42/52 2014

 Noel's four children. My cousins.

 Dad, Steven and Lou Lou.

This week's post is simple. It may be titled 42/52 2014, but in my head I call it "Goodbye Noel". 

THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY

Frida Kahlo (Mexican, 1907–1954). El Aborto (Frida and the Miscarriage), 1932. Lithograph.


GOOD

weeks late                               growing hope                                     two pink lines

                              like winning lotto without buy a lotto ticket                                    

seven year anniversary                                                picking names                                  
   realising how amazing my partner is

BAD

extreme cramps                   blood loss                                    tests confirming fears

UGLY

sobbing on the floor unable to get up                                                 physical pain           emotional breakdown                       repetition of why                        irrational fear something will happen to my two children and grandbaby
