Jigsaw man

Tis what a good woman can do

Just three pieces, kindness, humour, warmth,
convinced her to begin,
to begin in 1991 to assemble,
slowly, carefully, lovingly,
the many, many parts that lay before her.
Gradually over many years
a picture began to take shape.
A picture of a man,
a man given confidence (by her love)
self belief (by her love)
self respect (by her love)
A man that opened his heart to true love,
accepted and adored another man's greatest gift
promising to love, cherish, protect.
A man that became a husband,
a father,
whole,
and eternally grateful that fate had them cross each others paths.
Now, after 28 years of marriage,
the jigsaw gets ever closer to completion,
although every now and again a piece,
a very small piece,
may come slightly loose
and will be pressed firmly, but with love,
back into place by the lady that is his rock, his world, his life.

PS When I read the title I thought of the book by that title by Paul Britton. One introduction to which reads
' An intensely private and unassuming man, Britton has an almost mythic status in the field of crime deduction because of his ability to 'walk through the minds' of those who stalk, abduct, torture, rape and kill other human beings.'
Nice bit of fiction that statement as I worked the the skiving self serving fellow who got Rachel Nickell so very wrong!

One of the few books that I have read.
You must have had some interesting cases John

Very much so. I lead seven independent inquiries

What a wonderful and loving, and humble eulogy to your wife and your marriage Gee. Written with passion and words that simply gurgle with respect and thanks.
