Hello darling John
I am about to leave to go travelling ,next Saturday to be exact.
I will be in London at the weekend, and in time for Johnny's birthday, we will have a birthday breakfast together,after a family weekend.
I then get on a plane on Monday evening and arrive in Hong Kong the following afternoon, local time. I will spend a whole week with David Lara and little Olivia Grace. I will be attending their farewell to HK party. I am open to "what is I have no idea what to expect.
I will be arriving laden with gifts for each of them , mostly with a Scottish theme.
I then fly off to Beijing to spend a whole week with Philip, and again I am open to the new experiences I will meet over there. I am so looking forward to seeing Philip.
After a week of fun in Beijing I head back to HK for one night before I head off to Sydney to meet up with my dear friend of 50 years Susan.
I have a better idea of what to expect in Sydney although Susan says I will see a good few changes.
We are going to the sunshine course when I am in OZ and I hope to meet up with my cousin Hugh and his wife Sue when I am there.
It will be amazing to meet up with Libby and Gavin again , both now parents.
I am doing well, darling John, feeling positive ,a little lighter, less heartbroken, I remember you with happiness ,joy and gratitude.
You were, are, and always will be my sunshine darling John ...TT Helen x

February 7
Hello darling John
I was visiting you at your tree the other day, it is very wintery in the park yet thee is a wee hint of spring too.
I have been to Scotland for Peggy's funeral, a sad occasion, she was only six months older than me. My only "big" cousin.It was really special to see Walter again and Frances and Susan , and Peggy's boys and their families.
I stayed with Sandra and harry and that was really nice, we ate nice food and after the funeral went to my favourite pub in Balloch and drank nice wine and remembered.
I felt very tired after that, came home worked for the next two days, the collapsed over the weekend, which did me the world of good. Lots of rest and sleep and walks and movies.
I am going to see pride and prejudice tonight at The Playhouse with Tony, he then heads off to Singapore and will not be back before I leave, so this will be the last meet up till May, when he is going to teach me to play the piano
I am adjusting to my new life now, I miss you I always will ,yet I am carving out a life for myself without your presence..although I feel you are around, I talk to you picture, I think about you all the time, and it is comforting, to know, I was and am loved so unconditionally by you.what a great gift you gave me darling John.I hope I think you know that I loved you that much and still do, too.
Not long before I am off on my travels to Hong Kong ,Beijing and Australia.I am looking forward to it all enormously and if feels good to feel that way, For so long after you died, I just could not be bothered.
I bought my first daffodils of the year and remembered that you always bought them for me...
"you don't bring me flowers anymore" goes around in my head, in fact, you can't bring me flowers anymore, but I buy them on your behalf. It gives me joy.
