Good afternoon dear Blogger friends. Once again, I have been absent since 28th September 2023 due to work pressures and social commitments. But hey - ho. Here I am again...
Re Diane's comment on my Blog about a mutual friend's passing; this wasn't out of context. Lynda, who lived in Tanzania, and whom I met on her interesting blog, ultimately encouraged me to start blogging. Am I grateful to her!
It was also through her blog that I met and connected with many bloggers: Diane, (my life in Charente); Penny, Lori, Skoog farm journal.
Her blog and our private emails between her in East Africa and me (I lived in West Africa those days), provided a good basis when Grant and I eventually lived in Tanzania.
In 2009, Grant and I met Lynda and her parents in the Eastern Cape and spent a great morning together. Sadly, her mum passed away suddenly a year later. Her dad, who was battling cancer at the time, passed in 2012.
Reading about Lynda's death was a great shock all.
REST IN PEACE, DEAR FRIEND
Wow. So sorry to read that she passed. I had not communicated with her for years.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, RIP Lynda!
ReplyDeleteit is always a shock to lose a friend, my best friend since we were 15 passed last month and even though we lived 400 miles apart, i miss her at times almost everyday
ReplyDeleteOur blog friends become very dear to us don't they? RIP Lynda.
ReplyDeleteI remember Lynda. She had a wonderful blog and she's gone far too soon. May her children be comforted.
