Well Done to you all. <br /><br />Amazing Grace was totally amazing..<br /><br />This coming year is going to be a 'toughie' thats for sure, but you will still hear Davy encouraging you and leading the way, i'm sure you will amaze yourself and become a much stronger person than you realise what you already are. <br /><br />Davy will always be remembered by the 'crazy fun bits' and the way he was very 'random', he will always be remembered just for being 'Davy'.<br /><br />Just one last thing before i go..."when did Morgan grow up"??? He was great.<br /><br />Take care Ann, sending lots of love from Shelly xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185955142944545750.post-11322654618133491162010-01-19T13:40:55.467+00:002010-01-19T13:40:55.467+00:00Oh, definitely don't forget the crazy fun bits...Oh, definitely don't forget the crazy fun bits! <br /><br />It's obvious from the way you write that his leaving does leave a void, but that there are plenty of people to pick up and carry that torch.

But then she seemed to gather strength all at once and she became that indomitable woman again - except even more so. Nothing was going to beat her - nothing that she could control anyway. <br /><br />Sure she had days when she would cry and nights when I could hear her crying - but she put in about the same amount of years as you did with OG and that empty side of the bed is hard to come to terms with. <br /><br />One thing she did say quite loudly was that she would never remarry. She was tired of having to look after a man - and she grew from there.<br /><br />You will too Ann. It just takes time and acceptance. I hate that phrase - Time will heal - I think it is more like - in time we will become adjusted to it......<br /><br />OG sounds like he was quite the man. It is obvious that you are quite proud of him and his way of looking at life. You are so lucky to have shared so much with him. I for one would love to learn more about him in the time to come.aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185955142944545750.post-43444161778824225612010-01-18T17:26:16.819+00:002010-01-18T17:26:16.819+00:00I imagine this first year will be a year of challe...I imagine this first year will be a year of challenge Ann but with your wonderful memories of OG, your own indomitable spirit and the love of your family and friends you will cope.
