Hi Gerry, I love and miss yo so very much. I miss you with every breath i take, every beat of my heart and you live in my heart mind and soul forever and always. Austyn and Isabelle have now started at senior school. They are both going to the same school LPA. They are growing up fast, where has the time gone. The sun has finally come out after a long miserable summer. Cold, wet and cloudy. We need to get some sun as our solar panels are currently way behind the usual reading. Sienna came for a sleepover with Jamie the week before last. She came to do my make up as she wants to practice on me me. She is hoping to be a makeup artist for shows and theatres when she grown up. She di an amazing job on me. She made me up in the evening and then again the next day. She is really good and taught me a lot about applying make up. You would have loved watching her. We also watched our Disney video's from when we went there and Jamie and Darren were kids. We had an amazing time together. It was wonderful to see you so happy, young and having a wonderful time with us all. I had a scare yesterday, I rang the doctors to make and appointment as i have been waking up for several week during the night with headaches and they are still there in the morning. I expected to get a phone consultation in about three weeks time. I was shocked to be asked to go in that morning. Even more shocked when the doctor told me to go straight to the hospital emergency department. Darren took me and we were there 5 hours. Darren had to go as he had a gig and Jamie came and took me home. I had lots of tests and blood tests and even a ct head scan. All tests were negative which was a relief. Di is still here. Its nothing short of a miracle that she is here. I know you are looking after her, and we are both truly grateful. She still has accidents at night and sometimes during the day. Her eyes are still bad but her appetite has improved along with her strength. She is now fully back on dog food. I am trying to decorate the little bedroom (your office). It has appeared so dark in there recently . I remember you saying it was time to take of the guitar freeze. I started to do this but discovered that the wallpaper underneath does not go up to the ceiling. Fortunately, I found some offcuts in the loft. Jamie is going to come over on Monday to patch it up. Then I am going to paint over the wall to brighten it u p and hide any tears and scuffs. I have removed your teaching chart, year planner and your notice board along with the two speaker rails. I hope you do not mind but it has tidied the office up a lot. I am also going to buy a new light carpet as the current one is rucked up and looking a bit dull now, Unfortunalty I cannot contact Jonathan Stinson as the number I have does not get any answers. He has also been removed from Facebook. I have asked Nick if he can find out from Amanda for me. I have also got a quote from a local supplier and fitter. He does not sell the carpet that i wanted as i wanted to get the same one as the back bedroom. I seemed doomed with every attempt I make with this project. I have exchanged the paint several times and I have to change it again to the first one I chose. I am upset because I have not seen your butterfly for over 3 weeks now. You were coming everyday and then suddenly stopped coming. I hope I have not upset you and that you will be coming back to me. Hope you are ok and that nothing bad has happened to you. I love to see you and to know that you are ok and that you still love me as I do you. I will keep you updated on all our daily lives again soon. 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
