TWO PLACES AT ONCE submitted by:
Jacquie
So starting from the day he left I started compiling poems and short stories that reminded me of him, along with little mementos I could find that meant a lot to us. Every day I wrote a page or two on blank paper about what my son and I had been doing, how much we missed him, and couldn't wait to see him again. Needless to say as the month went on the letters became progressively harder for me to write, because I would always end up crying. A few days before his arrival back I created a scrapbook out of coloured construction paper, coloured glue, sparkly pens etc. I added into it all the letters I had written and the mementos and poems and stories. We he got back during our romantic candle lit evening together (finally) I gave him this (what seemed something so small to me after missing him for a month) book I had created. He cried for hours as he flipped through it, saying how he almost felt like he had been in two places at once, and that I made him feel like he was here with me all along. |
