Hi Gerry,
I love and miss you so very much.
It's 8 years today that we had your funeral. i am thinking of that day and you so very much today. It was a lovely heartfelt service and I hope we did you proud.
It is still so very painful being here without you. I wish with all my heart, body and soul that you were still here where you deserve and belong to be. We had so much left to do and see and you were always the most wonderful person in the world.
Thank you for coming back to me as your beautiful Red Admiral butterfly. It makes my heart swell with love pride admiration and gratitude to you. I m so pleased that you want to come back and be with me and to give me the comfort and knowledge that you are alive and flying free.
I have just spent the afternoon at the new Deanery to watch Austyn and Violet performing in there Drama School. It was an amazing show, and Austyn smashed his performance and solo speech. Violet was awesome in her dance and and singing parts. She was in lots of acts doing ballet, tap, singing and dancing and she did a duet dance as well in the Lion King. I was also shocked and thrilled to see Jamie and his family come to watch the show. Jamie presented Violet with a bouquet of pink roses and Austyn a pop it game, after the show. It was a great afternoon.
Di is doing well, but she is not eating very much at the moment. I am worried that she is getting to thin and weak, but she is 14 now, which is quite an achievement for a Golden Retriever.
The weather had cooled down a bit now but it did break all records for heat during the week. It reached 40 degrees. It is due to get just as hot again next week.
The solar panels are doing quite well now. The income will be lower now as one panels has been disconnected due to damage as I have previously told you. Also I am a bit worried as the SSE are moving me to OVO and i don't know if the terms and conditions will remain the same . They should do but I am nervous that things wont go right.
I don't have much more to report now. My cholesterol levels are a bit high now. I am trying to get them down with diet so that I don't have to go on statins.
I did meet up with Carol Bellingham on Thursday for coffee and cake at the hall and Woodhouse, and we sat outside by the lake. It was very pleasant and you would love it there. Carol was all doom and gloom again. Fretting about her looks and getting old. She will be 70 next month. She is obsessed to the point of extreme and will drive herself mad soon if she carries on like that.
I hope all is well with you in your world. I hope you are having fun and lots of exciting this to do.
I can't wait to be in your loving arms again.
Until we meet again, please always remember that I always have, and always will, love you forever and always.
All my love forever and always,
Maggie XxX
