It's fourteen years to the day since my soul mate and best friend Margaret died. So how have I got on since then? Well it was a long way back from a very dark place but a very good friend pulled me back to my feet, encouraged me or gave me a kick up the arse whenever I needed it and now I am in a good place. There were a few times when I slid back down the slope but pulled myself up again. Now when Margaret is mentioned,which is a lot, the words and thoughts go to the happy times we had and I realise how very lucky I was to have her in my life.

I hope you are all ready for the big day,those that celebrate it that is, I will raise a glass to all my friends and loved ones,the toast will be to absent friends
