Dr. Sarojini Perera: The one who left us 18 months ago<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Source:<\/span><\/strong>Island<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The lady with the dazzling perpetual smile; a smile that came from deep within her.<\/span><\/p>\n

With apologies to that fantastic singer, Engelbert Humperdinck, the lyrics of the song he sang on the demise of his precious wife, are reproduced here as a tribute to my own wife who was taken away from all of us just 18 months ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to say goodbye \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted you for life, you and me, and the wind,<\/span><\/p>\n

I never thought that there\u2019d come a time, that our story would end<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to understand, but I guess I\u2019ll have to try,<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to say goodbye.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For all the joy we shared, all the time we had to spend,<\/span><\/p>\n

If I had one wish, I\u2019d forever back again,<\/span><\/p>\n

To look into your eyes and hold you when you cry,<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to say goodbye.<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember all those great times we had,<\/span><\/p>\n

So many memories, some good, some bad<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, and through it all, those memories will last forever<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s peace in where you are, may be all I need to know<\/span><\/p>\n

And if I listen to my heart, I\u2019ll hear your laughter once more<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I have to say, I\u2019m glad you came my way<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to say goodbye<\/span><\/p>\n

GOODBYE \u2026 IT\u2019S NOT EASY TO SAY GOODBYE.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
