Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary My Darling Gerry, Its 50 years ago today we walked down the aisle and said I DO! That was the happiest day of my life the day I became your wife. You have always been the love of my life, the man of my dreams, my best friend, lover, and soul mate and now my husband. I have been thinking about you and our wedding day all day and will be thinking of our wedding night tonight. Oh how I love and miss yo so very much. You have always been the most wonderful husband in the world, kind, loving protective, generous, understanding, forgiving, happy, bubbly , vivacious, funny, cheeky. lovable, artistic, creative, musical, inventive and full of surprised. I cannot fault you in any way as you have always been my master, Rock God, love God, my strength, courage, protection, security, happiness, fun, excitement, giving me courage and confidence, endless patience and you were always full of surprises, spoiling me rotten all the time. You were also the best Father and Grandfather in the world. You created and raised the two most wonderful sons. You gave them everything you had as you did me. Your time, money, patients, full attention, security, guidance, protection, and created the family band which was phenomenal talent and entertainment. You always had time for us and even went to London and back twice every weekend for around 8 years so that the boys could gig with the band at weekends. Our holidays were amazing and we travelled extensively around the world. Birthday, Christmases' and Holiday were the highlights of our years and you always made them so magical and special and we all remember them with pride and love. I have been reflecting on our happy life together and reliving the memories. You built us our dream home and garden working tirelessly over the years, to create our dream home and garden with all your hard work and creativity making our home truly unique and bespoke. We all love and miss you so very much. We see you everywhere and in everything, with love and i can feel your love around me in our home. I miss our family band so much and we all are devastated that you are no hear to continue it. I miss our holidays and days out. I miss everything about you and our life together. Oh how I wish we could make mad passionate love tonight and recreate our wedding night. Both Darren and Jamie visited today. Darren brought us a card and a bouquet of flowers. Jamie brought a card and a bottle of red wine and four cans of sparkling wine. I got you a lovely card, send you up a red balloon with my heartfelt message, 12 red roses, 15 yellow roses, a 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary rose bush, and a 50th Golden Wedding floribunda rose bush (both have yellow flowers). I have not planted the rose bushes yet as the ground it too hard due to lack of rainfall. Di will be15 on Saturday. She is getting frailer now. She sleeps most of the time, eats quite well as long as its chicken portions. She is rejecting a lot of her treats now. She seems quite content though. I have some sad new. Chris's son Karl passed away on Wednesday night. He is only just over 50 i think, maybe 52. He recently had a heart attack, went into hospital and had stents fitted. Whilst at home recovering well he had a massive cardiac arrest. His wife and daughters had to give him CPR under the instruction via phone my medical staff, while waiting for the ambulance. When in hospital he was put into and induced coma to give him recovery time. When he was brought out of the coma his eyes opened, nut that was it. They waited 24 hours to see if there was any improvement but there was one. His life support machine was switched off and he is now in heaven with you, as he had been without oxygen for over 20 minutes and was brain dead. I hope all is well with you in your world, and that you are having a fantastic new life, doing everything your heart desires and only what your heart desires. I hope you are able to celebrate along with me and maybe have a party with all our family members that are in heaven with you. I don't have much more to say now, so 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. Until we meet again please be happy and remember I love you. THANK YOU FOR BEING THE WONDERFUL PERSON YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE. I TREASURE EVERY MOMENT WE SPENT TOGETHER. All my love forever and always, Maggie XxX
