This afternoon A was doing a back-up of all our photos and videos, clicking on the odd one now and then as he went. Before I could stop him, he clicked open an untitled video he took of me in early April 2008 at the top of the Sk.y T0wer in Auckl@nd. It's quite an ordinary video, I'm just walking on the glass floor and staring down. But it's the commentary. A is talking to Starchild-in-the-future, saying "there's mummy, isn't she pretty?"
It punched us both in the stomach.

ReplyDeleteIt always gets us when we least expect it doesn't it?
I was just browsing through pics this morning on my lappy [up since 5am - body clock still not in sync yet!] deleting stuff and doing a tidy up and I came across pics of my digi pregnancy test. Still hurts to see it.
Big hugs and I know it's a painful memory to watch but one day, you will be happy to have it to view - honest.

That's really really hard...big hugs my friend, Fran
ReplyDeleteThat is really hard. I can see why you would want to save that video, but I do not think I could ever stomach seeing it. All my u/s pics are hiding out at my mother's house b/c I could not stand to have them with me.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you....
P.S. Thank you for the award in your last post, I did get that one a few weeks ago. thanks for thinking of me though.
Oh god - this is terrible. I'm so very sorry.
ReplyDelete(o)
ReplyDeletewow, you just brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry. It is crazy how such a relatively short time period of one's life leave so many reminders around everywhere... hard to escape.
ReplyDeleteoh hon. that must have been so hard to see. big hugs. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, how beautiful and sweet the moment was, and how heartbreaking the reminder. I'm so sorry.
