Blubber

Clearly I am a big pussy because I started to write something about this awhile ago but then I started reading it properly and sort of blubbing and so I stopped that and never wrote the post because, you know: tears. This time I’m not even going to try to write something about what Jillian Meagher’s husband has written, except to say that it is probably important and definitely gutsy and – as the blubbing may suggest – quite sad. I also can't stop thinking about the Maya Angelou quote he mentions, which is lovely:
Since Jill died, I wake up every day and read a quote by Maya Angelou – “history, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”
