I am feeling so sad lately. We have lost so many loved ones.....6 in less than 5 years and 4 of those to cancer. The funeral for our good friend and neighbour was held on Friday and though we were pro-active in helping out any way we could, leading up to his dying and then in preparation for the funeral, now I cannot get him or the family out of my head. He has left behind a lovely wife and two gorgeous daughters in their early 20's. They truly are such a lovely family and I wish they weren't having to suffer so! He had been fighting his cancer for 2 years....was diagnosed nearly 3 years after me but he had cancer when he was 24 and beat it then. This time it was in-operable and unfortunately the RT wasn't able to stop the spread to his brain and liver. :( 

Although I am feeling tearful and constantly they are on my mind, day and night, I am trying to gee us up and get out and about as he would be if he was still with us. <3 I kinda feel we owe it to those who are gone to make every minute count I just wish we could ease the pain for the family......It all seems so flat now the funeral is done and they must now carry on with 'normal' life without him. :(

Sending hugs to all those suffering loss....may your pain ease and days brighten so you may hear the Spring arriving with hope in your hearts. <3
