And I really don't want it to be seen as a sad post, because my predominant feeling tonight is not one of sadness.
Today would have been Trevor's 72nd birthday. We always used to get together as a family to celebrate his birthday and I had intended to send text messages to his three children first thing today to say how much I would miss this today and to send them my love. However they all got there before me and we agreed to raise a glass to him tonight even though it's only Thursday.
I had a really good walk on the moor today with Joy, meeting up with Fiona and her little gang. Other friends have sent love and messages and I've really kind of been fairly OK. I've been thinking about the lovely eighteen years we had together. Some people never have that and we did. That's the important thing. This grieving process is a strange up and down thing, I suspect I'm not out of the woods yet, and wonder if I ever will be truly, but today has felt like a little oasis of hope, sooner than I expected particularly given the current situation. Friends and family, including all of you have no doubt contributed towards this, so thankyou. Most important of all though is my GGJ. :heart:

Also I keep remembering what one of his ex colleagues who spoke at his funeral said, which was that when Trevor was Leading Fireman on a shout and it looked a bit alarming, he'd say 'We've got a job to do. Let's go and do it!' I know now he's saying 'You've got a life to live. Go and live it!' There's absolutely no doubt that he'd be saying that, so I suppose I'd better get on with it. :heart: :heart: :heart:
