How can it be 6 months since Mike passed last August? We finished out the summer months and went through the autumn. Here we are half a year later as the winter months are waning. Daffodils, snowdrops, quinces, crocuses and daphne are all beginning to bloom. It’s the yearly reminder of new life that comes with each spring.
Mike had told me he didn’t want to die in the winter. He wanted to die when life was still easy. When we all wore shorts and flip flops. When you can hop your bike and not have to think of keeping yourself warm and dry.
About two months ago a kitten found me. He arrived at my doorstep starving, scared and filthy. He quickly stole my heart. However it was the ‘M’ on his forehead that really took my breath away. Love at first sight!
