Just Married

Sharon and I are now married! She was awesome today. This morning the solicitor came to the hospice to help Sharon write her will. It was very hard for her, as she is really sleepy because of the anti-sickness drugs she is taking. One the solicitor left, she slipped back to sleep.

The doctor, nurses and myself were all doubtful that Sharon would even be able to make the wedding. The doctor changed the formula of her drugs to try to reduce the sedative effects, but none of us were really sure she would be able to go through with the wedding ceremony, booked for 5pm.

Then at 4.15pm, she woke up, and said, "come on then, I'm getting married... bring it on!". The girls turned up at 4.30pm and helped Sharon put her wig and make-up on, and bought a nice top over for her to wear. My friends had my suit dry-cleaned and bought it over to the hospice and at 5pm, Sharon and I got married. She was never one to say romantic stuff, and used to tell me "oh stop it soppy bollox" when I said romantic stuff to her, but I KNOW, she loves me. The way she rallied today to get up and get married tells me that. She was so happy.

The service was bitter-sweet, it was a goodbye for many of the people who attended, and a last moment of being happy and laughing with Sharon for us all.
