Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light. My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

  1. Terrific collection of night photos. Like I told Dan, of all the times of day in this series, I like the nighttime photos the best. Your first one conjures up lots of thoughts.

    I especially like night in the garden and Dublin City, nighttime in church, a sprain in the night (OUCHIE!), and the Caribbean shots. All good choices sis.

    1. Thank you PV … I am so glad you spotted Vlad out on one of his wild nights out…. He is my immortal Vampire Bear … He’s really bad 😞

  2. These are wonderful, Willow. I love the photos in the dark churches and the ones with snow falling. Vlad is pretty cool, too. I think the photo in Dublin is my favorite but it’s a hard choice.

    Thanks again for inspiring/suggesting the series. We’ve all had fun with it..

    1. Thank you Dan it was an honour to be part of Cees legacy bless her! There is something special about photos of the night they are almost magical aren’t they.

      Churches and snow are my favourites… Doubling has special memories too …as for Vlad he speaks highly of you …did you guess he’s a friend of Morgarna!!

      1. She is hanging in the wings … Nagging keeps offering to help with my WIP says she fancies a jump to Glasgow!! ….Oh! 😱 Could you imagine the carnage!
        She’s pretty impatient… I keep hearing her tapping those long nails on my table!!!

      2. Oh, she could either be helpful or make a mess of things. I don’t get the impression there’s a middle ground with her.

Heartland Echoes

Welcome to my “Heartland Echoes,” where I aim to share my poems with the world, along with my survival story and autobiography of childhood abuse, motivational quotes, and much more. Through my words, I hope to inspire others to share their own stories and experiences. Each poem is a piece of my heart and soul, along with a story of a traumatic past, crafted with inspiration, Hope, faith, love and passion. I believe that by sharing our art and emotions, I’ll be able to connect with others on a deeper level and create a sense of community.
