Still...

Seven years on.

Still pressing on?  ✅

Still thinking to you every day? ✅

Still seeing the bigger picture at all times? ✅

Five Years On

Never forgotten. Always remembered. Today and All Days.

I have been driving all day. What a beautiful day - the sun slanting sideways through the bare winter trees making the countryside glow like gold. In such silent vivid moments I always find joy.
 It breaks my heart silently still, and I guess it always will, that I cannot ever drive to find you again. Still, from another angle, this fact is but another jewel in my life baggage! I have many more jewels from the time I knew you. Most important of all, I have the gift you gave me, of being myself.
And so today, when I cannot give you a 50th birthday gift, I can still remember joyfully and be thankful for the time we had...

Finally, in this mild winter, here is Brother Cadfael blooming away still today in the garden!:
