‘Pieces of him in pieces of me. Pieces of him where they shouldn’t be’

Just finished ‘after you’ by JoJo Moyes (I did sit on the tractor for half hour first 👌🏼)

407 pages of humour, heart-strings and every day life for Lou Clark … learning to live a life after Will 💔

JoJo has captured the essence of family relationships with such delightful accuracy you find yourself living with and loving these people. I mean, they’re real right? Not just characters on a page.

And now she’s on a flight to New York, having left her new soulmate behind at the airport. Shit, why has the kitchen roll run out just when you need a piece? 😭😭😭

I would start the 3rd part as I have it – ‘still me’ – but I can’t. Not yet. I need to give Lou the seven hours it takes to fly to New York, to grieve a little and perhaps partake in an in-flight vodka and coke.

💔

What have I missed the last two days?

God, I’ve got so much to tell you. But I’m exhausted. I never knew that making a permanent effort not to respond to pretty much 80% of what mother talks about could be so tiring! It was like I had my counsellors words next to me at all times, like my little genie of the lamp 👌🏼💫

Tomorrow I promise, we’ll do tea and biscuits. Have you a favourite? Custard creams? Bourbons? Pink Wafers?
