It was five years ago yesterday.

This morning Facebook reminded me of a post I made 27/01/12.

It was me expressing just how stunned I was at the support and also the generousity of the Fetch community - who just 14 hours after I had annouced earlier that day that I would be running VLM in memory of my wife - had surpassed the minimum sponsorship I needed. And it didn't stop there. The final total ended up being nearly 50% of all the total monies I have raised in all of my 5 VLM's combined.

I'm still stunned and impressed by the Fetch community, enough though currently I don't run and am a much more infrequent visitor either here or at races.

You guys are amazing.

Another anniversary. And yet another year when (without alarm clock) I am await at 6am.

Which - 7 years ago - was the time I rang the hospital and was told she had passed just moments beforehand.
