Lit by Maggie 12th April 2020
Hi Gerry, I am going crazy here without you. I love you and miss you so very much. I miss your smiling face, your fun personality and loving arms. Well it is Easter Sunday on April 12th 2020 and we are still in lockdown. I can only go out to walk Di and she does not always feel like a walk these day. I am sure she know that something is very wrong with the world, I have only been able to see the boys and grandchildren on what's app videos calls. It is so lonely not being able to see anyone or have a hug. Darren and Jamie are doing my food shopping for me and making sure I have all in need. It is so strange just seeing them from a distance, as they have to knock the door and leave the shopping in the porch and then stand well away from the house to talk to me. Nobody knows how long this will last as the death toll in nearly 1000 people a day and that is only the recorded deaths in hospitals in the UK. In reality it will be much higher as cancer patients cannot get there treatment or anyone else. Also people are dying in their homes and care homes in droves. This world is truly a gruesome place at the moment and the virus is world wide. It has travelled around the globe at a rate of knots. America is the worst hit as it is so large and Donald Trump the current president is and absolute idiot. The global pandemic has hit around 30000 death so far. At lest the weather is great at the moment, really hot and sunny. The garden is a picture of beauty with all its colourful flowers. The garden is a magnificent blue colour with thousands of forget-me-nots. They are everywhere and lots of love in the mist is about to flower. Thank you so much for planting these for me as I have no other explanation for the wonder display. Unfortunately, the magnolia tree does not seem to have any flowers this year, just leave. I don't know why, maybe they will come later. I guess I will tuck into my Easter eggs later today. I have three, two from Jamie and one from Darren. I will put on some weight with those. Darren has been busy doing garden gigs for his neighbours and raising some well needed cash from donations. Jamie is also busy teaching virtual lesson for BIMM and entertaining his 3 girls. They are at least getting lots of quality time together in the lovely weather. I hope all is well with you and that you are happy, loved, and well. I hope you can do anything your heart desires and that you are as free as a bird. I cant wait to see your butterfly again and to see you in my dreams. I wish with all my heart, body and soul that you were still here. We could be having so much fun together with all this free time, privacy. something we always longed for. By the way I keep hearing strange noises especially at night and often in bed. I hope that means you are nearby, and that you are letting me know that you are near. Until we meet again please always remember that I always have and always will love your forever and always. All my love forever and always, Maggie XxX
