Since 23rd November it feels as though my life has been turned upside down. My husband of very many years had a stroke and we said our final goodbye on December 7th. We have always spent so much time together walking in the beautiful countryside and along the coast. Although he wasn’t a writer, we both shared a love of photography and he was always there to help me with selecting a good composition.
A few days after he had passed away I was out on a sunny, frosty morning with my camera and was very aware of him and what he would have been saying to me as we walked through the woodland and by the lochside. Moments like this I still feel that he is with me. The beauty of the natural world is a great comfort.

Love Endures
Questions remain,
faith suspended,
doubt always there,
belief upended.
Uncertain
of what lies ahead,
what faces us beyond
that final curtain.
When we face the end,
will we see and know
beyond that cloud
of unknowing?
Live for the now.
Of the present we are sure.
Though our lives will end,
love will endure.
