When I’m sad this brings me so much joy. (And makes me cry)
It was two weeks before Tony died. He was in pain & heavily medicated.
Yet, briefly, at the end of this I had my Tony back for a few lovely moments. Looking cheeky & teasing me.
I know I’ve shared it already 😑

I’ve got the evening to myself bc Alan’s working very late. Normally I’d play in my art journals. And I kind of want to … but I’m vaguely grumpy & out sorts.
Maybe I should just go to bed and watch art videos!l?

This morning I thought I was fine with it being 3 weeks since to Tony died. Alan’s working so I’ve come home, put dinner on, prepped my breakfast and … nothing. No art. No craft. Just sitting watching art videos. Hmmm…

For the last 3 years I've combined my tea breaks so I could visit Tony in the morning, then run errands at lunchtime so I could see him straight after work.
I'm taking breaks like anyone else and having a proper lunch - and I still have time to spare.
What is this magic?!

It’s 3 weeks since I realised Tony’s breathing was changing & I should sleep beside him in the lazyboy rather than come home & leave him with the rest home staff.
How is it 3 weeks already?
