2nd anniversary

As posted on FaceBook.

It is hard to believe it is two years since our Ray died. I did admire his adventurous spirit, from having elephants walk over him, to kite flying behind a boat strapped to a Thai man, to zip lining in Canada and South Africa, and riding an ostrich in the latter country.
Everyone misses you Ray. Here he is holding an ostrich chick. He loved our South African holiday so much.

  8. It's a confusing day, I expect, between good memories of his daring exploits and the sadness of missing him. You're doing so well though, balancing them.

  9. Your loss never fades but life, during the day at least, becomes more manageable.
    I have a photo of my beautiful late son on the fridge door and see him every time I need a fruit or Diet Coke.
