As I turn back the pages of love

Llewellyn Kulasekere

I can hardly believe that a year has gone by since God called you to His heavenly home. I recall tearfully your stay in hospital when I was by your side day and night holding your hand till death parted us. I often wish God could have spared you for a few more years, but He knew how tired you were and that you needed complete rest.

I miss you more and more every day but God has given me the strength and courage to bear my great loss. Though you are no longer with me, I feel your presence guiding me. “Oh for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still.”

Memories are such a consolation and as I turn the pages of life, I thank God for all the blessings He bestowed on us during the 56 years of our married life. It is lovely to remember the happiness we shared, the thoughtful things you did for me, and all the special ways in which you showed how much you cared. Your kind and loving ways, your sense of humour, made each day brighter and brought such lasting pleasure.

‘Life has been so wonderful
Because of all you’ve done
And of all the gifts you’ve given me
Love has been the greatest one.
Until we meet in Heaven above,
I’ll love you all my days.’

Forever yours, Manel
