. "May your gentle touch be felt in the whispers of the wind, forever" This quote is not a widely known or attributed quote. Found online. _______________________________________________________ || === || I grow older by the minute he told her, in a tender voice. The doctor says it wont be long, but I don’t have the choice. You know I want to be with you, my darling as soon as I can. You’ll always be my sweetheart and I’ll always be your man. At night he would sometimes be watching the star's trajectory. He would be lying on the empty plot beside her at the cemetery It didn’t matter if clouds bathed in sunshine or it rained instead. His gravestone was ready for the future. Together Again it read. This month seemed like an eternity as he sat beside her empty chair. His eyes no longer sparkled, now his soul mate was no longer there. His love for her was more than a myriad of stars in the sky. He knew she was watching over him, so he dared not to cry. He took flowers from their garden to her every single day. Up to the hillside and by her gravestone, the roses he would lay.

You are so right Jay, Its been over thirty years since Mum and Dad have passed, my love for them will always stay. Thirty years ! wow it seems like yesterday.. The words "Together Again" really are on my Dad's plaque at the cemetery, next to Mum's. Thanks for your warm comment Jay, your words are always appreciated.

Oh Wen! This is so heartfelt. I read it on a another level than written here and factored a different element we've discussed in the past. So I'm sat in the trampoline park with tears in my eyes - lots of love to you Wen x

Your comment means the world to me, dear friend. I think that you can guess that I had tears in my eyes as I wrote it. The shape was an afterthought that just sort of happened. What are you doing sitting when you could be enjoying the ups and downs of life ?????? Have fun :)
