So darling. So wonderful. A lifetime of love, shared. I went a lil bit beyond and thought you might already realize how gorgeous his drawing truly is and I compare it well to

Edvard Munch.

Memories to cherish and to linger over the devastation- putting pen to paper to heal or to use art materials as you also suggested… good to see your Dad and check his face for smiles and to share your festivities with family. For Xmas I had 4 women who were alone- one from Ukraine who had come to collect money for bandages for soldiers in Kiev, one teen who had come to learn English with me, one friend who had never married or had children, one who wanted to get away from a stressed family. Justin rolled up from the police station having administer his skills to those in need of a Solicitor. We had fun singing karaoke- a song i wouldnt normally like- they enjoyed themselves. I didn't see anyone else except the onlookers in the congregation.

I am sending you my love and hope for you both xxx

Yes considering I was with a bunch of folk I didn’t know we had a great time getting to know each other- my fears I would be fed up were u founded. Hurrah- pleasure was to be had . I thought it might be heavyhearing about the war in Ukraine and all the devastation. But it wasn’t - Hannah could let her hair down despite the awful circumstances out in Ukraine. She had come over to collect money for bandages .

I also enjoyed singing karaoke.it was sweeet to see my student singing and smiling. You might like to hosts foreign language students it’s interesting work and you might like,to learn about their lives and Cou ntries?

Hope,you can find solace it is so hard for you - when you come here you might like to do some painting or clay work?

Sending my love

See you soon I hope dear Jess
