Sunflower Diaries

As much as I dislike watching Peppa Pig on repeat, there is one song which I like and my daughter adores.

Mummy play “rainbow rainbow” on your phone please. She also loves splashing in muddy puddles much like the Peppa character does.

The lyrics are quite lovely and contagious :

“A rainbow!

It’s got all our favorite colors in it

Red, and orange, and green, and blue

It’s a rainy, sunny day

The rainbow’s here to play

Rainbow, rainbow

Red, and orange, and yellow, and green, and purple, and blue

And indigo, too

Rainbow, rainbow

It’s a rainy, sunny day …”

My daughter like most young children loves rainbows. I keep saying they remind me of granny and it’s her way of watching over us. She loves this. Sadly, she doesn’t fully understand (as she asks for granny on face time, no sadly granny cannot face time from heaven…. If only) but likes seeing photographs and asking about our lives with granny. Seeing photos of mummy and daddy’s wedding day makes her smile – our photographer even managed to snap one of a rainbow over Loch Lomond. 

Rainbows come and go,

unlike our love will never fade, and I cherish the memories we have made.

Rainbows are amazing phenomena- I explained the science behind them (as she was getting upset as each one passed). She was happy that more would appear and we then saw a double bow that evening before bed. She was very excited.

She marvels at the beautiful colours. Who doesn’t love a rainbow, synonymous with hope, joy, promise. Her little heart lightens and cheers her up as she was feeling sad about mummy being sick (again).

She often makes me pictures and cards (to cheer mummy up) with the rainbow in colour order, usually. She is developing into a talented little artist/ very clever little girl.

She is full of positivity and embraces all life throws at her. I guess that’s my reminder for today that life is colourful and beautiful, and should be celebrated.

My miracle reminds me of this every day- gracing most days with love, smiles and hugs. She gave me four hugs on the way to her grandparents this morning. Just happy mummy was able to help her get ready for the first time in weeks. I was delighted to help her style her hair with her choice of bows and clasps… I then had my antibiotics and went back to sleep. 

I woke up able to have a shower and prepare a hearty lunch of eggs, avocado 🥑 and toast. Followed by a small snack. First day of proper food since the weekend.

I am an #endometriosiswarrior and an #adenomyosiswarrior💜. 

Let’s raise awareness and compassion for all women afflicted by these diseases. The struggles are real but I hope to bring you some #NewJoy by sharing my story. I challenge you to think of what makes you happy in life and keep being #strongwomen especially if you have entered a transition phase of your life. This is even more important as I watch my own daughter grow up and hope she does not suffer the same issues I faced. 

In summary, 

#believeinyourself❤️  #loveyourbody and #bekind 🤗😊❤️‍🩹 .

Take care of yourself. 🌻
