I have recently been reading some posts on various blogs, eloquently worded, and clearly poured directly from the soul. Some touching, some inspiring, some just beautiful.
As a person so shallow that I’m almost two-dimensional, (in fact I’ve seen baking trays with more depth,) I would consider it very unlikely that such heart-felt outpourings into blog world would ever emanate from my keyboard. However, I have always considered myself to be a bit nifty at putting a coherent sentence together, as and when required, to suit any need. Seems I was wrong.
My mother’s best friend, whom I have known nearly all my life, has been battling cancer for about five years now. Yesterday my mum told me that there was no more treatment that could help her, only palliative care. And words failed me.
I should send a card, but I don’t know what to write. I should go round and take flowers, but I don’t know what to say. How do you say the right thing when there are no words?
