lst Anniversary plans

It is still a few months away but today I have been booking flights to go to Scotland for Wilf's 1st anniversary.  Two sets of close friends have asked to go with me and it makes me so proud that they think so much of Wilf that they are ready to travel with me.  I know they are also doing it for me and that makes me happy too, although of course it makes me sad that it is necessary at all.
I had another close friend rang from the UK last night to ask me to go over for Christmas.  They know that is a particularly hard time for me - we always made such a lot of Christmas with decorations and celebrations.
I am travelling to Manchester next week to visit with several friends.  It will be great to see them especially by BFF of over 40 years who is  always there when I need her.  Can be spooky - there are times it is like she can read my mind and knows when I need her including flying out without me knowing when Wilf was so ill and was with me when he died. She is the best.
