Cats
This is one of my very favourite family pictures, taken in Scotland circa 1967.
My lovely brother Angus died earlier this week after a valiant fourteen month battle with pancreatic cancer. We gathered at his hospital in London two weeks ago and I am profoundly grateful that we had the opportunity to be together as a family one last time and say our good-byes. Angus' spirit was still strong and he was mostly just concerned about us and that we shouldn't be sad.
I am truly thankful to have grown up with Angus; protective and sometimes annoying (as an older brother can be) but always loving, he was an energetic, larger than life personality who was adored by everyone! My parents, Duncan, Sarah and myself have lost a jewel and we are desolate, Angus will be missed more than words can say.
