Sharp Sadness!I sit here looking at pictures of my mum and dad and smile back at their carefree happy faces. They were so young and such an attractive couple and so in love! I see them arm in arm on a street corner being photographed by a street photographer. Then there they are on their wedding day and don't they look pleased with themselves. And then there is that glowing, smiling honeymoon picture! They were so sparkly looking and so young, oh so very young! I smile at the picture of them both clowning and hugging. That picture was taken about 6 months before I was born, so you could say that I was in that picture! I look at myself being cuddled in my dad's arms. He looks so proud and I look so comfortable and so cute. In every picture my mum has a cheeky, naughty teasing smile on her face. My dad has a coy, shy mysterious look about him. I'm a bit of a mixture I think. I sit and look with my heart and my eyes. I feel a sharp sadness. I wonder who will sit and remember me in this way after I have left this world! I never had a child! Who will remember me? Who will miss me and feel the sense of loss that I feel right now. I feel such a sharpness in my heart at the thought of having no one to miss me! I sit and look at the pictures of my beautiful mum and dad and remember all their memories for them. I smile with a tear in my eyes! Joy Weare. 5th March, 2005.
