I'm glad to read on twitter that you have at last had an enjoyable train journey and being chatted up by the 'old' ticket collector must have made your day. Not! Maybe it was a better journey because the destination this weekend was Leeds and not Manchester, although what that then goes on to mean who knows! Still I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your man and remember just what it is you both love about each other.
It's a quiet Saturday morning when you're away and Kai is also at his daddy's. None of the 'guilty pleasure' dancing and singing that normally fills those hours before everyone disperses into the world of work. No cries of 'Seadog' (Kai's pet name for Hollie, taken from yet another Disney, Pocahontas this time). I had to make my own eggs this morning and they are never quite as good as your's. Kai is always telling me that.
I wandered into your bedroom, to look in the full length mirror of course, and as usual tripped over the many clothes still strewn on the floor - only you could tell if it was the clean washing not put away or the dirty stuff and it makes me smile. It makes me mad too, but it does make me smile. Because it's you. It's that wonderful, scatty, I don't care, but of course I do care, I'll do it tomorrow, when the whirlwind that is my social life stops just for one moment and then can I just catch up with TOWIE first, self.
I love you very much Hollie Sarah Elizabeth Evans. It's very hard not to. I loved you when you came home from hospital and straightway slept through the whole night, I love you now when you mess up my kitchen baking and I'm left with a layer of flour and icing sugar on everything for days, and I will love you forever, whoever and wherever you are. Manchester, Chicago or London?
And have I told you how very proud I am of you. Your incredible zeal for life. Your ability to make the most of all opportunities. Your desire to grab at the world by both hands, taking all it has to offer. Your love for fashion. Your brilliant friendship choices. Your ability to communicate with all kinds of people and the ease you have with them. Your passionate love you have for your nephew. Your love for young people, especially those who struggle for whatever reason. Underpinning all of this is your deep love for God, for Jesus. Wow. With God's help, a lot of your father's personality and a smattering of me, the recipe worked. I can look at you and say "we did good". "You do good."
So for now, keep at it. 'In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your paths'. Meanwhile I'll just go back into the unknown territory that is your room and pick up the numerous numbers of towels that need a wash.
See you Sunday evening as long as the trains are working ok.
Love you
Mummy xxxx
