I Miss Mummy sooooo much!!!! :'(
Being back in 'man' mode has really allowed me to see how easily 'Rosie' regressed with mummy around. This time has allowed me to see how much of a part 'Rosie' and 'Mummy' are in my life now and how much I really do like/want 'need' it.
In reality, it has only been for a short period of time, but for me and little 'Rosie', it seems like it has been forever!
I feel like I am some kind of an addict withdrawing from drugs!
Over time you don't really fully realise how you change and adapt until you have to suddenly back change again!
I miss the feeling of being submerged in my 'little' role. I miss Mummy and I miss all the special little things that we did and time we have had so far. I miss the dependency and closeness we had. I miss mummies love, affection and acceptance.
I miss the times I just layed in mummies lap and stared up deeply into her loving eyes. In those moments, there was only me and mummy in the whole world! I also miss the closeness and connection of ANR. ANR in itself is a such a bonding act, that when you are suddenly withdrawn from that alone, the acute loss that is felt can be overwhelming!
The adult part of me feels as though something is missing. I know what it is, but another part of me is trying to ignore it. I need to be an adult again for mummies sake! Ultimately, It is my lover and best friend that is not well and at the moment, she needs me to be strong for her. I am constantly hoping and praying that she will get better soon. In the mean time... little Rosie will have to wait before she come out to play again :(
One thing a I have come to learn and love while being a 'carer' is the level of closeness, love and attention that you give without even thinking about it! Your whole list of priorities change and instead of dwelling inside your own head and worrying about how you feel, now you now suddenly have 'greater' responsibilities that you need to fulfill.
I love being Rosie lots and lots and lots.... but ultimately, I love mummy, my lover and soul-mate much, much, much more!
