As some of you know this past week has been awful for my family, and so when I can I am trying to grab those moments of beauty that are always around us. A bird singing, a flower opening, a bee buzzing, a kind word, a child giggling or as I saw a few minutes ago a sunrise.

The reason it has been so awful is that my lovely husband died suddenly and unexpectedly.

MrB was (and will always be in our hearts and memories) a fabulous dad, a loving grandfather, a great brother, uncle and son in law, a wonderful and kind friend and of course book person extraordinaire. He was truly amazing, and so kind and gentle. He also had a passion for bad puns!

Everyone who ever met him is going miss him.

  1. It’s now a month and I only read this now. I’m so sorry, Becky. I hope that you kind find solace in your family and also your memories and from the little I know you’ve made lots of beautiful ones with him. In time, you will make new ones, I’m sure and you will share them with him, albeit differently than before. Sending love and hugs.

  2. I’m sorry to read this, Becky. Can’t imagine how you and your family feel. I came here from reading the next post describing what a wonderful, interesting man he was. I didn’t know him but knowing you and how you felt about him, I know he was a wonderful man who will be terribly missed and who leaves a big hole in many lives. Sending you all the best.

  3. Oh Becky I just returned from a vacation in France and London and I just read this post. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling. My thoughts are with you. Surround yourself with love from your family and friends and the beauty that you see from your window. Hugs…..Carol

  4. Beautiful, bright Becky B, your news saddens all of us who know you. I loved Carol’s statement “wrapping you with love in our thoughts and prayers today.”That’s what I’ll be doing in my prayers every time you come into my thoughts.
