As it is, would have been my Richards 75th Birthday today, i am finding i am reminiscing on our early life, re, our dog walking together, mainly in our dating days when we just had the one dog, my dog…I am just picturing a walk we had often done, it was a walkway- a cycle run lane that took us from one end, where i was living to the other end, Rickmansworth Aquadrome canal, then a walk around the lake and back home…I was not a holding hands person but i did love to link arms as we did on these walks…I am now in the kitchen microwaving a meal and going back to those days and comparing those days to these days, well the last few years…Instead of linking his arm, due to my MS and balance, I would in my earlier stages just three or so years ago, literally cling onto his polo top sleeve, he always wore polo tops with button opening at the neck, plus always short sleeves not long sleeves, and i would grab hold of the material, more than grabbing hold of his actual arm, where he often said, you are going to pull me down, well that always got me laughing as i replied, if you go down, i go down with you, followed by, we are the blind, leading the blind…what with his breathing problems which back then we both believed to just be COPD, although that too goes in stages…
Hi,Jackie,we too used to enjoy our walks,although Rob had an electric wheelchair for quite a few years and because I have Arthritis in my knee,I used to hold on to the chair for support.I found it really hard to walk anywhere without holding on to it.I must look drunk sometimes when I go out!I do miss those walks.Not the same on your own and they would bring back too many memories.x
