...and one of those times is now.
I keep on forgetting that my nan passed away at the same time as Gavin was in ICU the first time around. I'm starting to think that I just didn't process it at all at the time as I had absolutely no brain power to spare by that point. I'm only just realising this now as some friends are dealing with their own gran having had a bad stroke. I was trying to work out why my reactions were so strong when we were talking about it and then I remembered that I don't think I'd been able to react at all when it was my nan.
Perhaps the past 18 months have messed me up more than I thought. Much more likely though is that it's just called being a human. The brain can't have unlimited processing power and so it chooses to deal with stuff whenever it can; even if that means hitting you round the head with some really random memories at really bad/inappropriate times.
On another note, I've decided to write down the story of the past 18 months so I don't need to feel that I have to remember everything (this is obviously the curse of being known to have a good memory for when stuff happened and where it happened and who was there and what everyone was wearing {I don't exaggerate there!}, I feel bad when my memory isn't up to my usual standards).
(Apologies for crap grammar and bracket usage up there. I know what I mean to say but really can't work out how to phrase it properly. Blame it on being bunged up with a cold!)
In general, I'm actually doing a lot better than this post would suggest. I'm tired and have a head full of cold but everything's okay apart from that.
