An excellent posting, Jane. What we've lost, what we still have and, the most surprising part of it all, what we have gained. All are at the forefront of my thoughts on a daily basis as I fast approach my silver jubilee.
What an anniversary - an object lesson in dealing with a surly and unremittingly grim 'family' member ! Yet, your response also shows how this experience has had a positive side in meeting the challenge of that unwelcome cohabitation. The eloquence of such a characterisation is testament to the strength of your newly found position in life against that limpet's presence. More literary prizes ahead ?
Were these the earrings l noticed today? Another brilliant analogy; excellently written showing all the shade and more recently the light of the last 5 years. Thank you for sharing and well done for purchasing an anniversary gift!
Thank you for being there for me too despite everything you've had to deal with. Also, l don't think l said this morning, but you looked radiant - so lovely to see!

Appreciate your thoughts Andy. I think you’re right about the gains being the most surprising.
A medal for you for endurance as you approach your silver jubilee?🏅

Thanks Bernard. I don’t know about literary prizes, but I’ll give myself an award for keeping on showing up!
