I sit here, in my spare room, in front of the computer, trying to think of words suitable for this occasion.

Like a sad bereavement, there are none.

We have been to yet another sad funeral this weekend of a very young adult, the fourth of my sons' friends to die in unfortunate circumstances. Taken too soon, before their time, snatched away from us.

Island Blogging has been a good friend - always there, always supportive, always able to listen and share a cup of tea or coffee. Always there when I was lonely, when I was down, and when I was feeling the world was against me. Island blogging gave me my escape, gave me something to look forward to when I felt no one else was there, and like a good friend comforted me and entertained, educated and informed me of a world I knew nothing about. I may never visit the Western isles, or Islay, or Jura, but I feel I know lots more about them and I feel familiar wih them. I know that if I ever visit Dell I will make a stop at the Fank for sure.

I have made e-mail contact with folk I would never have met otherwise, and I have discovered stuff about my friends I never knew!

I feel quite shaken that the words '主播大秀 Scotland Island Blogging' will not be in my list of favorites to click on every night, it feels quite like a bereavement to think its gone for ever.

I feel really sad!
