Funny how the smallest of things can make you think. Robert’s daughter, Sophie, posted on my blog today and where those memories had been put to the back of my mind suddenly they were at the front of it again – it leaves me cold everytime I think about his untimely passing away.
I am lucky and know I am – something we all need to keep reminding ourselves of.
Off to London tonight to catch up with my old Police Buddies – I cannot believe I only retired in July. I dont miss it and I really thought I would. On the other hand I have more than filled any void with my School Governor duties – much to the annoyance of others no doubt!
Going to have a great weekend with the family – something Robert would have always done, make sure you spend time with your loved ones this weekend and tell them that you do – love them.
