Love, Love is all you Need – –

Jack gets over the line just in time  –

Today is what would be called in Scotland a ‘dreich’ day – grey and drizzly and depressing.

What doesn’t help is that Wendy is gone for a week. First to Ohio for a day of radio production training, then to Jonesboro Tennessee and now in Atlanta for a medical conference.

She won’t be home until Friday and the house feels empty without her.

Meanwhile I follow her instructions and the list she wrote of domestic duties.

Of course she made sure I wasn’t left alone all the time – making sure that friends would spend time with me which was touching.

Wendy has a favorite piece of writing by Thomas Hardy from ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’ that goes something like “And at home by the fire, whenever you look up there I shall be— and whenever I look up, there will be you.”

By pure coincidence I first saw Wendy across the square in Jonesboro twenty-eight years ago and I was determined to get to know her. I was never happier than when she said “yes”.

So, if you have a partner in your life cherish them and thank whoever you believe in that they’re there.

Like everyone we’ve had a few ups and downs but she’s been the love of my life throughout and I will be very happy to see her home again.

Hold those you love close!
