Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Strange how you plod along and suddenly something happens that puts you off kilter

I thought I was doing ok and accepted he had gone but it's still there bubbling there under the surface

I have surprised myself just how much losing him has affected me

Well we had met when I was 18 and he was 21 and had been married for 58 years so he was part of me <3

Quite embarrassing

I go to a coffee morning on a Tuesday at the local Dobies garden centre with the local U3A group I belong to

We were sitting chatting and I suddenly saw across the restaurant a guy dressed like my hubby ,same height,same grey hair and style and facially very similar

I had to double take and couldn't take my eyes off him

Felt my throat gulp then my eyes well up and even though I tried to contain myself I just couldn't

Had a cry and had to take my glasses off and try to contain myself

Think I may have concerned the others there and had to say sorry if I embarrassed

It's times like that suddenly floor you
