..........to everyone who has supported me over the last year.  I hear people saying they are no longer invited out once widowed, but my friends have been great.  They also say never turn down an invitation or they will stop coming, so I haven't, in most cases.  I also think that Blip has kept me sane, and I am grateful to all ""Blipfriends" for their stars, hearts and supportive comments.  A brilliant "virtual community".
