Another Valentine's Day without Les. I have found it hard this year to be shopping and finding that all the shops and supermarkets are full of Valentine gifts and cards - reminders everywhere of the joys of having a loving partner. I certainly had that in abundance and so the hole left is a huge one. I am getting on with life and truly value my very good friends. I laugh much more and cry much less, but there are still times when the pain of losing Les, and missing him, are as acute as ever.
