Dear Kalu, I am so sorry and send my deep condolences. You and your husband have been in my daily prayers and you will continue to be so.

My sincere condolences Kalu nothing prepares you for this but the love of (and for) a good man will never leave you and he will have slipped away knowing you were with him to the end. flowers

Kalu, I am so sorry for your loss. You have cared for him so devotedly and his peaceful death at home with you holding his hand is a tribute to that.

Sorry to read your news Kalu glad you have lots of support from your family 🌺🌺

kittylester Tue 27-Aug-24 10:25:02

Oh, Kalu, I am so sorry to hear your news. You must be reeling.

Foolhardy daughters are of no consequence in the face of your news.

kittylester Tue 27-Aug-24 10:22:31

Thank you for the good wishes for DD. She collapsed at checkin and is now in a wheelchair waiting to board. Assuming they let her fly.

I am not sure whether to be more concerned, which we obviously are, or hopping mad that they went in the first place!!

Gingster, I'll hold your hand!!

Marydoll Tue 27-Aug-24 10:21:04

Oh, Kalu, I am heartbroken for you. You must be devastated.
I remember R. commenting in the background, when we had our lengthy phone calls, indeed a lovely man.
Take care, my friend. x

Bellasnana Tue 27-Aug-24 10:21:04

Kalu heartfelt condolences on your very sad loss.💐

Kalu Tue 27-Aug-24 10:14:13

Good morning dear friends. It is with the heaviest of hearts I am posting with the news my darling husband died on the 23rd
I nursed him at home until he peacefully slipped away as I held his hand.
Our darling girls and GDs plus extended loving family have and continue to be such a strong support.

I have lost not only R who was the love of my life but my best friend.

Good morning from a very wet and horrible Central Scotland. We are meeting my DSiL later for coffee and catch up at the cafe at the base of the Wallace Monument surely it will be quieter today. Many of the tour buses stop there but only for a very short time they can’t really fit photos, coffee and the toilet in! It is a case of decide your priorities. There have been a lot of foreign cars and motorbikes there too but I fail to understand why lots of healthy young people stand in a huge queue to get the small free bus up and down Abbeycraig. It takes longer to wait than walking up and down does.
Not much planned this week it will be weather based activities.
Glad I picked some hydrangeas for my DSiL last night or she wouldn’t have been getting them, they have been wonderful this year. Not much longer to holiday time and some welcome su.

Good morning Mick and all from a mixed up weather wise northwest coast.
Gardener came yesterday, which pleased me, but hasn’t cut down a hedge as much as I asked for. It was a domestic day with ironing and tidying. Today I go to the music club so will have a little run through of my songs. I’m not sure if I’m ‘on the desk’. Sore throat last night and sneezing, hope I haven’t a cold coming on. Big decision today, shall I wear dress and bare legs? Probably the last time for bare legs…

Safe travels brook and thoughts to kittylester🌺

Morning from South Lanarkshire. My windows remind me of the fish shop when I was a child. They had water permanently running down them, presumably keeping the display cool.
It’s actually quite hard to remain upbeat in the face of this constant heavy rain. Not having a car now doesn’t help, I am really glad of the raincoat I got in Norway last year, it is totally waterproof and boy has it earned its keep this ‘summer’.

Visited my 89 year old sister in law yesterday and took nice M&S sandwiches and cake for lunch. She added a gin and tonic which cheered us both up!

Off to Giffnock today to do some post school childminding, it will be worth the journey.

I haven’t had time to post since I saw the picture of your jacket karma, it was amazing, totally professional, how wonderful to have that level of skill.

Safe journey home brook and I hope kittylester’s daughter is okay.

Good morning Mick and everyone from Carlisle where it looks like we'll have a day of sunshine and showers.
It was chilly yesterday evening, the heating came on again. I was glad of it as suddenly after lunch I was struck by the onset of some infection and spent the evening on the sofa wrapped in my fleece throw to ward off the chills within and without.
I'm still muzzy headed this morning so will pace myself gently through the usual household chores.

I successfully got rid of some kitchen items yesterday morning having had a sort out of my kitchen cupboards. Then a long chat with DS2 in Australia. How wonderful technology can be these days!

I hope you all have a good day.

Good morning from an overcast Mid Lancs. Already had a spot of rain and the breeze is coming from an easterly direction which is making things cooler than they might be at the end of August.

Oh dear.
