How lovely!

As most people will know 2012 was a lovely year until the 28th September when David died suddenly.  

I really have not felt like blogging..... until today.  I have received a lovely email from a client that has restored my faith in life and made me smile.

'Hi Vanessa,

You very kindly sent my last year’s tax return and some good advice in order that I could complete my own self-assessment.

I am triumphant to say that the mission is accomplished!  I really didn’t think I would be able to do it without you!

The prevailing factors in our turbulence have been flooding and M's Mum.  One is receding, the other keeps going!  At least we have no snow, unlike your poor self and thousands of others.

I was so saddened to hear of your loss; the heartbreak of losing the beloved is beyond description and my heart goes out to you.  As you struggle to make your new normal in the months and years ahead, I pray that your memories and the love that continues, will warm you and bring comfort.

I will contact you if I need your help in the future, but I am deeply grateful for all that you have done for me, you are a true professional and a lovely lady,

Always with kindest regards,

S'

I am sitting here smiling and crying just a little, it means so much to me that S has said such kind words.  

Being without David 'sucks'; for over 35 years I had his love and support that never wavered (I was not always so kind in return) but being without my life partner is just LONELY.
