Hi Gerry,
I love and miss you so very much. It is the 17th January and it is very cold.
Last Saturday I went to the Arts Centre to see Isabelle performing in her Performing arts school show. She was mind blowing. She sang a solo of a Million Dreams from the Greatest Showman. She sang so beautifully, clear loud and very professional. The audience erupted when she launched into the chorus. They gasped, shouted wow and we utterly amazed. She stole the show. Both me and her Granddad John were crying all through her performance. The whole auditorium were crying. Apparently on their next show little Genevieve is going to sing a solo performance. She is only 5. I hope you were there to watch them and feel so very proud.
Then on Sunday I went to the Wyvern Theatre to watch Austyn and Violet in their performing arts show We Will Rock you. That was fantastic. Both Austyn and Violet are amazing performers too. I hope you were there to watch them.
All our grandkids are following in your footsteps and have acquired your talents and performing skills. They are definitely chips of the old block, its in the Genes.
On Saturday I stupidly parked in a disabled spot. I did not see the markings on the pavement or the sign which was obscured by lots of people queuing to pay at the machine. I was mortified to find a parking fine of £35.00 on the windscreen. Jamie is going to help me contest this with an e-mail and photos of the very faded marking on the pavement, which I did not see in the dark. I don't expect I will win the case, but its surely worth a try. Maybe you can help me with this.
Di is doing fine, she went out for another walk again today.
I had a fright with our car last Thursday. I was going to take it for a run down the motorway to get the emissions down due to lack of driving before its MOT on the Friday. Unfortunately, it would not start. All the light on the dashboard were flashing and I was scared. I rang the garage and explained and they said it was probably a flat battery. I rang Darren to see if he could jump start me to get me to the garage. He came out but it would not start. So we had to arrange to tow it in the following morning. He did this and it took ages to get the tow rope fitted securely. Then the nightmare began. I did not realise that the ignition had to be switched on to steer it. When Darren pulled away the car swung and we almost hit into the brick wall by the stream in Flanders garden. Fortunately, Darren spotted this in time and turned the key for me. Then we set off. I was truly scared and kept praying to you and begging for your help, support and guidance. Darren seamed to be going too fast for me. It did not help that the windscreen was wet after a frosty night and having to pour water over it. Also the sun was streaming in and blinding me. We travelled along Swindon road and turned into Wichelstow at the traffic lights, when the tow rope snapped. Luckily there were no other cars on the road. Darren reattached the rope and we successfully and slowly managed to ge6t to the garage. I was so very relieved we both arrive in one piece. It turned out to be a flat battery. It was amazingly the original battery, which needed to be replaced. It passed the MOT and had its service. Thank you so much for your input. I had prayed to you that it would only be a flat battery. You are so amazing at looking after me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you still do for me on a daily basis. I can't see you, touch you, hear you, but I know for certain that you are with me and beside me always.
I wish with all my heart, body and soul that you were still here with me . I hope you are having a wonderful knew life in heaven. I can't wait to see you as my red admiral butterfly again. I hope to see in my dreams soon. I hope to get on the same spiritual plane as you so that we can make mad passionate love again.
Until we meet again, please always remember, that I always have, and always will, love you forever and always. I cant wait to be in your loving arms again.
All my love forever and always.
