We have been away the past few days. We took a short break to Nice, France. My husband had a one day work shop there so we tagged along and went a few days earlier so we could have some family time away.
It was so therapeutic to be by the sea, watching the waves rolling in, crashing against the shore. What was especially nice was the sunshine. We have had a lot of rain and grey days here recently so it was a double bonus to be at the beach with the sun shining on our pasty white faces.
Water and the ocean have been particularly significant to me since Cordelia died. I swim somewhat regularly now and crave the ocean and its waves. Before we moved to Switzerland we were living on the West coast of Canada, we saw the ocean every single day. Bliss. Now it is something that I miss a lot.
We spent a lot of time on the beach just looking out at the vastness, cloud formations, little boats and even some brave swimmers. W of course had a great time too. We threw some rocks into the water and said ' We love you Cordelia' as they splooshed into the water. Those rocks will be there for ever now, rolling around with the waves. Our love all over them.
We have had quite a few busy days recently and there is lots to write about but we have friends arriving in an hour for the weekend, I will try to squeeze some posts in if I can.
We have done a nice thing to remember Cordelia this Christmas which I will share ASAP and also this Sunday we are attending a non religious church service for babies who have passed away. Not something I ever dreamt we would be doing this Christmas.
