Hi Gerry, I love and miss you so very much. It is 51 years tonight that we first met. I remember it like it was yesterday. You asked me to dance and then asked if you cold take me home. We stopped at the Bell for a drink. You parked in a large puddle and I got my feet soaking wet when I got out of the car. We had a drink, you had a bear and I had a bitter lemon. We talked and talked as if we had know each other for years. Then you took me home. You were a perfect gentleman and opening the car door for me whenever I got in or out. You asked to see me again and I could not see you for a fair few days. It did not take me long to fall madly in love with you. You were so exciting, funny and so very romantic and passionate. You were a refreshing change from all the other guys I had met. The rest of course is history. I am so very glad I met you and married you. You have always been, and always will be the LOVE OF MY LIFE. There is not much new to tell you except that Isabelle, Sienna and Genevieve have all had Covid. Fortunately, they were not too unwell with it. Now poor Jamie has it, I think he is suffering a bit. Please look over him and help him to recover soon. I forgot to tell you that poor Brent passed away on the 29th December. He has just reached his 70th birthday on the 25th. He was in Prospect and alone when it happened. He is not having a funeral. He had opted for the simple cremation, where there is not service and the ashes are just returned to Kelly. He will then be interned into the double plot that he bought when Elizabeth died. Then we will all gather in the Windmill for a farewell drink and to remember him. I don't have much more to tell you at the moment. It is still very cold, and wintry. The evening are starting to get a it longer but not much. It is light until 5 pm now. The solar panels are coming on most morning by themselves now. It must be to do with temperature. Thank you for all you input. Di is still doing very well. She likes to go out for a walk most days now. We still only go around the shops in St John's Road, but she runs and skips along. In the warmer weather I will make her walks longer and more frequent to build up her strength and muscles. I am looking forward to be able to take her to the groomers and get her bathed and groomed. Thank you so very much for all the hard work you have input into getting her back on her feet and doing so well again. It had to be your divine intervention for this to happen, as there is no other explanation for her miracle turnaround. You are truly a miracle. I can't wait to see your butterfly again this year. I miss you so very much. It is another miracle you constantly produce in order to let me know that there is another life. You are alive, well, flying free and beautiful and artistic and creative as ever. To come home and sit with me and give me comfort, love and conformation of your love and existence is tremendous. We can send and transmit all our emotions and love to each other and give each other ideas and wonderful memories to relive togehter. You are still the love of my life and all I ever thing about and want is you. I cant wait to be in your loving arms again. Until we meet again, I hope you are having fun, doing all the things you always wanted to do. I hope you have lots of friends, family , musicians , artists and you other special friends to enjoy yourself with. Keep playing those drums and have a wonderful time until i come to be with you forever and always. Please always remember that I always have, and always will, love you forever and always. All my love forever and always, Maggie XxX
