The year of magical thinking

Today would have been my Richards 75th Birthday, he is gone and he doesn’t even know it…well both really, that he is gone, and that it is his Birthday…

Hello again, Jackie,
I know exactly what you mean, my mobility or lack of it, stopped me from going out, then I was diagnosed with porphyria, which has caused me to be allergic to solar/and sunlight. So that was that, I haven’t been out since I came home from hospital, 3 weeks ago. Thank God for computers, TVs and books, friends and family, our daughter kept pestering me to sell up and go and live near them. I just can’t do it, it would be like leaving Stan behind, also i have really good doctors, consultants (haematology) and lots of friends.
It isn’t so easy at my time of life, I shudder to think about it. x

Dear Jackie, your Richard will know. x
