The sea, beautiful and calm, the setting sun reflecting on the water. The mountains in the distance, shrouded by cloud on their snow covered summits. The coast stretching out as far as my eyes can see. Two girls playing in the distance who like Thom have lost a parent. Another person who has seen what I've seen and felt what I've felt is close by. The connection between us and on a level that only two people who've witnessed the death of the one closest to you can feel. The friendship, the love, the empathy for each other and the paths walked to reach this point right now. the tears, the laughter and the confusion of all of this shared between us. The smiles from strangers walking by not knowing the history but smiling at people embracing life fully. At that moment I'm on my own sat on top of the Trig point. Thoughts go to Claire and how much she would love this place. Feeling sorrow that Claire can't see this with her own beautiful green eyes and that I can't share the beauty I can see right now with her. I also wish Thom was here to see this place and there is a guilt that he's not also here. I will bring him here and share it with him.....a very special way to end the weekend. Thank you for sharing it with me. I know it is also a special place full of memories for you also.......x
