Not a word was written on this day,
A day where life seemed to pull me
From normality
Into the depths of despair.
My lovers mind was lost,
Completely lost in her own world,
Her world of dementia.
No sense was spoken,
And it was repeated time after time,
Conversation was never in her mind.
She needed me with her
All the time.
My love is so strong for her,
But I need some time on my own
To write words.
But on that day it never happened,
I needed to be with her constantly,
Her mind closed in on itself.
Today I write these words,
So already,
Today is a better day.

Andy,
Life pulled you where you were needed the most...with your Joyce.She needed you and you were there! I’m happy for you that “today is a better day”. It is a Sun🌞Day...after all!
Happy Sunday! May it be brighter than this smile 😊!
My love to Joyce and you!
~Laura~
Thank you Laura, it was a better day.
Thank you for your love to us both, it means such a great deal to me.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO ~ UNCLE ANDY ~ WE BOTH ENJOYED ITS COOLNESS ! Careless Love the concept of LOVE for many in the 21st C ! BUT never for JOYCE & Yourself who are a great example of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE whatever the circumstances ~ thanks for caring & sharing. We suffer because we are separated for a Season by 11k miles (and £1500 !) and I know when ANGELA returns to Essex she will be changed ~ NZ does that to you ! However it will be a change for the better ! Angela works with Headway (as a Physio) and she knows a Young Man can go out on his Motorbike and return helpless ~ but his Young Wife loves HIM just the same as before ~ in fact with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE even more. God has given you a solemn responsibility to care for JOYCE and we pray for strength & understanding. ANGELA & I have Unconditional Love because you never know ~ what a day may bring forth ! Every Blessing to You & Joyce in your daily walk with God ~ LOVE BRIAN 😎 & ANGELA 🧡🧡
Thank you for your kind words Brian, yes true love is unconditional and that vow I made "in sickness and in health" is so meaningful to me.
Life pulls and tugs at us in all different directions every day. Your priorities are the right ones sir. Loved ones are the most treasured of all the gifts this life brings.
Soon you will once again walk your river and talk with the creator, refreshing your batteries and reinforcing your positivity.
You are so right da, This week Joyce is going into a care home fro a weeks respite care and I and My Spirit will once more be able to walk with My River.
A fine write Gold. I saw a Vicar and a Curate serving during an informal. service (no dog collars either, though that's neither here nor there!).
The Vicar went to comfort someone, and sat with a grown man who was weeping. Then another week the Curate helped, as she directed people to spare seats - a full church!
I went and told the Vicar afterwards how sensitive and thoughtful I considered it.
A former Vicar was bit of a stuff-shirt, though his Curate would also help in those ways.
Many Vicars are caring people, it is good to see them in action.
Thanks Gold. I won't go into detail about one Vicar. it's all over now. He has gone for ever - whether for good or bad!
Writing can be a great tonic for whatever ails you. Good poem here.
You are so right fuche_be, I can get lost in my writing, it helps me a great deal.
i hope you and she have many better days
So do I Ron, thank you.
my pleasure andy,i know life can be hard
I think we all understand and have bad days when we cannot be on. We are here for you Andy! Thinking of you and Joyce!
Thank you Christina, your words mean so much to me.
That is amazing, heartfelt and moving my friend
Thank you Richard, much appreciated.
