We do not wish to mourn, rather to celebrate this lovely, gentle, polite, creative and always caring man. Even at the very end of his life, he was ever polite and unwilling to demand care.. *
So, please consider one or many of these things to hold his memory in your heart
Raise a glass, preferable wine or cider, as it was a long time since he could drink beer. Or a beer, in honour of that sacrifice. At the very least, a cup of tea.
Make something
Mend something
Teach something
Put your tools in order
Hold someone. No-one could hug like John, and it was a huge hug that sank me when I fell for him all those years ago…
Feed someone, and wash up afterwards
Be kind to someone who needs it
Tell those you love that you love them, for one day it may be too late…
Bless you for reading
*I don’t think being washed by a legion of pretty nurses was too unpleasant for him…
