Hi Gerry,
I am loving and missing you like crazy. It is 4th June 2020. It was Darren's 43 birthday yesterday. I went to see him in the afternoon. As it is still on lock-down I could only sit in the garden 2 meters from everyone. It is not very nice doing this as I have not had a hug from anyone in 3 months. Violet had her first day back at school and was very excited about it. She is the only one of our grandchildren back at school. Sienna is eligible but due to here severe allergies she is staying at home.
We gave Darren some money and as a gift to open, a food hamper. I went out shopping for the first time in 3 months to get his goodies. We got him 2 bottles of port which he apparently loves a tipple of . 5 different cheeses, crackers chilli nuts, a bottle of Irish cream, a tub of salted caramel cookies, and two 21 day rump steaks wit garlic butter. I packed it in a washing up bowl. He loved it. I was thinking of the day he was born and how happy we were.
There is not much newsto tell you as lock-down is still in place, I cannot go out or visit anyone. It is horribly lonely and I get very depressed. I have been keeping the garden up together. There is an abundance of roses this year. They are truly spectacular. Your Gerry Hunt rose has 20 buds at least on it. The most it has ever had by far, it is going to be glorious, just like you, a spectacular sight indeed. I have also been trying to sort out the cupboards and throw things away. I have a big pile of items in the new bedroom ,but cannot take it to a charity shop until they re-open. I have put somethings into charity bags though.
Di is suffering a bit with gungy eyes. I think it is hay fever and pollen related. I have been putting my allergy eye drops into her eyes to help keep them clean. She does not always want to go out for a walk as it has been so very hot. But when she does go out she like to walk in the stream, have a good paddle and a very large drink. She is generally happy and in good health. A beautiful friend and companion to me, you trained her so well. She does enjoy lots of treats in the evenings, I guess I spoil her, but she deserves it and does not over eat.
Nobody know how this corona virus situation with end. It is still world wide and the death toll is still massively high. Well over 50,000 deaths in the UK and nearly half a million world wide. You must be getting over overcrowded in your wold.
I hope you are happy, free, loved and well. I hope heaven is all you would like it to be. I see you in my drams quite often and it is a joy. I also hear your voice every day from the recording in your teddy bear, made from your favorite cardigan. I sadly have not seen your butterfly for a very long time now. I do hope it will return and sit with me again, I feel so close to you when it is with me. I like to talk to it and it usually stays for hours, giving me comfort, hopomg that it is you coming home to visit me.
Until we meet again, please always remember, that I always have and always will love you forever and always. Your are always in my thoughts and heart.
Can't wait to be in your arms again.
All my love forever and always,
Maggie XxX
