...time to say thank you from my heart

To all the dedicated professional and caring staff at the hospital and the hospice who looked after Barry
for every card, email, letter, phone call and comment on the blog
for the hot meals on the doorstep when I got home at night
for the flowers - freesias, scented narcissus and hyacinths, gerberas, daffodils, fritillaries, tulips, cineraria, iris, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, lilies and protea
for the poems
for the helpful links on blogs and websites
for the baking
for the healing oil
for the donations to the hospice
to Carolyn for the beautiful service
to the funeral directors and the manager of the restaurant who made the day easier
for the offers of help
for the plants, and the memorial tree in the Yorkshire Dales
for the tribute from York Civic Trust
for the countless acts of kindness and love we experienced from family, friends, neighbours and from people I have never met

Thank you.

I am so touched by all the goodwill that surrounds me and am reminded that even in an age of frightening news, everyday goodness is still all around every day, hour and minute.

We are both going through difficult times in different ways and I, like you, am thankful for the generosity of spirit and the kindness of people when times are tough. My thoughts have been with you.

Thank you Elaine. Likewise. Strange and wonderful how the worst can bring out the best in response, isn't it.

I've been very touched too to read people's comments here and to witness that much kindness. I think it is not only human nature but also a reflection of how loved and appreciated you and your blog are. I've also been touched at how willing you have been to be visible here and share moments of a truly difficult, overwhelming and vulnerable time. That takes a lot of courage. Thank you for allowing us in and letting us give a little bit back. x
