I shrunk a cardigan you knitted for Eliza years ago.....the girls had put it on a snowman in the garden....I will make it into a cushion.....wool too beautiful to waste. I've been thinking this weekend of the way you always approached snow driving with a bit of a relish. I'm not quite so brave.... You would have liked to see the girls sledging .... they had fun... so did me and Nick... I think you might have worried about our hips,... and the girls getting cold.

I saw some lovely woodpeckers this morning and thought how much Dorothy would have liked those....I think the same thing whenever I see a beautiful bird or flower, which is literally every day.

If I should ever leave you whom I love To go along the Silent Way, grieve not, Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk Of me as if I were beside you there, (I'd come...I'd come, could I but find a way! But would not tears and grief be barriers? And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, Please do not let the thought of me be sad... For I am loving you just as I always have... You were so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still to do... So many things to say to you... Remember that I did not fear... It was just leaving you that was hard to face... We cannot see Beyond...But this I know; I loved you so... 'Twas heaven here with you! Missing you every day! Anette, Graham, Eliza and Jamie
