Sad Days.

The last few nights without Colleen have been strange for Jayne and I.  It's been hard knowing that life has been carring on for us whilst Colleen has had to deal with the trauma of a sudden illness and then the death of her husband on Sunday morning.  Another friend though croquet from Palmerston North is also experiencing the trauma of an imminent death.  I feel so deeply for the two of them because I can imagine exactly what they are going through.

It has brought home to me just how much New Zealand is a home to me.  When one knows people well enough to attend funerals one is at home.
