Darling Jonathan,
How can a year have passed since we watched you slip away? You were so brave, right to the end, never complaining and always staying positive. You have been in our thoughts constantly since - so many things remind us of you and the love and life you brought to us. Throughout the past the year we have remembered all the lovely times we shared, wishing you were still here to have fun with, but today feels particularly hard as we remember losing you so a year ago today. Believing we will see you again one day gives us some hope, but it doesn’t mean we don’t miss you terribly now. Iona and Clemmie talk about you all the time, and watching them grieve and be so aware of the hard reality of losing you when they had just got to know you breaks my heart even more as I want to take away their pain but can’t. Knowing that you are out of pain and that you died peacefully and hopefully is of some comfort. But it will never be enough. We always wish you were here instead. Loving you as much as ever now as before. Thinking of you. Looking forward to seeing you again one day. Lucy xxxxxxx
