in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

I took ice cream and cake a fish sandwich and a lovely new shirt decorated by her cousins

She looked lovely and had no idea who I was or what was going on.  

I remembered her 20th birthday.  12 years we have been on this road 

I played "Did she mention my name"  and "Those were the days"

    I hope you at least managed a hug from the birthday girl today. You deserve it.
