In a few minutes I’ll start to pack for our trip to Paris. It isn’t going to be our usual kind of visit. There is no jumping up and down in excitement. There will be no planning on what sights we will be seeing or which restaurants we will be dining at.
We will not be driving randomly around Paris at strange hours of the late nights into early mornings.
It will be a different kind of trip. We will be giving our farewells to Bonaparte’s aunt, Danièle.
Before I start to stuff more than what I probably need into my carry-on, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you to all my blogger friends and friends who read the blog for your condolences and kind and loving thoughts. This little community we have is a true family and I so much appreciate all your words. Bonaparte is also very touched.
I will leave and I will report back in a few days of our celebration of life!
Hugs, kisses and many, many thanks! XOXOXO!
This will be a sad time for you both, but you will get through this. I feel sad for you both , because of your blog, I feel that I know you.
My heart, thoughts and prayers are with your family. Hugs all around to you. Xoxo
You wrote such a loving tribute to Danièle. Yes, you will be there to celebrate her life. That is good. We will wait to hear from you.
Safe trip to you and Bonaparte. Thoughts and prayers sent your way!
She sounds like such a wonderful character! May your happy memories help you and Bonaparte through this difficult time.
Safe travel. And may you sense Daniele’s spirit all around you to give you comfort. {{{Catherine}}}
Mes pensées sont à vous
Fly safe and don’t forget to cover, weather’s pretty mean around here. My thoughts are with you both. Tell B. his auntie shall always be remembered as a wonderful actress and a bright free spirit. I’m sure she’s not done with her dears yet and you’ll feel her warmth and typical perfume floating in the air. Hugs.
What a beautiful woman and loving tribute to her. You are fortunate to have met her. You have her in your heart. Condolences to you and Bonaparte. Safe travels.
