I lost the love of my life and sweetheart and pal J last Tuesday. We buried her on Saturday in a graveyard overlooking the bay.
The people of Bantry and beyond showed J and my family and myself so much love.
I don't know when or if I will post again for a while. But I will publish any comments on here.
God bless you all.👍
Oh my God. I have never been so shocked by a post in my life. I am so sorry to read this, Dave. We all send our best thoughts to you and will wait. Grief can't be rushed. We will be here when you get back, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteDave I'm sending you heartfelt wishes, I hope you can still find the peace and love in your smallholding and plants, hopefully we will get to hear more of your tales here, if not I wish you well. I for one love to read your blog, and receive your helpful comments on my blog.

ReplyDeleteOh Dave - that's such shocking news. You have my heartfelt condolences, although words are so inadequate at a time like this. I hope you are surrounded by family and friends, and find solace in gentle sun and the fresh air of your allotment. When you feel like posting, we will be relieved to hear from you. grief can't be rushed, and pretending it's ok is, in my experience at least, just making it worse.
