Today is the first anniversary of the passing of my sister, Alli.
Not really sure what to do or how to feel. I’ve been quite distracted through much of the day with work, but as the day winds down I’m getting a bit more reflective. A friend’s birthday is today and we were invited to dinner, but I’m not really in the mood to celebrate anything. However, I’m also not really in the mood to cocoon at home and be all depressed.
I suppose I’ll do what all good Brits do – go and toast her memory at the pub.
I love you and miss you Alli.
