Background changed to the colour of the diabetes rose in memory of my lovely little wife who passed away 25^th March 2002 from a diabetic fit and coma while I was still overseas. I miss her terribly. We danced together so well. All I ever wanted was to dance with the lady I loved until we were too old and frail to walk. Life is so fragile, so unfair. Heaven is just up there. You can’t see it but sometimes you can feel it.

Well, it’s been a year now. How time flies. The pain is no less. The love is no less.

25^th March came and went. It was filled with prayers at home and a Catholic mass at Greenacre.

There was much grief for my loss and some joy for a new beginning for me.

I survive with the support of my friends (they know who they are), and a thankyou from the heart to one very, very special person who committed herself on that day to helping me build this new future.

I have moved Pauline’s tribute to her own site

Please visit her site and see how she changed my world
