Wendy, let the feelings come out as they will, trying to be 'brave' all the time isn't good and you will have lots of times where a song, a smell or a situation will trigger a memory.

I am sure your hubby was keeping an eye on that guest using his tools, and thinking Well that's not how I would have done it, or vice versa.

Glad you have company and someone to help out too

Jemima I agree the words are beautiful x

Merlin, after I read your post I Googled The Way We Were that those words came from. It is just like that at the moment. It's just one of those things.
Thank you

TS.Perhaps its like the Song Says, Memories, light the corners of my mind, Misty water coloured Memories of the way we were. :-)

:-) Tenerife Sun-
That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read! It has made me cry!

It will be something to treasure for always <3

Liz thanks I'm okay. I have a couple staying with me at the moment for two weeks and the man has been doing some jobs on the house for me. I think watching him do things that my husband normally did, using his tools etc started me reminiscing a little too much :-(
Thank you for your concern

Wendy

Oh Tenerife Sun, I have only just read this and it bought tears to my eyes it was SO beautiful. I shall copy it into a book that I keep all sayings, poems and articles that catch my eye. Thank you SO much for sharing it.
Hoping all is well with you,
Liz x

Thank you EOS, I'm fine now. 'I don't know what came over me' as the saying goes xx :-)

Dear Sunshine

Hello

So beautiful and thank you so much for allowing us to share this.


Take extra gentle care of yourself
With many good wishes
Elizabeth,
xx

Thank you Liz. I am sure we will meet again in some way. I do have evidence of this. To look at my husband you wouldn't think he was the poetic type at all but he was very romantic and I was thoroughly spoilt so I have a lot to be thankful for x

Paula, thank you for your comments. Your husband was too young to go, I know life is treating you well now, long may it continue x

Wendy, that's not a lapse, it's a normal feeling to have, life after loss is full of ups and downs, some people have more downs than others, depending how life is treating them at the time.

That verse is on the Remember me thread, I think. It is lovely and such a nice thing to find again. I love your idea of framing it to keep nearby. What a lovely man your husband must have been, don't forget you will meet again one day.

Sorry for not getting back to the thread earlier. I have visitors and we went out for a meal last night.

Thank you all. I think it is part of a longer verse by someone else. I've put my 'sad hat' back in its box for a bit, I just had a bit of a lapse yesterday.

Wendy x

Ann, I hope all is well with you and you're family. I'll email you as soon as I can xx

What a lovely thing to find <3

One of my favourite verses Wendy. It will make you sad but will bring beautiful memories too. And how like him to send that to you. Lovely, lovely man, we miss him. :-) <3 <3

I have to say that it brought a tear to my eyes.....A lovely thoughtful gesture <3

What beautiful words and such a comfort to find them now. <3

If he composed it when he was so ill then that is truly awesome!

Wendy my husband. died nine years ago yesterday, it would have been his sixty seventh birthday tomorrow. This lovely verse has just made me cry.

Just remember TS.....that all the happy, loving memories you have are treasures you can keep taking out, enjoy them and put them back <3


Now im going because Im looking a soppy fool :-) <3

Many thanks Mau and Mersey x

Beautiful words thank you for sharing.It's a lovely idea to have them printed and framed and as Mersey says they'll keep the memories alive.
