It's given me extra motivation - sort of dedicating it to her memory. It feels like something I can still do for her, other than take flowers to her grave, obviously.
Wondering if it would help you, to perhaps dedicate it to your friend?
Just a thought
ZoeM, you have an important message. Yes, I may have to dedicate a recovery to this person. He wrote in a book I have: "May we best use our talents..."
I have not forgotten this. It haunts me.
