Christmas 2021 approaches... The second without my mum. I begin the task of planning the meals that me, my dad, sister and my family will enjoy. The traditions that Marilyn put in place live on; we'll always have a brunch with smoked salmon, bagels, bacon, avocado, croissants etc. We'll always have delicious nibbles for an evening buffet, mostly from M&S. Last year I was 8 months pregnant so this year I'll be more than making up for it by raising several toasts to Marilyn! Christmas brings her to the forefront of my mind, even more than usual (is that even possible?). I still feel lingering anger that she won't see Owen open his presents and she won't see Alice celebrating her first Christmas. But I know we will reminisce and remember. Marilyn will always be here with us. The love doesn't fade but burns stronger than ever.

Here we are in December 2021…pandemic still impacting the world and I’m bedridden after a double bunionectomy and still missing Marilyn, my dear cousin. Her advice was very important to me as I navigated moving to England from Canada and took up a teaching position. Her invitations to wonderful family Christmas’ with Stephen, Isie and Olivia were much anticipated and enjoyed. She had such sparkle and zest! She explained her always successful method of receiving satisfaction and monetary reimbursement from insurance companies and the like when they made mistakes. I have passed this on to friends and family here in Canada and it is known as the “Marilyn Method”. So, we will toast Marilyn this Christmas and send our love to her and her darling family in England. Xo. Love, Jenn.
