blog my intention was to share with you my love of afternoon tea poetry and all things pink sweet rosy and lovely i never intended to write about my personal life be it sorrow or joy as months passed and my blog took form something unexpected and magical happened global friendships truth be told i never thought it would be possible to form such genuine friendship with virtual strangers miles and miles away however it did happen and in abundance at that as time passed i found myself sharing with you my lovely friends the joys and sorrows of my everyday life in addition i rejoiced saddened and prayed for events happening in your lives based on the above when this latest calamity happened my first reaction was to run to my laptop prepare a post and ask you my friends for your prayers however i quickly stopped myself not wanting to bring about grey clouds to your day tonight sitting down at my laptop exhausted and sleep deprived appreciatively looking at all the unreciprocated visits you have made to my cottage the 300 plus unanswered sweet and thoughtful comments and emails that are sitting in my inbox waiting for a reply and all of the lovely new faces on my follower gadget who recently joined my blog and are waiting to be welcomed made me realise i better share my heartbreaking news with you you see my darlings i don t want you to think that i have been ignoring you no no no far from it it s your visits and comments that have given me joy and have been my lifeline during this difficult time i do have every intention in responding to each and every one but realise i fall short of the mark day after day so i question myself how could i simultaneously balance my blogging duties and be a comfort to those who need me at the moment my darlings my best friend whom i ve lovingly nicknamed lady r was recently diagnosed with cancer lady r and i met 32 years ago and have been inseparable ever since together we have faced life s challenges growing up school dating marriages children divorce losing loved ones we have stood hand in hand and side by side through good and bad happy and sad up and down thin and thick good health and now illness lady r has been such a huge part of my life i just can t imagine life without her upon learning of this devastating news i have spent every possible moment with her and have unremittingly prayed for her recovery i feel totally helpless the only offering i have is my time and comforting words which she her husband and her children so desperately need therefore i have decided to devote all my spare time to them for now and place my blogging duties on hold for a short time my darlings given that i have a number of posts ready to be put up i will periodically release a post however i am afraid my visits to your lovely blogs will sadly be sparse for a short time do forgive me my lovelies i thank you from the bottom of my heart for the solicitous comments and emails you have posted for me during my absence i am truly blessed to have you all in my life my sweets 113 rosy comments one of the most tragic things i know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living we are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our own windows today dale carnegie in the past week once again i have realised how capricious and how precious life truly is my darlings don t take a moment of your lives for granted live your lives to the fullest and just know that with every passing moment you are given yet another chance to turn it all around with no excuses and no regrets 93 rosy comments a cup of tea to say thank you for all the things you ve done and wishes that the day will bring you happiness and fun my lovely friend bernideen has bestowed upon me the blogger friendship award her blog is loaded with beautifully presented afternoon tea related posts and lovely photos do take a moment to pop in for a cup of tea and a bite to eat bernideen s tea time blog my darlings life has suddenly placed too many crème scones on my royal albert plate i am a little encumbered by my impending trip and by life s this and that i m doing the best i can and promise you all that i will stop by to take tea with you soon and remember my lovelies when it is dark enough you can see the stars ralph waldo emerson 109 rosy comments always remember to forget the things that made you sad but never forget to remember the things that made you glad always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue but never forget to remember those that have
