There were some hilarious lines here:” as a tortoise on Valium” I was smiling through this read, even though it’s seems as though there is a deeper meaning.

The fact you got there says a lot about you and your resilience and you probably wouldn’t be writing for us all to read and enjoy. It’s International Women’s Day today, so go you!

Go you! Keep your independence as long as you are able. You have a great mindset. You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone, but the fact you did is just you being nice and informative.

So sad, his legacy lives on. It always feels lonely somehow, when a mainstay in life departs. The four sided hat was just him, my father used to wear a beret, strange what stays with us.
