Some of you will know that a close friend died last week very suddenly. A huge shock to us all.
I didn't see his wife until yesterday as her family were there constantly and made it clear they wanted no callers or messages.
She rang me on Sunday evening but was very matter of fact just about arrangements etc.
Yesterday a deliveryman left
flowers with me as she wasn't answering the door.
I sent her a text and took them across. The house is full of flowers and cards. She still didn't touch on the fact of P's death.
Now comes my problem, I really want to say how I feel but as I have an eye problem my hand/eye coordination is poor and I can't write for long without my writing being awful
I have given in and sent an e-mail, unthinkable in previous times and now I think I may have done the wrong thing.
My friend is old fashioned in many ways.
Have I really boobed and done the wrong thing?
What made you fall in love with your OH?
Good Morning Friday 7th August 2026
