What a lovely tribute to her. Oh just think of the wonders she is now privvy to! Think of joy to see the Savior! I can only imagine it.Thank you Zippy2 Sis'
My 'loss', pails into utter-insignificance
when compared-with
Mary's determination, these past 2+ years
To then receive, a single, stroke in the brain
and to leave this world, some 7-8 hours later
without having 'given' any-sign, of being 'aware'
was as gentle 'a-release' as I can possibly imagine
Mary 'deserved' to go peacefully
just as I prayed she would, only minutes before she passed
So, you see, not a man beset by sorrow and anguish ~'in-grief'
but one, who is, just so very-happy
that Mary did not have-to begin the next course of chemo
(due, to-start, the following week)
That, she doesn't have-to rely upon me
to lift her onto the toilet and off again afterwards
and set to rights any 'mishaps'
Such a dependance, really affronted her-dignity
I hope my insistence, that we were "IN THIS, TOGETHER"
gave-her some real support
Mary knew, as we all did (right from the get-go)
that Mary's treatment would be 'palliative' (Not CURATIVE)
She gave the impression, she would 'keep going'
and that, thankfully \o/ was not her decision to make \o/
I have no-trouble 'sleeping' although I am become very-much a Night-Owl
Everything changes!
I am eating and, so are our pets
Whenever that hole that Mary left-behind 'opens'
I stuff 'good-memories' into that gap
Well, she took a piece of me with her _Lovely lady

Until we meet again \o/ \o/ \o/
SUBLIME! We're having an oasis of summer in the middle of winter! Today is blissful perfection.
Edit - Oopsie daisies. I hadn't noticed this was in the 50+ section when I posted, so I'm editing it out. My apologies.
Oh!As I'm going to bed soon I'll miss that, but maybe I'll wake to it in the morning. I've just looked outside to see if there are any stars, but it's low cloud cover at the moment so I'm not sure what it will do.
