Tuesday 13th April
Today an online friend from bookcrossing.com sent us a card all the way from Australia containing some beautiful handwritten lines:
"Everyone needs beauty - places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and sould alike."
I showed it to John and it brough tears to his eyes.
Poor love hasn't felt well enough on some days to take even a short journey. He had a good day yesterday and we went to the beach for a gentle walk with a dear friend and my beloved granddaughter, Kim. Today, however, he is feeling really rough and spent most of the day in his pyjamas.
I feel so helpless and don't know what to do to ease his discomfort.
I hope that we will find a beautiful place one day.
