For De’s Prompt on dVerse Poets Pub. I haven’t followed any rules this go around.
Haibun: Shaken, not stirred
“A martini. Shaken, not stirred.” Bond, James Bond
My husband was a James Bond aficionado. He knew everything about him. When he was in hospital dying, his only regret: he would miss the new movie.
He will be watching from heaven when I go – I will be stirred without him by my side.

Oh… I know he will be there with you when you go and see it… and now it’s been delayed…

Yeppers. It has been. But Brad is patient!

If that was his only regret, he was a very happy and contented man. Make sure you take him with you when you see it.
Mar 09, 2020 @ 17:19:54
I will! He was a very brave, quiet, and intellectual man.

My kind of guy. There has been more than 12 Bond films, 6 actors in the role. Daniel Craig does a fine job (this is his fourth film); of corse Sean Connery was/is the definitive Bond.

I didn’t care for Sean Connery because he was a wife beater. He was too macho as well. Pierce Brosnan to me was THE definitive Bond – handsome, elegant, a killer.

What??? Sean Connery was a wife beater? Now I MUST research that!

How poignant…yes, he’ll be watching it too.
Mar 09, 2020 @ 17:38:46
I like how you describe him watching from heaven.
Mar 09, 2020 @ 17:39:38
I hope Brad enjoys the movie. 🙂
Mar 09, 2020 @ 19:33:03
Awww, Toni. I know Brad will be with you as you enjoy the movie. Holding you in my heart.
Mar 09, 2020 @ 21:20:37
Oh, I wish he could have seen it, too. You will be watching it for him. And, likely, with him, because the ways of heaven are pretty cool. Smiles.

😊 yes they are.

Amen to watching with you, even from heaven.
Mar 10, 2020 @ 00:29:06
I cannot imagine this pain. But such brave heart you have.
Mar 10, 2020 @ 07:23:45
Such a sweet sentiment “He will be watching from heaven when I go – I will be stirred without him by my side.”
Mar 10, 2020 @ 08:08:54
Watching and being with you all the time Toni!
Mar 10, 2020 @ 17:38:17
He’ll be right there with you in spirit!

In this crazy world right now, we are all learning to live within our simplistic means within our own homes….with a minimum few. My heart goes out to you Toni….knowing Brad and your mother are with you in spirit but there is still a hollow space that is felt within the body…even when they are with us in our hearts. Thinking of you, toni.

Thank you Lillian. His pic is in my kitchen surrounded by yellow and purple hyacinths. It is as if he were with me. Take care of yourself. Be safe. Practice social isolation and please be careful.
