3-08-1956-15-08-2023 It has been a one year since I lost Enid

 

 Who would thought a decision to put myself for sale in a bikers magazine would lead to me meeting the true love of my life.

We used to talk other the phone in the old fashioned red telephone boxes, mostly all gone now,write to each other.

Meet up in Bodmin which lead to finding out she had 3 children which never bothered me to deciding back in August 1988 to me taking a hugh gamble of wanting to be with Enid.

We visited various places in some ways we were like a down graded form of gypsies,Enid had to go to various courts whilst awaiting a divorce,I think you went to nearly every court in Devon and Cornwall it finally ended up in Truro .

I proposed to Enid at Ilfarcombe job centre.

Later on the 15 th June 1991 we got married at Holsworthy Register Office no longer around.

We did not fall out to often,we both were very much chalk and cheese.

Finding out she had cancer and being asked to not tell anyone is the biggest secret I have kept and it's lead to a bit of a fall out with family which I understand as that is thier decision.

I never forget the day the ward she was on at North Devon District Hospital rang up saying I needed to get to the hospital straight away, through some panic of trying to get a lift to the hospital.I got there this were I was informed by the doctor that Enid was near the end of her Journey.

We went to a side room were I keep Enid company as she slowly slipped away in front of my Eyes,I held her hand ,talked to her as I listened to her breathing rasping away .

When she goes to wherever you go when your journey ends. I balled my eyes out ,now I have a constant feeling of loneliness and sadness I can't change what happened .

Enid was a mother, wife, grandmother, aunt .

These lyrics from the song No Matter What represent our journey .

I can't be what I'm not

I know I'll love forever

I know no matter what

If only tears were laughter

If only night was day

If only prayers were answered

Then we would hear God say

No matter what they tell us

No matter what they do

No matter what they teach us

What we believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong

And shelter from the storm

No matter where it's barren

A dream is being born

No matter who they follow

No matter where they lead

No matter how they judge us

I'll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don't shine

Or if the skies are blue

No matter what the end is

My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe

I can't be what I'm not

I know, I know

I know this love's forever

That's all that matters now

No matter what

No, no matter (no no matter what)

No, no matter (no no matter what)

No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)

No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)

No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)

No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)

And no, no matter what, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)

And no, no matter what, that's all that matters to me

Enid , Goodnight I Love You,X

From Your Husband
