Hi Gerry,
I thought I would light you a Christmas candle to let you know I am thinking of you. I love and miss you so very much.
Yesterday I performed at the new Deanery in Wichelstow with the Rock Choir. It was our big annual fundraiser for the NSPCC. It was amazing. There were 200 of us and it took 45 minutes to work out how to fit us all on the stage. It was very cramped, and it was difficult to do all the movements. The show went well. Jamie was also performing, backing us on several songs. He also backed the male section when they did Satisfaction and Born to be Wild. Then he played an amazing solo spot doing a Christmas medley. I was centre stage on the third row which was the first elevated row and was very visible. Most unlike me, but I hope you were able to watch. Lindsay and the girls came, but they had to leave early as the girls were due at an award ceremony. Isabelle won miniette of the year and Sienna and Genevieve got special awards. A very successful evening all round.
Next Saturday I am performing at the Marlborough college. This will just be a fun Christmas set.
Today I went to Whitehall garden centre with Darren, Kelly, Austyn and Violet. We had a great day out. The displays are magical. We go every year at Christmas. We did not book to see Santa this year as I think they have outgrown this particular venue and they have been several years now. Also, it is so very expensive. Darren bought me two baubles for the tree with robins on. For part of my Christmas present. They are in your memory. I also bought a red bauble with a stag on it. I am not sure if I will put up and decorations or the tree again this year. It feels so very wrong and pointless without you. You loved the house when decorated, and our lovely tree which we always made love under. I am not sure if I can cope with the flood of wonderful memories. Besides there is only me and Di. Nobody comes to visit me.
Di was a bit poorly last week. I found blood in her urine when she peed on the bathroom floor. I took her to the vets immediately as I know you would want her cared for. She is better now and was prescribed treatment for a urine infection which she seems to get once a year now, during the winter months. It cost almost £106, but I know you would want me to act quickly to protect her.
I hope you are ok. I wish I knew where you are and what is happening in your life now. I wish we could communicate easier. I know you butterfly with be hibernating now, so maybe I can see you in my dreams again soon. It is always wonderful when we are together again. It feels so real and I am convinced we really are together.
All my love forever and always,
Maggie XxX
