sorry i have not been around much this year but after a bad start i had some help from bereivment councilors and finally gave myself permission to let go and move on. My journey back started at the end of May when i decided to travel up to Loch Lommond in Scotland and leave my dear husbands ashes on its banks under a large oak tree on the Buchanan estate. My husbands ancestors were Buchanans and so as he is the last of his line it felt right to return him home.

I had a wonderfull experience a few days later when i was at Kenloch leven that made me know my husband was happy with what i had done. See facebook
My little Bambi has done a lot of miles this year because after leaving Stan behind me i then traveled onto the Isle of Sky. for a few nights and then back down the country till i reach Shell island where my tiny dog was attacked by two large ones and he ran blind in panic into the sea and was drown. Needless to say i was totaly devastated because he was my main reason to get up and do on a morning.
two weeks after being home i had lost weighht and also the reason to live but my dear daughter and my friend decided that i needed another dog and to shorten the story i ended up with Ben. he is a chihuahua x jack russell and is now coming on five months old and is totaly adorable. he loves traveling in the Bambi and has never been any trouble.
I do not do much embroidery right now but have made some lap quilts and totes for charities. Life is calming down a little now but i am still going out and about and will be attending an Halloween gathering of the folk group, and following that up with spending Christmas with them rather than being alone.
anyone wanting to see what i have been up to can check out my facebook.
Folk ask how are you and i would say Fine. but what that meant was that i was
Frightened.
Insecure.
Nervouse.
Exhausted.
But the word was what they wanted to hear.
For those who have recently lost a loved one. be assured that time does help the ache to go away. but it will not remove the wonderfull memories of a life you shared.
