Tomorrow I will be moving accross country to be nearer my family. We came here to the Midlands when Gary's job moved twenty years ago. The plan was always to go back south when we retired. Sadly it was not to be, and I am making the return journey alone.
I would not say I have come to terms with losing Gary in such a cruel way, I doubt I ever will. Slowly, inch by inch, I am learning to cope without him, and accept what my counsellor calls "the next chapter of my life".
I am thankfull to everyone on the Mac site for support and inspiration It has been a great priviledge to share experiences, hopes and dreams, but now, I feel the time has come to let go.
Wishing you all peace and strength for your journeys
