I'm sitting in my daughter's lounge with her laptop, not something I'm used to, and hoping this will be published. They're all in bed - not early risers - so it's just Gemma and me.
As y0u all kn0w J0hn passed away 0n M0nday. By the way, I'm using the zer0 0n here because the pr0per letter 0 d0esn't w0rk very well and I have t0 hit it several times!
N0w that I'm 0n line I d0n't really kn0w what t0 say except that I miss him s0 very much and that I will tell y0u m0re ab0ut the end 0f J0hn's j0urney when I get h0me after the funeral.
He's being buried 0n M0nday 5th September, his birthday, at the beautiful W00dland Burial Gr0und. I've been very busy with J0 arranging everything but in a way it helps because it's all f0r him.
Thank y0u s0 much f0r all y0ur c0mf0rting w0rds. I want t0 resp0nd but it's difficult here. Nikki's h0use is n0t the m0st peaceful 0r 0rganised but it is helping having them all ar0und me and the rest 0f my family have been w0nderful.
Signing 0ff f0r a while n0w but I'll be back with y0u all s00n.
