The Gaps

Thank you all for coming to the burial yesterday. It meant a lot to all of us.

Some of you have asked me to post the poem I read out loud. So here it is:

THE GAPS
(by Mike Mindel)

Those gaps between my thoughts,
Are full of you.
Idle chat today,
My eyes flick away,
Resting on a nothing,
That was because of you.

You fill the moments when the world isn’t there.
You slow dance in my soul,
And I feel blessed with your current.

Let’s not waste the gaps,
With words overheard,
Ill thoughts that are stirred,
With events absurd.

Come close in-between my love.
You see.
Even these words just seem to fill the space
Where you should be.

Mourning the sad loss of Maggy (aka Kimberley)

Sadly, on Tuesday 5th June 2007, Maggy (aka Kimberley) took her own life. Her illness became too much for her to bear.

She will be lovingly remembered for her beauty and kindness. Maggy touched everyone around her.

Arrangements for the funeral:

We’re still waiting for the coroner to let us know when Maggy will be released. We’ll then post details of where the funeral will be held. As of Thursday night it looks like either late Friday 7th or Saturday 8th.

Please check back for updates.

Mike (Husband)
