just for the xmas cake

[xn728]

we set off in the car ,the shop is only seven miles away ,fran looks great
she has her new leopard print coat on ,this is a massive thing for her
she cant walk far now ,and the further we get from home the more anxcious see gets ,so were on our way ,dont get to close to that car ,watch this lorry ,hang on dont go yet ,theres something coming ,
slow down ,oh god i wanna go home i cant i cant ,its ok fran well be there soon ,rubs her legs with a hand of love ,just stay with it my love you can do it ,she breathes heavy in out ,deep slow breaths ,nearly there now ,more breathing ,head down now beetween legs ,my head is banging driving under this strain is unbearale ,were here ,sits in the car 10 minutes to calm down ,ok out into the shop ,straight to the xmas cakes ,the thing is here is to get the cake pay for it and back home before panic sets in ,
we stand and look at the many cakes ,a little smile appears on her lips
as the display of cakes takes her mind away from the panic and copd that now has her life in its grip like the visitor has mine ,but at least i can make her happy ,unlike my constant demanding torture ,now the cake is chosen and we pay ,on the way out ,she sees the bubble baths ,and we stop ,i watch her intently ,and here it comes the little smile ,payed for the bubble baths and we go home ,just the same journey but not quite as bad because she knows were going home now ,so hard but to see that smile ,worth every moment ,,,,,,,,,,,,,if fran can smile ,we can all smile a little ,,,,,,xn728

That is so beautiful, my friend. I can only hope someday, somehow, I will find someone who loves me half as much as you love Fran. Your love inspires me, lets me know true love is real even though it has escaped me, its out there.

I am so glad that Fran got her cake and her bubble bath and that she had a smile. Wonderful.
