Tomorrow I travel to Cyprus , 40 days since my wife lost her long courageous battle against cancer . 46 years after first laying eyes on her , little did we both know all that time ago , both 17 years old , that one day we would be husband and wife and that she would fall in love with Cyprus the sunny island in the Mediterranean that gave birth to the goddess of love Aphrodite , and that it would be her ultimate and permanent resting place .
My English rose , I used to call her , wont tell you what she called me ..
Do I miss her , have the tears dried up , has the strange lonely feeling receded , has the memory of 46 years dwindled , I wonder how long it takes , maybe never but momentarily for two weeks my thoughts will be with the new generation , their lives will take priority their laughter and cries will somehow invalidate the sadness and emptiness the feeling of utter despair filled with anger and hopelessness against the enemy that won the day and took my rose away.

No Milti. One does not forget. You will sit the grandchildren on your knees and tell them the lovely story of you meeting Iris for the first time. There will be a smile on your face and you will teach them what love is. Then your next date and the next.............

Her memory will live on in your grandchildren Milti.

courage my friend, I dreed to know that one day I will be where you stand today.

slowly time will heal the pain, however I am sure you will never forget.

M... if it makes you feel any better, you have a great way in which you put your thoughts down in writting.

I do not know what you do for a living (I certainly enjoy reading them)

Ever thought of writting a book in memory of you lovely wife?

Mltiades i lost someone i loved deeply years ago, i couldnt handle it like you did, i cant say that after those year i forget anythinig, the little details, i suffred from loneliness, emptiness and anger,

disappointed and even no longer believe in god, why would god take the most beautiful people away!!

live goes on, you learn to dry your tears, you learn to put a weird mask on your face that show others how strong you are while deep inside you wounded and hurt,

to this day i know i have lost the dearest to me, i lost a bit of me, but deep inside i know im lucky to have been in this persons life, i was lucky this person was in my life and forever after im greatful.

the pain you feel is a reason to be proud, you have been one of the few people on this earth who knew and felt the greatness of love..

i deeply respect you for you courage you shown.. your English rose will always be with you
