So here I am on the edge of finding out my fate...due to meet with the oncologist in two hours time. A jumble of positivity mixed with fatalism rushes through my veins, a heady mix of adrenaline & fear. Then I thought of something I came across whilst packing up our home of 30 years, I know strange how things never come along singly.
I found, amidst the old books & papers, a valentine sent from my great grandfather to my great grandfather over 100 years ago; a family memento of love that endures.
'Remember me, blessed with thy love I'll ne'er repine.
What e'r my lot may be,
The sweetest joy on earth is mine.
If thou rememberest me.'
So that's what my motto for today is ' Enduring love'...
