Good to see that Daddy's still got the attention-grabbing headlines :-)
Well, what's been going on in the first year since Tye passed away? Let's see - Mummy and Daddy's relationship went through a rocky phase, but we've managed to stay strong and keep together. If anything, we've become stronger because of it.
We've become board members of various groups and committees within Castle Vale where we live.
Daddy hurt his left arm/shoulder in January this year, so he's been walking around wearing a sling to rest his arm when he's not driving around, and this has meant that not much DIY or gardening has been done this year.
Last year also saw other bereavement in the family, so it was particularly sad at times, but there were also several times of fun and frivolity too.
We visited relatives in Scotland this year, we've just received a huge Peugeot Boxer van converted into a wheelchair accessible vehicle for Mummy to get out and about in, and we are pending building work to create a bedroom and en-suite downstairs (which will involve lots of builders knocking down walls).
Back to Tye, the memories of him are as strong as ever. Sometimes is feels as if that stage of our lives was just yesterday, other times it feels like it was an eternity ago, and we still miss him like crazy. We've had lots of support from friends, and people who knew Tye during his short life.
We've still got all his baby equipment, toys, clothes, etc, etc, and lots of 'memories' from his life, and we will be creating a 'memories box' full of those at some point in the future.
Well, shame the weather isn't better, but that's a small detail.
