Actions louder than words

-

Dear June

I HAVE always believed that when I pass over, I’ll be reunited with my parents and family.

My husband passed two months ago in hospital.

Does he know I love him? I regret not telling him more often when he was alive.

Will he be there for me when my time comes? I. Barry, Hampshire.

To have a strong belief that you will be reunited with your parents, family and loved ones will be of great comfort during your grief.

There are many who hardly ever utter the words, ‘I love you’ and there are others who say them many times a day.

My parents very rarely told me they loved me but I knew they would have given their lives for me without hesitation.

To me, actions speak far louder than words and those three little words are merely back-up for the actions that show the true meaning of ‘I love you’.

Your husband knew you loved him and knows you continue to do so.

There will always be a special place in your heart just for him.

In every life partnershi­p, there will nearly always be one who has to be left behind for a while.

You asked if he would be there when your time comes.

If the tables were turned and you were asked the same question, would you be there to meet him?

Your answer would undoubtedl­y be, of course, so why would you house even the smallest of doubts that he would answer differentl­y?

He will most certainly be there.
