For Dee

Today I am remembering Dee, my dear mother in law who passed away one year ago.

It's hard to believe a year has passed, and I so miss seeing her smiling face. Here she is with my mom, the night before we got married back in 2006. I will always her like this: happy, smiling, with a nice glass of white wine in hand!

It's sad to remember her but also happy to remember the time we had with her. I hope she is resting in peace, having some wine, somewhere with my Pa. 

A Weekend for Dee

This weekend we went over to the island to honour a special woman, Deirdre King.

About a month before losing my Pa, my husband lost his mother, Dee. She had some healthy issues and, although we thought she was on the mend, they got the better of her. She died peacefully in her sleep on April 6, 2016.

It has been a rough year indeed. We finally got the chance to get together, just the immediate family. We went for a lovely dinner at the Mashead Restaurant in Mill Bay.

Then came back to the house to have some dessert, play some tunes, and toast Dee.

It was a simple memorial, very tasteful and full of love. Dee would have loved it. We miss you, Dee. Rest in peace.
