So much sorrow

Early this week, our friends came over to see the garden and the new mowing machinery as they are thinking of getting something similar. That evening they received a message saying goodbye from their son. They learned later that he had jumped off a cliff. His body was recovered the next day by the subaqua police. They are gutted. His cremation service was yesterday. We did not go. 

Yesterday, I learned that a friend from my last job who I had stayed in touch with over the years had died of cancer aged 60. We are now at the age when we lose friends and family regularly. 

4.36 M have died of confirmed coronavirus infection but the real figure must be many times that. So many sad people have lost so much more.
