowsill in good company.

Gypsy · 04-27-2013, 02:45 PM

I went to see a medium and Claudette came through.... (The medium said "who is it who had all the cats?") Anyway, Claudette said she was very happy in the spirit world and that she loved us all very much. Maybe it's hokey, but it made me feel better.

DanaC · 04-27-2013, 03:41 PM

'Who is it who had all the cats?' I like that. In fact that's just a teeny bit perfect

Sundae · 04-30-2013, 03:49 AM

I was daydreaming the other day. What's new?
Lottery-dreaming.

It's much less fun without Bri.
I care about many people on here, but I so wanted to take her to Wales; to Cardiff and the Valleys and the West coast. To places where Welsh is still the first language. I never even sent her The Chronicles of Prydain, which I always meant to.

If I'd known how short a time I had I'd have moved heaven and hell to go see her. Taken on three jobs at a time to make the plane fare. And that's not just hindsight - I had 3 jobs to get myself back on my feet before. And I lost 4 stone in 4 months to get the money to go to a friend's wedding. Short-term I can be very focussed.

Short term only though.
And I didn't know this was a short-term thing. My bad.

I miss her.

Gypsy · 05-01-2013, 07:08 PM

I know. I miss her many times everyday. It's like my world used to be in color and now it is in black and white. There are so many things I thought we would have time for. We were sort of waiting for my dad to die (God forgive me!) so we could use our inheritance to travel. I always thought there would be time for that. But, obviously, we were so wrong.

I know Taylor and Danny really miss her. Taylor posted to Facebook about her. He said "My beautiful mother has achieved the ultimate peace. Her love for my brother and I will endure forever in our hearts. Her contributions were significant, she was essential to my development, and I will always thank her for providing me with her intelligence. I love you mom, for all time. Someday soon I'll be an angel like you." I asked him what he meant by "someday soon", but he didn't answer. I know he is OK until graduation, which is this Saturday. I'll have to watch out for him.

Don't beat yourself up about not seeing her. She wouldn't want that. Sometimes I almost feel I hear her whispering in my brain. I don't know how you feel about spirits, but try to listen for her. You two were very close. She would try to comfort you if she could.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-01-2013, 08:52 PM

I got over the anger, but still highly annoyed. Tempted to buy a Ouija board and tell her, too.

orthodoc · 05-01-2013, 09:20 PM

Still sad. I miss her ...

My loss is less than what others have suffered, but she was so good to me when my world had fallen apart. I think of what she'd say when things go well, or badly. I'll never forget her.

DanaC · 05-02-2013, 06:20 AM

Yeah. She was a wise bird was Tril. i do find myself still occasionally half thinking of her possible response when I post something I know would resonate with her. It's only momentary, but just for a millisecond I have to remind myself.

Hope Taylor and Danny are going to be ok. Glad they've got you watching out for them, Tril's sis.
