May and a Departure in Majimaze Musing!

Hi there Readers!
I did an entry this morning,a long one , then saved it and it disappeared into the ether completely to my disgust. So because I really wanted to get one up, here I am again! May was good for me except of course Pollys departure to Christchurch whch actually wasn’t unexpected to me as her longtime friend. She had been very unhappy and a bit grumpy for a long time and I sensed , rather than knew for sure that she had had enough of here. The Island has changed quite significantly ,and it was no longer as she remembered and loved it.
That was really the underlying reason. I on the other hand can adapt as I have family here and that is a good reason to stay.

The signs of change were there before I think she knew it.Polly was desperately upset and affected by the week that Donald Trump became President and Leonard Cohen died. And, because I had hinted ,after much reading, researching and viewing, that THAT might be the case and that Hilary Clinton might not win, she fell into despair.Then Leonard Cohen died and that was that. I am afraid I didn’t help. I told her she was being a bit silly as we had no vote and I didn’t really care and that I didn’t actually adore Leonard Cohen so it didn’t bother me. And that is genuinely what I feel. After that, I couldn’t really discuss anything with her apart from family and other neutral subjects.

One of the things that drew me to Polly all those years ago was that she WAS and IS very different from me.It was fun and challenging debating with her.Suddenly it wasn’t.

Now, I know things and people change all the time.As they should. And I sort of tried to modify my behaviour.Not a good idea really. I can be quite blunt and I tried not to be. Then she started to complain about the Island. On and on. I live here and I love it. Then I realised that all was not well with Polly, her wonderful sense of humour and fun had gone and I sensed also that anything I did would only make it worse. Its a strange feeling. That sort of changed everything sad to say.

Anyway, I won’t dwell. I an very grateful for having Polly in my life and very blessed. She is and was very loving,kind warm loyal and delghtfully funny friend. She saved me after my beloved Richie died and her kindness and gentleness was very important. She kept ou r family ‘s stuff that I disclosed to her and needed to vent and that is essential and I hers. She is and has been a wonderful loving friend and I will forever love her, support he.and all I ask is that she be happy again and safe.As we age,it is important to be near our families and that was another HUGE reason for Polly. Her health is not the best and she needs to be able to walk freely and talk with others and be herself. Bring back the lovely Polz please!And thankyou hun for our years of tears,laughter,theatre crazy days and nights!God Bless you hun.

May has been good for me otherwise.No more storms or crazy lady and really nice weather and lots of people laughing with me and making me feel good as I did my errands on Tuesday.

My family is fine and thriving and my son and his fiance’ have bought a property down the East Coast which means I can take a bus down there for a change!

I trust you are all well and living and loving happily and being kind to each other.And I will always give you,
Lotsa love and God Blessxxx
