In 1963 I accepted the invitation of a work colleague to go on a blind date with a trainee nurse from Geelong. It was the best decision that I ever made. The nurse that I met that night was Heather Higgins. Two years later we married. Now, almost 56 years later it is time to say "goodbye" to Heather. Heather, you have given me a wonderful life. We have raised three sons, had successful and fulfilling professional lives and enjoyed our retirement. Last week you told me that we had a fortunate life. You mentioned how proud you were of the boys who have become caring parents and allowed us to be blessed with wonderful grandchildren. We spoke about the friendships that we made over the years and of how much you enjoyed y our nursing and midwifery training and careers. You also told me how grateful you are to the medical and nursing people who have looked after you - especially over the last three or four years. You particularly mentioned Ric. Milner, Deb. Harley, Philip Campbell, Damien Dowling, Gemma Strickland, Damien Holdaway and Tim O'Brien. You also wanted to make sure that I didn't forget the nurses and ward staff at St. John of God, Geelong who you described as friends as well as carers. After your trip to the Royal Melbourne Hospital last week you made it clear that you were happy to remain in palliative care at St. John's and not to seek other treatment options. You were at peace with your decision. After all that you have been through, you'd had enough. It was the right decision. My darling, I'm so sorry that we haven't been able to complete all that we wanted to do in recent years but your strength throughout all these adversities has inspired us all. I know that you sometimes didn't want to be called "strong" but you were. You have supported the boys and me in every way and always placed your needs below ours. I love you so very much and will miss you, your love and friendship and your cooking. Thank you for everything Heather, I will never forget you. My life is empty without you. John. Read more
