For the most part of this month my laptop remained closed. There was a great instinctual need to ‘switch off’ and that is exactly what I did.
This year, August get-aways have made more sense to me than ever before. Our little family happily disrupted everyday habits, sidestepped painful memories and headed to various locations around the island for three whole weeks. Whilst staying at hotels and apartments beachside and visiting remote villages in the mountains:
I read three books.
Sipped mojitos.
Danced on the beach.
Savoured fresh fish and ridiculous amounts of ice cream.
But most importantly I spent every single waking moment with family and friends.
A week ago we returned home, unpacked our bags and settled into a routine of sorts. We have said goodbye to the beautiful beaches of Agia Napa and Paphos, goodbye to the late night strolls and constant wet hair and now we’re ready for the next part. I hope you are too. See you soon x
Papa and I are thankful to every single person who remembered Lily Rose. Whether you spread the word about the disease that took Lily or sent a thoughtful message our way, please know that our heavy hearts were unburdened by your love and respect for our baby girl. Thank you all.
