Dearest Guido,

It was important to hear from you again after such a long time but in such sad circumstances, that is sad!
I too, have had a lot of death to cope with over the past 14 months.

My longest friend Carmen died last May, aged 55/56. I have not recovered from it yet, but then my uncle died two weeks later, when he was apparently fine!
Then my friend at the allotments died after catching a virus that has become common here in our hospitals (MRSA).
My friend's lovely mum then died and now another friend's lovely mum died a week ago.
I didn't know of Shadow (as far as I know) but I am thinking of you and it was a lovely picture of your friend you sent. Thank you.
