2 Years…

Mon 24th January 2005 MamaJunkYard

I had sworn never to return to this cyber cafe in London. Thankfully there aren’t any nosy and unruly children but the motion activated door chime is driving me mad. Each time someone steps in or out we are subjected to the most irritating sound that is not quite a chime and not quite a beep.

I came here for one reason only – it is exactly 2 years since the Busia Plane crash which means my mother has been in a coma for exactly two years. I have no idea why but I figured that this is a blog worthy event. I am not even sure what to blog about. Do people mark coma anniversaries? If so what do you do? It’s not like a death, wedding or birthday…this is one odd event yet somehow I feel compelled to mark it.

The report on the crash has finally been released – the crash was as a result of negligence by the owners of the plane and apparently passengers and their family members ( I guess that includes me) are not happy with what they term as Government’s empty pledges. I have not seen a copy of the report so I shall hold my comments until then.

Well, I guess that is it…not sure what else to say.

    I marked it by being grateful that your mother has made so much progress healing, and will continue to do so.

    Touching.
    The detachedness of your writing is poignant, a whisper of wind over a raw wound.
    I join you and yours in praying for your Mum, she is loved and that can make ALL the difference.
