It has been an unusual week. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, with brilliant sunshine and a deep blue sky I said goodbye to my lovely grandmother as she slept peacefully in her orange room. It was a fitting ending for someone who was such a colourful character. Gone but absolutely not forgotten.
Last night I said lots of goodbyes, this time followed by a hearty handshake and the occasional manly thump on the arm. My boys, whom I had nurtured since that first day in September 2000 have graduated and the birds have flown from the nest. I was lucky enough to give a little speech in their honour (and spit some bars for them too!). I shall be speaking again on Sunday when I say my final farewell for the week. It's funny how you find strength in adversity, but it pumps through you like the biggest rush you can imagine, and it (hopefully) lasts a lot longer. Goodbye my friends, you know where I am if you need me. X
