A Constant Reminder Pt. 01

This is a repost from when I was on here under a different username.

Paul Harrison sat in his favourite armchair, he watched with sadness at the snow gently falling outside. He wasn't sad about the weather. It was the first Christmas in years he could recall it snowing, it was also the first Christmas without his beloved wife, Vanessa. His wife passed away six months ago.

Vanessa, the woman he fell in love with when they were teenagers. Paul closed his eyes and thought back to better times. He remembered how their families reacted when they announced they were getting married, both of them only nineteen years old. Their parents said they were too young, didn't know what love was, and all the usual excuses. The only person who supported them was Paul's grand-mother, Edith Harrison.

Edith called a family conference, both sets of parents were told to attend. Even at the age of eighty-two, Edith still scared the living daylights out of people. Paul and Vanessa sat on the sofa holding hands. Their parents and Edith sat around her dining table. Edith listened as the parents rolled out every excuse you could find to stop the marriage, when she stood every one fell silent.

"So you think they are too young to know what love is, I say you are talking rubbish. I want to remind you that I was seventeen when I married my late husband, we had sixty-five years together. I was a mother to four children by the time I was twenty-five, don't you dare suggest they are too ...

Paul almost smiled as he thought of the look on his fathers face, he wouldn't dare argue with his mother. Eventually the parents agreed they could marry, despite this nobody expected it to last. As a wedding present Edith bought Paul and Vanessa a house, this caused another round of disagreements. Edith said her piece, after that it was never mentioned again.

"Thanks to my late husband being careful and clever with his investments, I have more money than I could ever spend. The last thing they need is a millstone of a mortgage around their necks."

When Vanessa found out she was pregnant they offered to name the child after Edith.

"Don't you dare. That child deserves a name for these times, Edith is like me, as old as the hills."

They settled on the name Millie. Millicent was Edith's middle name.

Millie was to be their only child as Vanessa had a difficult pregnancy and delivery problems, the doctors advised the couple against any further children. Paul qualified as an accountant, Vanessa became a stay at home Mum. The only sad moment in their lives was when Edith passed away, she absolutely doted on her great ...
