Hi Gerry, I am missing you so very much at the moment. I miss you with every beat of my heart and every breath I take. It is agony waking up every morning having to face another day without you. I miss your smiling face and your love and laughter. You were always such a happy positive man. I also fid it difficult to get to sleep at night because I am constantly thinking of you. It is especially difficult at the moment because it is getting close to our 46th wedding anniversary and also the anniversary of losing you. Oh how I wish I could put the clock back and have you here again. Happy, healthy and full of life. There has been quite a lot happening in our family lately. I have already told you about Isabelle having her hair cut off . She wants to give a little girl who is going through cancer and chemotherapy a hand made wig of her hair so that she will look pretty again. I know you will be so very proud of her. She has raised nearly £400 toward it already. She is having it cut on Tuesday. She has appeared with Jamie in the Evening Advertiser and been on Wiltshire radio. I went to see her at the Wyvern on Tuesday in her drama group show. She was amazing with her dancing. I will be going to see Austyn and Violet at the Wyvern soon to see there dram group show. Yesterday was Genevieve's 3rd birthday. She is such a pretty little dot. She reminds me of you so very much. She had a family party at their house. It was great fun. All our grandchildren are growing up so fast. We are all mortified that you are not here to be with them. They would have blossomed under your guidance with the arts and crafts they take part in. You would have all has so much fun together. They are certainly missing out on a lot without you. Darren has now finished his 4 gigs at the Cricket World cup. He loved every minute of it. He has been given a cricket bat guitar as a memento of the occasion. He was particularly thrilled to be under the middle of a spectacular rainbow arch when he finished his last performance. He said he had tears in his eyes when he looked up at it and said Thank you Dad. He knew was confirmation that you saw him and are very proud of him. He has also been in the Evening Advertiser and on Wiltshire radio recently. So both our sons have been in the local news. I am going to perform with the Swindon Rock Choir next Friday evening at the Minety music festival. Oh do hope you will be watching. I am very nervous as I have not got all the words to the new songs in my head yet. We only finished learning it last night. Darren and Jamie said they would come and watch. I have not got much else to say now so I will shut up and contact you again very soon. I hope to see your butterfly again soon and would love it if you would visit me in my dreams. I look for you every where and you are always in my thoughts. I hope all is well with you and that you are having some amazing experiences. The sun is shining at the moment so I will go outside and see if your butterfly is here. Please always remember that I always have and always mill love you. Until we meet again. All my love forever and always Maggie XxX
