Hey everyone,

Hope you are all having a good weekend. I am enjoying having a slow Sunday morning, having coffee, doing some chores and did my skincare this morning. I went to TK Maxx yesterday and found some really good finds- some make-up, skincare, and also two books I have been wanting to read. I actually had to be quite strict with myself as everytime I go in there, I get too excited and want everything! The shops are all looking festive now..

This is quite a bittersweet feeling. I have always enjoyed this run up to Christmas, but Christmas Day will also mark one year since my father’s passing. Tomorrow, will actually be exactly a year since I found out he had metastatic cancer. I was actually at work, just finishing off a day of seeing patients. I cannot believe it has been a year. This last year has all been a blur.

One of my friends said I have been doing well since the last few weeks. I do not feel this but at the same time I do not know what ‘okay’ ‘well’ or ‘happy’ even is anymore. Everything feels empty after my father’s passing. He left an incredibly large hole which no one can fill.

However, I feel so lucky to have felt a love so deep.

I hope you all have a good day!

With love,

Amina xo
