I tried to be strong. It was hard but I found that if
I kept my head blank of all thoughts and took deep breaths whenever any painful
memory invaded it, I could just about make it. Being blank was the only
way I survived those first couple of days after the wedding – it was so
overwhelming. So many new faces, a whole new life, a new routine… I
kept telling myself that I’d feel so much better when I finally saw my
mum. Thankfully, my dream about her waking up came true. I think I
cried non-stop for an hour at her bedside when I saw her eyes, fully
open. They were so warm and you wouldn’t have been able to tell that they
had been closed for over a fortnight. It was also the first time my
husband was allowed to visit the hospital, and the first time he saw me cry so
much. It brought us closer together and I’m really glad he was with me.
Things have been very tough ever since and the New Year
started with a mix of pain, worry, tears and also some laughter and
excitement. It was the first time in my life that I literally had no free
time whatsoever. If I wasn’t trying to be a good wife, a good
daughter-in-law, a good employee at work, I was trying to be a good daughter
and visiting mum in hospital every day after work. She’s been improving
slowly. She still hasn’t regained her speech, mainly because she can’t
swallow, and the right side of her body is pretty much paralysed, but things
could be a lot worse so we’re extremely thankful that she is still with us.
All we can do is hope and pray that she continues to get better.
Life remains hectic and unpredictable but the pain is
bearable because I have a husband who is very supportive and knows how to make
me laugh. I don’t know when I’ll be able to continue with my writing, and
I apologise to fans of the Poison Blood series who are eagerly awaiting
Book 3. I promise you all, as soon as I have time to write regularly, I
will continue with the vampire romance – hopefully you’ll think that it was
worth the wait.
In the meantime however, I am planning to publish my second
contemporary romance novel (the first one being my debut Chasing Pavements).
I’d written and edited this forthcoming book a while ago, so there’s not much
to do apart from uploading it to Amazon and Smashwords. I have a summer
2013 launch date in mind for this book, so watch this space.
