Seventeen weeks ago to day I was sat by the side of my wife’s hospital bed,holding her cold hand and kissing her cold face,those images will never leave me,it was my regimental re-union last night,I should have been there with a beautiful,elegant lady on my arm,a couple of ex-comrades dropped by with a bottle for me to join the toast to fallen ex comrades at the right time,I was told they included my wife in the toast,the first one I couldn’t attend.

Hello Ron,
I know Sundays are particularly difficult for us.
It is totally understandable that you did not attend the reunion.
What good friends to come round.
Thinking of you.
Take care,

Hi Ron
18 weeks for me today with similar images in my head. I agree with Rose; they are true friends to have considered your feelings in that way. How thoughtful.
Sending a big hug

Hello everyone,
it is 25 weeks today.
This morning I was reminded of a photo I had taken one year ago of my husband swimming. So the tears came.
I made the mistake of looking at the clock and of course my thoughts went back
to that Sunday.
I could see him still with me, sitting in the sun together totally oblivious
to what would happen.
I could feel what it was like to be with him, that was heartbreaking
So the tears returned.
I will be ok but I really hate Sundays.
Love and hugs to all of you.
Rose xx

So sorry, @Ron11 ; but lovely that your ex-comrades called round. That’s so thoughtful. These date-markers just punch you in the guts. Thursday would have been John’s 77th birthday, and after 10 months, I thought I could handle it well, but just ended up as a soggy mess.
Take care of yourself.

Thank you catrin,
Yes it was they are a great bunch of lads,my one abiding wish is we could all find some peace and tranquility,having said that if it meant giving up the love for our loved ones I would happily take the pain.
Take care Ron.
