He almost wept

I had to go twice today to the Sorting Office so I got a cab the second time.The driver said on returning he had not seen my husband lately.When I told him he had died he was distressed..My husband had used them a lot as he got slower walking to the station but thus man had taken him to the hospital too.

We sat in the car for a few minutes and I said  he had had a very peaceful death holding my hand.But this did not comfort the poor man who was definitely  not a native of England as most of the southern  ones rarely show a feeling.Then he accepted some money but not enough as he had been kept waiting  by me for a long time.He had a very moving expression on his face.Fortunately I did not fling myself into his arms as that might have given him a shock.I felt sad too but happy as well because I managed to do a lot of things … maybe my haemoglobin is rising.I saw  that it was almost low enough for me to need a blood transfusion in May but I didn’t know…I am  hoping it has risen now and perhaps I am getting more done.

Then I can sit and look at my acers if the sun shines again.
