Saying goodbye to my neighbour, Jeremy, today.
Jeremy was a kind and encouraging presence in my life here in North Ayrshire. We would often meet while I was working in the garden or around the building, and he always had a kind word, a little encouragement, and usually, “God bless” and “I’ll pray for you.”
Today I learned that when Jeremy said he would pray for someone, he really did — he kept a journal of the people he was praying for.
I also learned more about the many sides of his life: he was a pianist, a writer, a man of deep faith and a much-loved friend to many people.
I made these flowers for him as my small goodbye.
Rest in peace, Jeremy. You will be missed. 🦋
