It’s Friday and today I’ve been in contact with my girlfriend’s! I guess it’s the day we usually have our wee get together for our wee vino chit chat conversations! This night two weeks ago we were all together for an 18th birthday celebration!

Today we were all working from home! Tonight we are going to connect via Zoom…except for What’s app chats this will be our first convo in a wee while..during the week I’ve had my FT conversations and texts..

The wonderful thing about my ‘circle of girlfriend’s’ is they have and do support me in many ways, and my connection with them is a reflection of ‘me’..some share my love of drama, some are my friends from childhood, some are from work, or college, my cousins, family, and friends I’ve gathered in adulthood..

My girlfriend’s have been instrumental in my healing, they have held me, listened to me and danced my dance of grief, sometimes at my side, sometimes from afar, and sometimes in a close waltz…

A few months before Gary died I was out for dinner with a group of my girlfriend’s and as we chatted…I cried and said, ‘ my greatest fear is that I will be forgotten after Gary has died..’ on that evening they held me and promised me that would never happen and it hasn’t!

I have been blessed with my girlfriends and for that I’m so grateful…to all the phenomenal women in my life especially my mum..thank you and to my wine ladies, I do hope we master this Zoom tonight..let’s all raise a glass to all the lovely ladies in our life xox
