To the Memory of My Lovely Lady

Tomorrow ,14th January will be the 65th anniversary of our wedding
Helen died in 2010 just a few months after our Diamond anniversary
Time has deadened the pain but it will always be there
I still can’t get around to saying it ‘would’ have been our anniversary
It is still ‘live’
I have mentioned before of the poignant memories I have of our diamond anniversary
My wife was a lovely dancer and I couldn’t dance a step I persuaded a friend to teach me to do a waltz
I was arranging a large celebration party
I had bought a lovely diamond eternity ring ,and was to slip the ring on her finger when I tried to dance as they played a favourite tune
When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New
(An old song sung by a Jimmy Corelli He wasn’t much of a singer ,
But it was the words that mattered)
When your old wedding ring was new
And each dream that I dreamed came true
I remember with pride how we stood side by side
What a beautiful picture you made as my bride
Even though silver crowns your hair
I can still see the gold ringlets there
Love's old flame is the same as the day I changed your name
When your old wedding ring was new
(When your old wedding ring was new
And each dream that I dreamed came true
I remember with pride how we stood side by side
What a beautiful picture you made as my bride)
Even though silver crowns your hair...
I can still see the gold ringlets there
Love's old flame is the same as the day I changed your name
When your old wedding ring was new
But none of this was to be .her Alzheimer’s had progressed too far and the only time she had the ring on her finger was on the day of our anniversary
I never had the thrill of dancing just that one time
The diamond eternity ring is now in the loving care of our eldest granddaughter, and I know this would please her
These memories , poignant as they may be , are very precious , and when the sadness subsides I am still happy to remember what could have been
Like many people who are in a similar situation
I can only end my day with the prayer
‘that some day we shall be together again’
