Hi Gerry, just thought I would let you know it was Jamie's 39th birthday today. I have been thinking of the day he was born. You were running a health & Safety course in Old Town that day. I had to ring to say I was in labou,r so that you could come home. You took me to the RAF hospital and then dropped Darren off at my parents so that you could be with me. Unfortunately, you were not aloud in for the birth as it was a vontous delivery. I remember your face as you came in after the birth. You were crying and said how happy and proud you were of me and our beautiful new son.
I wish I could put the clock back to those magical days, we were so happy, together with our family of two fabulous sons.
We went to a new pub next to Morrison's alongside the canal at Whichelstow, the new estate in Wroughton. Jamie and his family and Darren and has family. It was a lovely place and the food was fabulous, a bit pricey but very atmospheric. We had a bottle of bubbly, and Jamie's girls made him a birthday cake There was a canal boat built inside the restaurant, and lots of canal art adorned the place. You would have loved it. The canal art was not a patch on yours. It was very basic and did not have the depth or detail that your had, if fact it was very inferior to your work. We bought Jamie an electric drill, some stickers for his guitar rig and some chocolates.
I have been very sad lately and keep crying as I miss you so very much, and wish you were still here. I am very angry and bitter because of what happened to you and all the suffering you endured. You did not deserve any of that. You deserve to be here having a wonderful luxurious retirement, enjoying our grandchildren and having a ball.
I have finally got the leak from the boiler fixed. It was a complete nightmare. We finally found the leak which was behind the cooker. It was a hell of a job to get fixed. Nobody wanted the job as it was almost impossible to access. I got a young man called Sean, who was tall, thin and flexible. Darren and Jamie took out the oven and had to cut a hole in the plasterboard for access to the pipes Sean had to crawl up inside the gap behind the granite which was a very small tight gap. I thought it would be impossible to access, but he managed it. Apparently the original brass pipe had a join in it which had pulled apart. This meant that all the water that was put into the boiler just poured out down the back of the cooker.
Life is so lonely without you, and I hate every minute. I wish we could communicate so that I could say all I need to you. I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. I hope you are happy and well and that you can so anything your heart desires. Hopefully we will meet again in my dreams while I sleep.
Until we meet again always remember I love you, with all my heart, body and soul. You were the best, husband, lover, soul-mate and best friend I could ever have wished for. You fulfilled all my dreams. I just never imagined that you could be taken from me, I thought we would grow old together.
All my love forever and always,. Maggie XxX
