Thank you for all the lovely messages - here and elsewhere. They really do help and I am so glad to have your support - along with our wonderful family. The clan mustered from America, Australia and France and the rest of our extended family from the UK.
I shall be burbling on for some time.
We had this song played at the end of a beautiful ceremony. It was the same song and singer but a more haunting sound with pipes.
This was so very touching, Pat. It must have been perfect with the bag Pipes, too... I think of you many times during each day, and I am so glad that your dear loving family and extended family are around you---all of you giving loving support to one another....Sending you my loving support from across the pond, my dear...And some Big Hugs, too! I know these are hard times, dear Pat, and hugs always help. ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))
I'm planning a trip to Scotland this summer - I'll stop on the banks of Loch Lomond and think of you and Al. I think of you every day at the moment, my dear. xxxx

dear pat - like with all the others here, you and YTL remain in my thoughts every day - i have always loved hearing the stories of your enduring love and life together and look forward to those to come - in the meantime, it's tea and biscuits and basking in the caring of your "extended" family here - with much affection - jenean
ps - loch lomand was the first song of scotland i learned as a child -
Gypsy: thank you for your kind words. I still feel cherished. Loch Lomond is a beautiful song. we had a picnic there on our last trip to Scotland. I mustlook up my old camcorder.
