I won’t crumble

I have just been talking in one conversation about something my late husband said. It made me laugh at the time, but now gives me goosebumps but I thought it might make you all smile on this cold but sunny Saturday morning!
We were sat watching the D-Day commemoration in June and Tom Jones sang “I won’t crumble if you fall” I was getting a bit emotional watching it until my dear departed husband said “just so you know, I won’t crumble if you fall, I will sell the house, cash in the pensions, buy a massive motor home and travel the world” That amused me at the time and we both laughed. 3 weeks later, on a lovely sunny morning at the end of a June, he fell. When I am having a bad day, I listen to that song and whisper to him “I promise I won’t crumble either “:

Good mourning @Recentwidow. I agree that song is very poignant and made even more so by Sir Tom Jones singing it. What a voice! He sings it with great emotion. You’re right @Recentwidow, you won’t crumble, nor will I, because we’re strong and we carry our beloved men in our hearts. :heart:

It is very emotional isn’t it. Those old solders :face_holding_back_tears:
And you are right Kate, we won’t crumble, we owe it to our wonderful men to carry on and enjoy our lives, however hard that might seem at this moment. I am living mine for both of us x
