Thank yo...We had a brilliant gossip! Great fun. <br /><br />Thank you very much, Haricot. Everyone, if you haven't visited Haricot's Japanese blog yet, please do so, it is lovely.<br /><br />There is quite a sour article in today's Times by John O'Connell, saying that his death couldn't possibly have been tranquil - but my mother also died of pancreatic cancer and, looking back on it, it was the most peaceful and dignified death you could wish for. In her own bed, in no pain (albeit on a low dose of morphine) and only two days after she had been driving and walking her dog. Though not simultaneously.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-58228482444271764402011-11-02T09:33:14.928+00:002011-11-02T09:33:14.928+00:00The eulogy was beautiful.

He was difficult because he had high expectations and he was driven to do what he loved.<br /><br />I admire that so.<br /><br />And your pleasure in Gus...<br /><br />Makes me smile :-DRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469442580348062913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-20964171233825621152011-11-02T09:22:44.986+00:002011-11-02T09:22:44.986+00:00He died surrounded by loved ones.

It's always good to see a new one. I must admit I like them better when they start to communicate, about 12 months, but never having had any of my own, it's vicarious for me, really.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201835677426254567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-6034357480201711532011-11-01T21:13:14.175+00:002011-11-01T21:13:14.175+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201835677426254567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-67816848150297263122011-11-01T21:04:44.273+00:002011-11-01T21:04:44.273+00:00Hello Z:

How carefully crafted is this picture of a brother, a man and, also, possibly, a genius of our time. How well it conveys a life lived to the full with beauty seen in the simplest things and joy taken in daily events. Surely, a lesson for us all and clearly something to which you fully subscribe with your love of family and friends..Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
