Ain't No Sunshine

A couple of days ago, I booked the wheelchair taxi and brought Don home for the day.  Trying to do this a couple of times a week nowadays.  We had lunch, sat out on the deck for a bit, then we watched the movie "Notting Hill".

If you have seen the movie, you will remember there is a point where Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts are parted, and it looks like it is all over between them.  As he mopes about London, the background song is:

"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away;
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long, any time she goes away."

I was only half listening, until Don turned to me and said very quietly, "That's how I feel about you."

People sometimes look a little askance at the notion that I go to the nursing home every day to be with Don.  Well, that's why.

    Thank you for sharing this very tender moment with us, Barb. I was so pleased when Don got into a nursing home close to you - because I too would need to go every day, just as you do. He's the sunshine in your life, too. Harriet
