On this day seven years ago at 0220 my wife/ friend/companion was declared dead. We had been together for 60 years.
She was in our local hospital and I had been told there was no hope of survival and it was just a matter of time. Hard to take this in until I met her specialist nurse in floods of tears. She had come from Oban to say goodby to her old friend. Very unprofessional she admitted but their relationship was like mother and daughter.
I had been sent home to get some rest leaving our younger son in charge and wakened just after 0200 knowing I had to get back to the hospital and despite doing the proverbial bat out of h— she was gone by the time I got there. Totally illogical but I think she came to tell me she was going.
I may have few days off.
