"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." - Albert Schweitzer

 
My dear Suzanne

Trust you could get me to write on my "Blog Closed" !!

This last week has been an absolute whirlwind, like a freight train coming at me and so many I love leaving a wake of devastation and I am totally powerless to stop it.

You were never one to give all the answers, instead you challenged me to seek my own, you offered a different level of understanding to a situation. You never judged! You were always there, checking in everyday if I wasn't well or feeling glum, offering tea and coffee or a wine, with some special Suzanne home baking, and you always had you hummus for me. Now I need you, I need the crazy arrival through the excited dogs, I need to sit at the kitchen counter with Suzanne tea and I need to talk while you challenge me to seek clarity on how this all happened ... and how it snowballed so quickly!

I miss you so much already, and while I know you don't like people moping around about you, but this is our process and you would understand that. You have touched my life in the most beautiful way, in a short time we developed a bond of steel, shared so much, laughed, cried and danced.

I have made you promises and I will try my best to live by those, hold dear and show you the value of what you have helped me learn.

You were so many things, strong, caring, loving, beautiful, ... the list is endless ... but more than anything you were my friend, a true friend! I AM GRATEFUL FOR HAVING YOU AS MY FRIEND if only for a while, you will forever remain my friend in my heart ♥
(you were one of the my biggest fans of "I am grateful for" so this seemed most fitting)

I promised you I would look after Zoe, I will take care of her ... I will!

Zoe: You have your Mum's heart of gold, which is why our bond is so unique and so special, I will stand by you. You are truly an amazing soul, you have the most beautiful talent, not only in music but within your spirit. Never loose your Zoe'ness!!! Your Mum has been and always will be your #1 Champion, but I am a close second :-)
You have a world of people with you, and in time everything will be fine, and you will shine!
And Zoe if there is one song of yours that I think is all encompassing of you this would be it


ps: Suzanne you never did get around to showing me how to make hummus!
