Soggibottom cottage. Daft name for a cottage, unless your a happy go lucky guy and know that is the name that suits the place you live.
Tony the soggibottom carpenter, such a happy go lucky guy.
I have
They show my very happy go lucky, tomorrow is another day, beautiful caring, guy at his best.
Skilled, articulate, caring, loving, peaceful. Just a few words.
Over the last few months it has been very hard to keep up two blogs and try to pretend nothing has been different.
It has been a strange time when one of us always tells others who have asked he is fine. Still told me was fine a few seconds before he left soggibottom.
I miss my blog proof reader.
I will dearly miss the brave guy who has never ever complained once when he has been in so much pain over the last few months. My guy. Tony, I hope somewhere you are proof reading this and approve. Short and ultra sweet. I never do short and sweet. This might be a bit longer.

I promise to blog, such silly things, never to be a diva and never not care. Always be myself.
Feed and house the bees, feed the birds. Take mutt out to our usual haunts. Cuddle her lots and hug her more because she misses you already and has gone so very quiet.....
Just like Soggibottom. It is very quiet.........
Thank everyone who has already sent such lovely words and cards.
Thanks again to all those that say. BLOG AGAIN.
Thank you most to someone who has always given me a good perspective on the most important things of life.... Silly stuff is silly stuff and things are just
Thank you for teaching me the most important things, love, laugh and care.
Not to be my usual outspoken self too much :-)
I won't forget. I promise x x x

A beautiful tribute to a lovely man.
My heart breaks for you and wish I could be there for you. Know that I am with you and spirit and always here for you.

Such a beautiful tribute to Tony, our sweet friend..
All those important things you mentioned Tony taught you,,,
I have a feeling if Tony were speaking right now, he would say you "taught each other",,, each holding the other up at certain times.
What a wonderful life and journey you both shared. Footsteps on the sand...and quiet moments..
Both of you would give away all you had to help someone else.,,That is how we will remember Tony,,, and his love for you and sweet Freya.
We are so sorry your heart is hurting right now....
we want to say.,... we love you.
love

To your most handsome, sweet, and funny Proof Reader Tony ~ you will be missed...

I can only imagine that it's hard to see how our partners are so entwined with every breath we take until the day comes when we no longer have them. We are so sorry for your loss. We wish there was something we could say that would comfort you but of course comfort is something that happens sometime in the future. Just know that our hearts hurt for you.

Dear FRIEND,
I was so very sorry to hear of Tony's Passing. This was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful individual.
I wish that I could be there to give you a hug and to share some of the fabulous memories and to ease your sorrow.
You will be in our hearts and thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Lana
It means not one thing that we didn't know you or your husband....or your lovely sounding place "Soggibottom", because no matter what, sometimes you just need everyone to say "we care" and give you a hug. Our gift is a hug....a heartfelt one.
Hugs.....Sammy and Mom Pam
It is hard to lose a pet, but so much more painful to lose a beloved best friend, soulmate, husband. He sounds like a wonderful guy. We are sending you a big warm hug.
We are so very sorry to have to be reading this wonderful memorial post. We know you mostly through sweet Princess Leah. Sending you Luv from our little Pack.
Marty, Mom and the Gang

I had known about this through another source and left you a note, but didn't know how much you wanted to be private. We are so hurting for you, losing a spouse and best friend is the hardes thing in the world. May the memories bring you some comfort in the coming days

What a beautiful tribute. We are so sorry for your loss.
Millie, Walter and mom Cindy
I am so very very sorry. Though I knew Tony wasn't well, I had no idea. I wish I could be there to help or just hug you and drink tea together.
I know how hard it is to keep up a cheerful face when one's partner is in distress. We have a similar problem here. Sometimes when I disappear from the blog it's because I just don't have the strength to deal with it. You are an inspiration to me. Please take good care of yourself.
Sue
Its another day , and we are right here hugging you,, and sending you love,,, and wanting to say
we love you,,,,,,,,,,
and wish we could make the hurt go away..
Blogville is circling around you!

Oh Midge.. I am just so sorry for your loss. Such insignificant words for such a huge ache in your heart..I pray for God's peace and strength for you, dear heart.. You are in my heart and mind.. Take care of yourself.. xo
My friend Tweedles sent me over. I just wanted you to know that Blogville is behind you, sending love and hugs during this time of grief. I am so sorry for your loss.
Oh my goodness - what a wonderful picture of him and what a terrific tribute to Tony. He sounded like a wonderful friend and husband. It just went to fast. I am still amazed and I am praying for you.
I love all the things he taught you in life and you will mourn but you will also continue on with what he taught you. Hugs and love.

Mum and I are so sad for you. We have tried to leave a comment many times but the words wouldn't come. Our friend Tweedles left a message for us. Thankyou Tweedles. Our love and prayers are with you. Huuuuuuugs!
Midge, I'm so sorry and don't know what to say. I believe in prayer so I'm at it for your Tony and for you. A beautiful post which must have been very difficult to write.
Sending you our hugs.

What a beautiful tribute. Sending big hugs from California!
You were so blessed to be a part of his life, from this tribute I can tell he was a true gift to you and he leaves behind even more. Not many can say they are able to find this type of person in their life, even with loss you were blessed. stella rose and momma.....
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear friend and husband.
Thinking of you - hugs and love.
