Hi Gerry, I am sat thinking about you. I love and miss you so very much. It is so hard to carry on without you. It is hard to fill my days and even more so the evenings. Today I moved the lawn and trimmed the edges, then swept up the leaves. The garden is looking pretty good, but not as good as you kept it. Jamie came over on Tuesday evening and helped me to cover the bar-b-q and dismantle the garden swing. It is the first time I have had the swing out for about 5-6 years. Then I look Di for a long walk. She is getting groomed again later this week as she needs tidying up for the winter. She is well but getting old now. She is 10 years old and missing you like mad. I have recently joined the Swindon Rock Choir for something to do. I am enjoying it, even though I can't sing. I think of you the whole time I am there as it is held in the Covingham Junior school,where you taught every week. My writing group is also going well, I think they enjoyed my effort this month. It is Austyn's 7th birthday tomorrow. He is so like you. He is intelligent ,very funny and loves performing on stage. He can swim like a fish and is a great dancer. Just like you. Sienna is soon to have her 5th birthday. She is a beautiful girl, strong willed, petite and also loves performing. I am mortified that you have missed out on the joy of our 5 grandchildren. They still remember you, and talk about you often with great affection. You would have had the time of your life with them all, and you would all have had so much fun together. You worked so hard all your life ,and we should now be enjoying the luxurious retirement you so deserved and planned for. It was so cruel that you were snatched away from the life you so enjoyed and wanted. I hope you are happy and well wherever you are now. I hope heaven is all its cracked up to be,and is complete utopia. I look out for your signs every day, and always hope to see you in my dreams. You were the man of my dreams and always will be. Cant wait so be reunited with you. I hope you still want me. All my love forever and always, Maggie XxX
