My dear DU friends,

[annabanana]

I haven't been very active on the forum for awhile, because Mr. Banana (My dear George) has been ill.

He passed away early this morning, peacefully and pain free, for which I will be eternally grateful.

This place has always been a place where I could share things, a place that always has had a kind word.. and I could use a cyberhug.

[elleng]

1. MANY cyberhugs for you, annabanana,

and, as you know, we are with you.

[suninvited]

2. So sorry for your loss, Annabanana

The fact that your dear husband passed on peacefully and without pain is something we all hope for our loved ones. That you were able to show your love and care for him is also something I hope you can hold on to in your time of grief. It is always the hardest thing, saying adieu for now, but I am sure that he would want more than anything for you to take care of yourself, to rest and to heal. I wish you the very best and if you ever need to just talk about anything, I'm sure we'd all love to listen.
