Dedicated to the memory of Christine Edwards
UPDATED 16TH SEPTEMBER 2021
It’s often said, time is a healer, but I doubt a part of me will ever heal. My counsellor told me that my grief would never diminish but that my life would expand and grow again. Two years ago, my world was shattered. But this isn’t about me, it’s about everyone out there who has contributed to enriching my life beyond Christine’s passing. That’s why at the top of that list is my Vivi, her sheer enthusiasm for life lifts my soul and makes me believe that it’s okay to be happy again and not feel guilty for being so. Vivienne is my future, being with her is quite wonderful. She’s been there though my loneliest, darkest times and her unwavering support has been and continues to be invaluable. In the 5 devastating, tearful, weeks that was spent at Phyllis Tuckwell hospice, Christine and I laughed, cried and held each other, staying by her side every night. Watching her slowly fade broke my heart. We were supposed to grow old together, but it was not to be. She told myself and family that I was to carry on “You go find someone; you’re not going to do this on your own” she would insist. How right she was. I’ve done the one thing that others have. I have not let her down and never did. Viv and I speak of Christine often and it’s lovely to regale stories of her with happy memories and not tears. She’s never far from me, as was her final wishes to remain with me at home. There are many others that I am grateful too, family, friends old and new and those that have made the effort to keep in touch, all have shown me great support and I thank them all, but as I said at the onset, it’s not about me, it’s about the lady in my life now and for long as we have together, Vivienne, my rock, my nutter, my life, my future wife. Thank you darling.
