Joy Young 1928 - 2011
Thank you all for your kind words about Dylan - I really appreciated them. But if I'm honest, I was posting the blog about my cat because - sad though I was to have lost him - that was the thing I could talk about at the time. There has been another, far greater loss to our family this past week.
This time last week I learned with much sadness that my dear Mother in Law, had died suddenly. She was almost 83 and a little frail, but still we hadn't expected it, and it came as a real shock to everyone. Saturday should have been her 83rd birthday and she was supposed to be coming to us for a special weekend. We put up her cards anyway to mark her special day.
Joy had been part of my life for the last 40 years. She is going to leave a great hole in my heart.
Kate, what a time you're having of it.
ReplyDeleteSincerest condolences on your unexpeted loss, and wishing you and your family a long life with many happy memories of your mom-in-law, Joy.
