Nearly but not quite...

A big THANK YOU to everyone that commented on the last post.I will be getting in touch personally soon.It really means a lot to me...

I was wondering about what to write about next and then in just fell into my lap.To cut a long story short,I was in the UK for 3 months this summer with Annie and we took a lot of video film footage.Or so we thought...we arrived back in Japan to discover that the video camera was broken and that seemingly,all of the footage I took during that 3 montrhs,had gone.Very upsetting it was too.

But tonight,I found a 90 minute tape that actually works.I am SO happy...I have some wonderful memories on tape now with friends and relatives.

Priceless:-)

9 months later...

And with a title like that,I'd better re-phrase!!It is just about 9 months since I posted and at long last I feel ready to blog again.I missed it, and I missed everyone who read it and commented on it.

So,9 months...what a roller coaster they have been and not something I ever want to go through again.For those of you who don't know(and I did keep it rather quiet),my Dad was diagnosed with secondary lung cancer in February.He died,at home,on May 29th at 8.15 in the morning.All the family were there.

I cannot describe how devastating it is/was to lose him.We were so very close and once in a while it actually scared me that we were so close simply because I knew that I would lose him one day.

And that brings us to now.Lots of pain is left,lots of tears to shed(and boy,have I cried!) but also lots of wonderful memories.I think I like the latterthe best;-)
