Thank you for sharing your journey with such honesty and warmth. I’m so sorry for the loss of Bodmin—it’s incredible how much our routines and connections with our pets shape our lives. The unexpected challenge with the bees and your mindfulness approach to navigating it all is truly inspiring. Life’s sweetness often does come in ways we don’t anticipate, and your experience is a beautiful reminder to stay open to finding it, even in the midst of chaos.

This s a great story. My grandmother had bees in a wall of her house and the experience p,Syed out very much the same way. The bee community is crucial to contact.

I so enjoyed your post about the bees. Bees are one of my favorite beings, and I fell in love with them when I was 8 and going through a great loss. You write with such grace and compassion about your experience. I'm sorry for your loss. Losing our beloveds, especially unexpectedly, is so very hard.

Oh Fiona, I held my heart for your beloved Bodmin.The ordinary routines in life are magical but it’s only when they disappear do we realise that. This is another beautiful piece of writing that I’m sure many can connect with. I hope life is a little more settled today ❤️ 🏡

It most certainly is. I don't want to offend anyone - I respect everyone's beliefs, and mine are quite likely extremely ignorant - but if there is a God, and if I make it to Heaven (both of which I doubt) my first question to him/her will be - "Why the Hell did you give us these brains, pal? And why didn't you help us?". Thank you again, Fiona, for doing something good with your life ☀️
