The Sun Will Shine Tomorrow (41 page)

Joy nodded with relish.

Greg and I looked at one another and burst out laughing.

‘Do you think you can put up with this geriatric husband, Ann?’

‘Only if you promise to love me into my old age which, according to Lily, is now,’ I replied.

‘Oh, I promise to love you forever and ever – till death us do part.’

I looked over at Granny. Alice was standing beside her and Granny had been crying. Perhaps like me she was remembering my beloved grandad but she might have been shedding tears of happiness for Greg and me on our wedding day. It was a day that seemed to be full of tears – but ones of joy, I hoped. A day I never thought I would see.

Dear, dear Granny. She was still wiping her eyes.

Catching my eye, I expected a watery smile but, instead, a huge grin lit up her face and she gave me a big thumbs up.

Greg and I started laughing again.
