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.
