A Sad Day

I had a better sleep last night and so did Andrew so I'm feeling more refreshed today. It's lovely to wake up and turn on the computer and someone has left you a message saying they care (thank you Angela).

One of my blogging friends has left messages everyday for the past few months, she's been a little ray of sunshine :O) It's one of those moments when you can't believe the power of the internet, a lady half way round the world has become a dear friend, caring about me, encouraging me and having a laugh with me. Then, after a week of no messages at all I learned she has passed away. My friend Vicky is now an angel in heaven. I know she is because she was an angel here on earth. She had just turned 50 and was a nurse in a large teaching institution somewhere in Ohio. She worked in the medical intensive care unit ... see, told you she was an angel :O) Her Mum & Dad & friends & family must be devastated and my heart goes out to them. I never met Vicky, but I feel like I've known her forever, I'll miss you sweetie, a lot X

Been out in the garden as today's word over at HS:MS was plant. I didn't use this photo of a sunflower in the end so thought I would post it here :O) These are the last 2 plums of the season :O( A beautiful pink Dahlia and ... one of my favourite flowers, Nigella or Love in a Mist :O)

I'm so, so sorry Vanda, that's very sad for you and her family.

I know Vanda, I saw the post from her friend. I'm so sorry, you are such a sweet person I knew you would be feeling sad. It's amazing how we can make friends from all over the world with the internet. It doesn't matter that you never met her, a friend is a friend. I hope her family know that she had such a dear blogging friend who will miss her too.

I also meant to say before, your photos are beautiful. In the short time that I have 'known' you, your photography has changed such a lot. You are producing some stunning photos Vanda. I hope you are rightly proud of them :-)
