My loss

 Hello to all my friends, it is with a heart broken into a thousand pieces, that I'd like you to know my Dearest Darling husband of 59 years passed, on 17 November. He was a man who worked hard all his life, who did everything to make me happy, who loved me more than anyone could. I was so lucky to him.

He was loved dearly by his and my family, and with so many people who have called saying what a gentle, kind man he was, who would do anything for everyone. 

I share this, as I am, as you can imagine devastated, I've been lax in my DT work and with my commenting, throughout his illness, and this will continue for a little while, as I deal with everything and grieve. 

Thank you for your continuing support throughout his illness and a little while longer.  

I have added him in his loved garden and produce. I hope you'll forgive my indulgence for sharing my wonderful man.

 God Bless you, my darling.

Faithie, what a fabulous head of white hair he had! AND a green thumb too! I knew he'd be handsome, you picked him! He's with Jesus now and out of pain, and I know you cannot imagine life without him yet. I just pray for your son to understand, will make it easier for you. My prayers and virtual hugs continue on for you. Remember, we are here if you need us! Much love, Aimes xox
