Living without Averil
Nic Hart
A busy station and a quiet moment with Alex, Averil's partner, before he heads to New Zealand.
We sit across a coffee table as the anticipation of Alex's flight later in the evening grows.
The station is buzzing with passers by, but there is a stillness which echoes our thoughts of life without Averil.
We talk of the good times, the special joys of knowing and living with Averil, we talk of the sadness and heartache of living without her now.
Time stands still and then passes in a flash, we laugh as we recall the good times, and struggle to hold back the tears that we know are close to the surface.
Alex's rucksack is full, ready for adventures. He will be travelling with memories of Averil always with him and our thoughts and love close beside.
