A Quiet Selfie

This is not a long post because I lost a good and sweet friend last week and this has upset me greatly.

Alan (@RustyNail1976 on Twitter), partner to Shawnee, Twitter friend and cat dad to their fur family passed away suddenly aged only 43. I know Shawnie and Alan from Twitter and her struggles to find a safe haven for herself and the family have been long.

Shawnie is using her sweetheart’s Twitter account so please drop by if you are on Twitter.

I don’t have the heart for a cheery post, and have not been online as I focus on trying to support a friend who lost the light of her life.

Harvey and I want you to love your family and treasure your friends.

    Harvey looks quite contemplative and thoughtful.

    Sorry you lost a good friend; a sudden loss is extremely upsetting and difficult.

    We do not do twitter, so if you would, could you add my condolences and comforting hugs.
