A reminder to those luckier than us

I wrote and have put it in my niece’s wedding anniversary card.
I’ve posted this in part before but here it is in full;

The Best Feeling

The Best Feeling when you’re an adult in a relationship, is Being in Love and Being Loved in return, the same way.
This person who is not related to you and hasn’t known you forever, has chosen you as… The One, Their One.
You feel happy.
You feel fulfilled.
You feel normal.
You feel part of something, part of someone.
You feel content.
You feel cared for.
You feel respected
You feel you matter.
You hold hands.
You give them a sneaky kiss just because you can.
You know you’re not on your own.
You will be comforted.
You will laugh together.
You will cry together.
You will discuss your life together.
You will make decisions together.

We take all this for granted through the years and only realise its beauty when it’s gone.
And then there’s nothing you can do about it.

Please, never forget to love, to show your love and cherish every moment together X ❤️

The BEST Feeling

I write my thoughts in a book… for someone to read one day when I’m not here.

The BEST feeling in adult life is;
BEING IN LOVE AND BEING LOVED BACK.
You are happy.
You are content.
You feel fulfilled.
You feel complete.
You feel part of something, of someone.
You feel you matter.
That there is someone not blood related, who chose you to be their ONE.

There is no other feeling like that.
The sad thing is, you only truly realise this when it’s gone.
And there’s nothing you can do. 💔😢

F60. 9 months in.
No kids, on my own in silence 😢

I don’t want to be here

My fiancé died unexpectedly from cancer 8months ago, just 10 days before we were getting married.

It was second time for us both. We did everything together. No big groups of friends.

When all financials are sorted, I’d like to go.

No one really understands how I feel.

My parents died 4 years ago, 3 weeks apart. No illness. That was devastating and I thought the worst thing possible. but life carried on and I got back to normal.

i have no normal now, just an empty life with no one to love me in the only way your partner can.

I hate listening to folk talking about their booked holidays, I hate seeing caravans - we have a tourer and absolutely loved our holidays. I hate seeing old folk walking hand in hand - that’s all I ever wanted - to be normal with a loving caring respectful man…. and I had that.

We were due to retire early soon to enjoy our freedom after working and saving. To be free.

Ive stopped working as I have no patience with anyone or anything now.

I read, watch TV and drink wine.

I have a sister who I love but she has her own life to live, which is how it should be.

I miss my man every minute of every day.
