I just wanted to put a post on Vic's blog to thank all of those who supported Vic's golf day this week. I spoke to Jim who said he still looks at this blog every now and again and it made me think I should just write a few words.
It was a lovely sunny day (so rare at this time of the year)! A true Vic day as me and my family are begining to call them. There were 100 golfers and loads of extra support too. I didn't have to do a thing to help organise it was all done so well by Bob and Jo at Bradnams. Jo though of everything even down to the name tags for all the helpers.
Unfortunately no-one won a hole in one prize, which were all amazing prizes, but due to all the generous gifts of bottles, golf parafanalia and even a voucher for figleaves.com nearly everyone went home with something. There was a huge raffle and a prize giving at the end. The total up to the evening was in the region of £11,000 which is just so overwhelming.
Vic never would have believed he could have been in the centre of something that raised so much money to help others but he would have been so happy that he helped in some way. I can't thank eveyone enough for any part they played that day.
Personally life is still very hard but I try to keep positive. Not a moment in a day goes by when I don't think about him, I miss him all the time and I know I'm not alone in that. It's just so hard when the person who you loved and who loved you in return as much as we did goes it leaves a huge hole. Sadly though life has to go on, you can't stop it and Vic would never have wanted people to be sad he was far too loving and generous for that and he hated tears. However, that was easy for him to say!
Anyway, thanks again to all of you, especially Bob, Jo and all at Bradnams.
