University of Warwick.

She shopped for the beginning of a NEW chapter of her life. She packed her bags.I helped her pack. Everyone came over to say their goodbyes . She hugged her family. I watched her get her bags ready.

I went in the solitude of my room and wept. It was true. She was leaving.

It was going t o happen and I had to ACCEPT it. As I shed my ,I walked towards her. With watery eyes I looked at her. She hugged me and cried.

We came home and the house appeared empty. I missed her.

Her presence made a huge difference to our lives.

Everywhere I went, every room I sat in, I would see her and hear her voice.

I saw her sitting on the sofa watching TV like she always
