Remembering Jo

A year ago tomorrow my lovely friend Jo died from a brain haemorhage, it was very sudden in her sleep. She left behind two beautiful girls who are a credit to her and of whom she must be very proud from wherever she is. The day after the first anniversary of her death would have been her 50th birthday.

Jo I want you to know that I miss you every day and I am trying as hard as I can to make the most of life and opportunities and to be strong. I will always be there for your two girls, they are both truly amazing and I feel privileged that they call me Auntie. Tomorrow I will lie some flowers on your grave and on your birthday I will make a cake in your honour as I remember how much you loved cake. Jo you memory lives on and I truly believe that often you give me the strength to get through.

Sorry this was a bit garbled, hope nobody minds.

That was a really beautiful post octopus. As I read I could feel your sense of loss but also what a great woman Jo must have been to mean so much to you. Flowers
