A special occasion

So many have come to see my partner over the last few days. Unfortunately some have missed out. She was asleep. Or out. Its the luck of the draw. You might like to try again. It becomes clear that the 'longer' you live the more the present seems to compress. The moments and memories become more succinct as you go through a few short hours called a day.

I pushed her around in the chair to a nearby cafe. She had a few sips of the soy decaf latte while the traffic roared around us. We sat outside - there were too many steps to go inside. Too unsafe to be worth the risk. She rolled her eyes at me as I helped far too much. It rained. Then was too sunny. It rained. Then was too sunny.

I went home and made some supper to take back to her. I walked the dog. My son, my partner and I had tea at the ward. We opened the wine that was a present from a friend who said must be kept for a very special occasion. A few more days, weeks or maybe a month. Definitely special occasion time.
