Lying on a couch waiting for her chair
Suddenly made aware of a presence
Looking up, beanie hat draped around her head
Surprised, to say the least, but excited
‘Its Scottish Alan!’, blurted out at full volume
Recognition overcoming all her disabilities

Bear hugged in gentle manner
Being careful with the fragility of Alicia’s frame
Happy, in fact overwhelmed by her memory
Months apart, one previous meeting, and now much love
Eternal thanks spread across her huge smile
Life changing events witnessed in person, by both
