Apart from tossing my hand aside occasionally, Anthony would often come out with the most extraordinarily apt one-liners.
I found some of my scribbled renditions of these today when Meg (my mother) helped me sort through a few boxes of mixed up paperwork – everything from tax receipts to sympathy cards to my scribbles. One of the jobs I had been avoiding was to ring the ambulance people to get a refund on the ambulance ride to the hospital from the nursing home, and the ride back. The ambulance woman on the other end of the phone promised a refund after establishing that Ants had died. Her voice softened and she offered her condolences. This made me cry, of course and, if Meg hadn’t been here, I would have given up on the rest of the paperwork.
Anyway, in amongst my scribbled notes, I found a gem:
Me: Are you okay, Ants?
Anthony: I’ve been having an argument with my ego, Jules.

a gem 🙂
That’s a classic xxxx
Priceless 🙂
I think he was on a plane much more advanced than where we are.
Wow, Anthony has all the talents of a stand up comic! In heaven, he probably has everyone rolling with laughter.
What a wit he was!
so perfect.
Well done for sorting the paperwork. I am glad that it produced such a fine remark.
I used to think you were just a brilliant writer; but now I realize you had an extraordinary mind feeding you material. What an amazing partner he was! You are a fortunate woman to have recognized what a great match he was for you when you were just a young girl and then to have enjoyed his love for so many years.
And this is why I miss him so much – so much
This made me smile
Egoes are like that:) A great line!
