I wake and see the pillow where your head once lay My life once bursting with colour Transformed into black and white Scattered memories surround me How I wish I could see your face I walk life’s lonely path With you no longer by my side 12~28~16

He is away with his family but the loneliness he feels when he's home is painful to see. We had a very quiet Christmas and will do the same for the New year:-) hope 2017 is a great one for you Agnes:-) hugs Jan xx

Oh Jan, so well expressed. At the best, we are only partially equipped for this. I really cannot imagine; all I can do is fear it.

Such a sad and heart touching piece. To lose someone you love forever...how does one deal with something like that? Hopefully in time the good memories will outweigh the grief, but I can't be believe it would ever be completely. Nicely expressed Jan.
