Time to take a break from an unbelievably busy week and remember Elwin.
He's been gone four years today (6th November). I miss him of course for all sorts of reasons, but having moved beyond the regret; the crippling tiredness; the brain fog of bereavement, I can remember him now with a smile, with appreciation for the life he chose to lead with me.
I can remember his laugh, and his antics
his sense of adventure...
And what a good family man he was.
If he was still alive, well maybe the roof wouldn't leak, I wouldn't be so tired, and Kitty would have a companion astronomer, but maybe Bryony would never have become the singer she has, and I wouldn't have learned how to use an electric screw driver.

With All Saints just passed, it's a poignant time to remember those we miss.
Yes Cro - a more meaningful observation of the commercialised Halloween we are subjected to here.
He looks and sounds a lovely man. You were plainly blessed in each other.
Has it really been four years? Seems like only yesterday....
Thinking of you and the girls, Jeneane. Elwin was a lovely man. Always so helpful and practical with a twinkle in his eye. He is missed by many.
Love

Steve: Thank you Steve. I was lucky to find him and the twenty year age gap was part of the magic - for nearly 25 years.
