Tomorrow will be 104 weeks since Colin died. The actual date is 5 April, but it was a Sunday when he rapidly deteriorated. The day before was a canny day. The weather was good and he sat by the window looking at the daffs in the garden for a while. None of us knew that was going to be the last time he would see it.
The daffodils have been plentiful again and I managed to cut the grass a couple of weeks ago, not quite to his standard but at least it's been done with my toytown size lawnmower I just can't get the petrol one to start and am too impatient to wait for the lads to find the time
2 years on and I still hate Sundays, going to bed on my own, getting up on my own and still cry on my own- though not as much or as often as I used to oh and overthinking too!
Hi.
I love that quote at end of your message- even though it did make me cry a little. How lucky are we all to be able to say that our partners loved us until the end of their lives.
Not a lot makes me feel lucky these days but that’s something I’m going to try to hold onto now.
Tjank you for sharing
