Welcome to my post for Mel's 'Alphanumeric Blog Hop'..........I was originally going to withdraw from this hop.......and this is a short post..........and not cute and cuddly..........and probably not really appropriate for a blog hop.........but the number Mel had unwittingly given me really 'spoke' to me this week...............so I hope you will bear with me........but please feel free to skip this post entirely and continue on your journey to Scrapworthy Lives.
The 4 of us met 30 years ago.........when we were all very young......D + G moved from the North East to the South coast......when D started his job at the company OH worked for.
The 4 of us quickly became close friends......and have been the closest of friends ever since.
The 4 of us have shared together the thrills and spills of life.........the laughs and the tears......the highs and the lows........and had a great deal of fun along the way.
The 4 of us have always been there for each other.......supporting each other through life's journey.
The 4 of us still had many plans and dreams for the future together........including a holiday already booked for later this year.
But now there is just unutterable sadness.........and the knowledge that life will never be the same again.........because last weekend our friend D passed away........suddenly and unexpectedly......gone in the blink of an eye.
Rest in peace, dear friend.........you will be forever in our hearts.

Jacky that must have been so hard to write and so hard to do a layout,but for sure it was the right thing to do as you will look back and it will be a lovely memory to keep. Sending you lots of love at this awfully sad time x x x
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your friend was obviously special to you both. It's good that you have wonderful memories of the lovely times you all shared together. I'm sure your friend's wife will find it comforting to have her good friends near, to share her grief and give her comfort. I wasn't around for the blog hop, but I'll remember you in my prayers now.
