“Today this is me…..Staring at the door and waiting… waiting for you, my baby.”

Unlike the famous phrase, time is not healing Adrienne’s broken heart.

She continued: “My heart breaks a little more every day with the realisation that you are not coming home….and that the time and distance between us is growing….and knowing that I will spend my whole life waiting for you.

She added: “I am surrounded by friends and family and love, and while I’m not alone, I have never in my life felt so lonely. The only person I want more than anything is my human – You.
