Meaningful Wednesday
Sounds like you had a great time in Durham, I love the idea of the substack family having day trips to Cathedrals wouldn’t that be fab?
When you were describing the little old man on the train you could’ve been talking about my Dad, since my Mum died in 2020 amid the care home/hospital fiasco he has been left broken-hearted, my Dad goes out every day either on a bus or a train just to pass the time. My Dad is 92yrs old unvaccinated and very awake, unfortunately he is just waiting to die he just doesn’t want to live without my Mum. Thankfully most people Dad meets on his travels are very kind as I do worry about him on his own but he says he likes to be alone to people watch and get lost in his thoughts. I went to see my Dad this evening he had been to Liverpool today and went in to a Catholic Church to light a candle, like you Abi he prays for all of his family and all mankind he’s such a compassionate man and I’m so lucky to have him as my Dad. It makes me so sad that after such a good life with my Mum he is left traumatised by the cruel way he was kept away from his beloved wife in her final weeks of life - all in the name of COVID. We can’t just move on too much has happened.
Thanks once again for your great podcast Abi, you are part of my daily routine now - better than any news bulletin!
Love to all the substackers x
Aww, im so happy you enjoyed your time with Zach, sounds like you had a wonderful meal.
The children’s corner in the cathedral would’ve set me off too.
The prayers were beautiful. I’m so glad that when you lit the candles, your jacket didn’t catch fire, imagine the headlines 😊
That old man on the train🥺, bless him and bless Gail for her empathy towards him.
Regarding the ‘BIG reveal... utter shit and I’m not interested either.
Today, Benjamin’s best friend sent me a video of him, he had just had his haircut, he was wearing no top and it’s from behind so you see his back.
Honestly, my heart skipped a beat. Sat here looking at him, his flesh, knowing how real he was.
I even spotted a little mole on the top of his back🥺😔💔
I won’t put it on social media as I know he wouldn’t approve.
So grateful to his friend for sending it, she was so excited that she’d found it again.
It just made it real again that he’s not here💔
Sorry for the pity party and I hope everyone is ok.
