  2. I cannot say much, but I will ...
    I knew it was on the cards but was gutted beyond tears all the same.
    We did so many walks together.
    I put up with his complaints (that I didn't do as I was told).
    He named me *Mad 'n Bad* FFS, what was he expecting.
    Lovely to see the last TGOC journey and yet 😭😭😭
    So glad a walked the phone dropping walk to Ballater, and the Park Meal.
    So many good memories.
    Forever in my heart big fella.
    Forever missed!
    I felt another sad tear writing this again.
