It is hard to believe that today--10th -is 4 years since George died.
Sometimes it seems like ages ago--at other times it seems like just the other week!!
I am coping-because I have to--but I still miss him every day.
Here is a simple poem I wrote to describe how I miss him.

Simple Pleasures, I recall.
They used to be so good.
If I could bring them back again,
There’s no doubt—I would.
Laughing at a private joke.
A smile that means “All’s rightâ€
A Loving hug to say “Helloâ€
A tender kiss goodnight.
Listening to our favourite song,
Remembering all the words !!
The ticking of the Hallway Clock.
Our cat’s contented purrs.
Autumn Leaves beneath our feet,
A robin in the snow.
Getting caught in April Showers.
A summer’s sunset glow.
Strolling by the river bank,
Sunday in the Park.
Ambling through the Bluebell Woods,
Getting home by dark.
Scrambled eggs-and buttered toast,
A cosy , roaring fire.
Snuggling up to watch TV-
The snow outside gets higher.
Memories of the day we met,
Friends we’ve loved—and lost.
Holidays we spent at home—
The place we loved the most.
Simple Pleasures—once so sweet-
It cannot be denied,
Nothing is the same without,
Your loved one –by your side.
