It's been just over 4 months since the C word took Harvey from me and the kids and it's been tough to say the least. Everything has changed but stayed the same. I feel his presence all the time but not his touch, his breath or his voice.
It's almost Christmas but I don't feel at all festive. I am going to France to be with our youngest daughter and granddaughter for Christmas and New Year and when I return I will face 2015 without him.
I need to take a serious look at my life and what I want to do with what's left of it. Decisions like this used to be exciting but now they just seem a necessity.
I know I can do this and with the help of my fabulous family and friends my life will be happy again and full of lovely memories. I shall take him with me in whatever I do but in my heart this time.
I feel blessed to have experienced life with a man that never bored me and made sure I always knew how much he loved me. It wasn't all a bed of roses but it was often fabulous.

Brought a tear to my eye, thinking of you and Harvey and happy times in Paris and in England. Sending big hugs and much love your way. xoxox
Every good wish for Christmas and I hope 2015 brings you good things.

Hello Di,
I have visited your blog for the first time today, while doing some research for some egg painting. I found a beautiful image which led me to your website. I read your most recent post and I wanted to tell you that I am very sorry for your loss.

Di, I am so sorry to hear about Harvey. He sounded like a very funny and wonderful man to have shared your life with. I have been a silent reader of your blog for many years now and have always enjoyed your spark, wit and talent for finding the most beautiful objects, furniture and art from around the world. Thinking about you and your family and hoping that 2015 will bring you some happiness xxx
This photography reminds me a scene of "L'oeuvre au noir" of Marguerite Yourcenar. I have the impression to see the surgeon Zenon in his prison....
Dear Di. My life has changed a lot because at 53 I am finally at art school. So I don't look at blogs as much as I used to. And when I do yours is probably my oldest and favourite. I just wanted to say hello and I hope you're doing ok. With love, Jacqueline xx
