A final goodbye

THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS (and people that I don't know) FOR HELPING TO MAKE THE LOSS OF MY OLDEST DAUGHTER, FIONA, EASIER TO BEAR! YOU HAVE ALL MADE SO MUCH DIFFERENCE - I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!

Hard to believe that today, we have the celebration of life service for Fiona. We will be getting together with various friends to share memories of our brave daughter. It will have been two weeks since she passed away peacefully (though suddenly and unexpectedly), in hospital, with her family at her bedside.

This photo, that I almost titled "Beyond the clouds", was taken on 7 December 2014, on the way to the Kananaskis area of the mountains for the day with friends, Cathy and Terry. Sunrise briefly turns the mountain peaks and slopes a glorious pink.
