Hi @Eve7 and thank you. ♥

Yes today is the day, (or tonight anyway)  and its been hard. As has the past several nights. I havent been sleeping,  so I'm very tired.

Isnt it ridiculous how 28 years after 'the event' (irrespective of how traumatic and utterly unbelievable it was at the time) it can still seem so fresh in your mind.  Like it was yesterday. You see it,  your body feels it, all of your senses are heightened around everything to do with it. 29th Feb,  and it was a Thurs that year too, just like it is this year. 

I have had so much trauma therapy over the years to help with it all. And it has helped.  I hate to think where I'd be now without having had that. Fact is,  I'm really pretty good now,  compared to where I have been in previous years. I'm grateful. 

I'm also grateful to have my little dog Hannah now. She doesnt understand,  but when I wake in the night in a panic,  she licks my face,  nuzzles me. She calms me down. She makes me laugh.  My energetic highly excitable little puppy keeps me calm in the dead of night. Who would have thought?  😊♥

Sorry @Eve7  I got sidetracked. My head ran away with me. Yes please,  a cuppa with you this evening would be great. I would really appreciate the company. 

I notice I have had a surprise visit from the lovely @Clawde 🌹.  Its been a while my friend. How are you? 

Hi also to @Bow @outlander @NatureLover @Shaz51 😊

And the delightful @tonys who said I could tag him anytime. Am I stretching you too thinly by dragging you to my thread? Please feel free to ignore if its too much. I wont be offended ♥

I posted this pic of my little Hannah on a social thread the other day. But for those of you who hasnt seen it yet, this is a recent pic of Hannah. She is now 16 weeks old. 💖
