    ... woman to share it with. What a delight Sally-Ann is to my eyes, bustling about the kitchen like this...it brings back wonderful memories of my wife when she was vibrant, healthy and happy and able to do so...That’s in the past and my future is now. I stood there like a dopey statue watching her until....... “Goodness, Thomas, don’t dawdle,” Sally-Ann said, teasingly, “do you need help putting on your apron?” Sally-Ann didn’t wait for my reply; she took the apron from me, placing the neck strap over my head and reaching under my arms to tie it in the back around my waist in a bow.

This is something else we have in common; singing to the radio when nobody is around. It was midnight before we knew it and he stood up, “Will you look at the time.” “Do you really have to go?” I asked standing up with him and touching his face. “I’ll be back tomorrow around noon with my paint sprayer and compressor. You talked about painting it dark green. I’ll wire brush it well first; prime it and then.......” I put my arms around Thomas’s neck and kissed his warm lips to stop him from talking, “You really did change your days off for me, Rain Man,” I said looking into his eyes. “I can do that since I’m the boss.
