Surrounded by kindness and love

 My best friend had a good send off today. Her lovely family included me in every aspect of her funeral and I've been surrounded by so much kindness and love today. They're closer than family to me and Marian would be so pleased to know this. I just can't get my head around the fact that I'll never see her again. She's left a whacking great hole in Tony and my life. We can't imagine a ceilidh without her.

 I'm going to start walking again tomorrow morning though it won't be the same without her. I don't want to walk with a group but will cherish the early morning and think of Marian as I stroll along the routes we used to take.
