Time for grieving

As I hinted yesterday, this has been a hard period for me and my boyfriend and there is some additional hardness in store for us. His father died last night after a fight with cancer so this is going to be a time for grieving for all of us.

Joža wasn't my father but I knew him for 8 long years and my boyfriend's family has become an additional family to me.

He was one of the nicest people I know - forgiving of everyone, with a kind word for everyone, a silent pillar of strength with a lot of knowledge (some of which included making great wine and spirits).

We will miss you!

  3. Oh sweet girl , my thoughts go out to you and your boyfriend .
    No one wants those they love to pass , but if he was suffering , even now I believe he is at peace and watching over you .
    The perfumes you wear now float away for him to smell on high...
    may you find peace and comfort from those around you !

  15. So sorry to hear about your loss.... my boyfriend experienced something similar a while ago, and I understand your feeling of helplessness, though probably your support means the world to him.

    Hugs,
    Ivana
