Six years since we lost Torin. Not a day goes by when he is not in my thoughts and it doesn’t get any easier with time.
In the morning some lovely flowers arrived from Zoe and her family saying they were thinking of us on Torin’s anniversary. She is such a good friend, bless her.
As usual Mal and I go out somewhere and have a meal to celebrate Torin’s life . We always toast him in Guiness, this is a family tradition. We decided to go to St Mildred’s Bay bistro. It is right next to the sea and dog friendly. It also meant Ellie could have a swim first. We both had the skate, one of my favourites and it was delicious.
There were a lot of dogs in the bistro and I can honestly say Ellie was the best behaved as she just sits by the side of us. Oh, except one other dog and although I love dogs, how ridiculous, this Yorkie was in a high chair!!!!
On our return home I took some flowers round to the grave. The two rose bushes I planted either side of Torin’s grave are still flowering well.
I have to say although I am still taking pain killers, my mouth is not hurting anywhere as much as last time I visited Maxillofacial. I think she was far more careful this time. I know previously she ripped a lot of my gums.
A good game from England in the evening.
