Thanks Twirly & Lou, almost as soon as I listed this I found myself crying even more, so I think I might have worked out, its too quick. Also, I’m crying more now than ever. Just cant get used to the fact that shes not coming home.
Little story; up until I was about 30 I never cried at all. Not when my dad died or any reason at all. The misses n kids used to say ‘you’ve got no feelings, no sole’. Then a good friend of mine went into the Q.E. with cancer of the stomach; his sister had the same opp & shes doing fine. He went in & came out in a box. Still didn’t cry. Went to his funeral, came home, dropped to my knees in the dining room & sobbed my heart out !!! why? I haven’t got a clue, but from then on, I only have to see a sad movie or listen to a sad song, & I’m away. In 30+ years I have not been able to work out what triggered it. So now you know how easy I cry. & since Ingrid died I haven’t stopped for one single day (10 weeks today).
Think I’d better get extra tissues in.
Thanks again, Alan
