Today is the next step in the process, saying the public goodbye to my husband, John. I am peaceful at the moment. I will be with my boys and my friends and family. We will laugh (I hope!) and we will undoubtedly cry. But it will be good.

Thank yous go to all lizards who prayed for him and for us. Your prayers were not in vain. His new life is pain-free and peaceful, and that’s what is important to me. We’ll see him again, in God’s good time.
