As he walked away...

As he left our house after eating a large meal, washed down with several cups of half-cold milky cups of tea, whilst watching our PG Tips monkey DVD, the last words that Mark said to me were "Thanks, Mum. See you soon. Love you," and of course, my reply was, "Love you too. See you soon - drive carefully". We shared a big hug and he walked away, waving with his free arm, as the other was loaded with several frozen, home-cooked meals, as had bee the habit over the years. Since he left us, there are two music tracks that make my eyes go soggy when I hear them. The boys might find them a little 'gushy', but I'm sure the ladies will understand why I've chosen them. I hope you like them both, and think of Mark whenever you hear them. They are Enrique Iglesias' "Miss You", and Westlife's "My Love". The third track was a big favourite of Mark's as a young boy, and I've included it to make everyone smile, as it did, him. It is Madness' "Baggy Trousers"! Lotsluv, Chrissie.
