I, too, have enjoyed getting to know both HG's and so appreciated the love and devotion shared in your family. I noticed that you had received advice on healing: long walks together followed by a glass of wine! Great advice. We will toast you this evening after our walk.

I hope you don’t mind.<br /><br />What an incredible journey you (and Bertie) have shared with both of your parents, and then with us through your blog. Though I’ve not kept up with the regularity that I wish, I’ve still learned so many lessons of love and devotion and dedication and courage and strength from you. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life with us. What a lovely tribute to your mother. I hope that very soon all of the positive memories start to fill the hole in your heart and your life that you are undoubtedly feeling now. My sincere condolences, Gail. Hug Bertie and cuddle close with him.

You, my WFT buddy, have step up to the tribute plate today with this most beautiful poem about 'our' Human Granny. <br />We thought of her as ours too.<br /><br />The wedding picture of Gail's parents is absolutely stunning and in beautiful condition. I can see from all the photos HG developed her signature smile early.<br />Mom recently watched a movie about the era in which she lived. The main character said, ladies of that ear had gumption HG had in truck loads.<br /><br />Gail thank you for sharing your mom and dad with us over the years. Truly loved all the stories, pictures of functions with HG smiling surrounded by all who loved her..<br />I'm so glad you have the blog posts to look back and smile and say Mother lived her life to the fullest. Gosh even addressing Christmas cards in 2017.<br />Take care of yourself and Bertie you need to keep up that hugging you are doing.<br />With love and hugs Madi and CeciliaMy Mind's Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014097754516123017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-40191060177654019532018-03-25T08:51:11.130+01:002018-03-25T08:51:11.130+01:00As Angus said nothing more beautiful than a life w...As Angus said nothing more beautiful than a life well lived and HG certainly did that, Her beautiful, kind and loving smile said it all.
