Birthday
Today would have been your Birthday I cannot send you a card or buy you a present but my thoughts are of you today and every day. Jean xx
anniversary
It will be 2 years on Friday since you were taken from us its been like a life time but I am getting there.Still can see you about but am so glad that your suffering is over. Hope you are looking after our Leo I know you loved him to bits. xx
If I could talk to you I could tell you what is happening in my life but I expect you can see. I take each day as it comes I have some good friends the family dont seem to care very much but they have got their own lives to live.Nearly two years since you left us seems a lifetime. Glad you are not suffering any more. Thinking of you.x
Christmas
This was our second Christmas without you and Leo its not the same any more.Maxine and I were not well so did not enjoy it . I am back home now and getting ready to go to Bert's for his funeral another very sad day in my life. Hope you are all together and watching over us we miss you so much. We start another New year on Saturday wondering what this year is going to bring surely it cannot get much worse. One good thing has come out of this year is I have met some good friends and we look out for one another.
Christmas
Nearly Christmas and its going to be a very lonely time.I will spend the day with Maxine and the children. Well Bert died during the night so is now going to join you and Leo so I have only got the children left now.He had suffered enough like you so will be at peace now.x
another month
Another couple of months have gone by and as you know I have been trying to make a life for myself have made some new friends one in particular I dont know whether you would approve or not but life has to go on and I am hopeless on my own. Watch over us all Jamie is alright for now Maxine is coping by working and running Cara has just started college things look brighter for her, and Gary has just returned from Bulgaria he is ok.Take care of our Leo.x
Another month
Another month gone by and instead of getting easier its getting harder to function. You probably know I have been trying to make a life for myself but its not easy people let you down so badly.So many jobs need doing and I cannot cope. Wish you were here.Every one I get close to seems to be taken away or goes away. Look out for Leo xxx
Birthday
Cannot wish you a happy Birthday but I hope you are happy where you are free from pain and suffering. Thinking of you today and every day.My love as allways. Jean xx
Anniversary
A year ago I watched you slip away and then our Leo joined you. Hope you are looking after each other . Still miss you but I have to make some kind of life I dont expect you approve but I think you would want me to be happy as that is all you ever wanted I did appreciate that. R.I.P Jean
For You
Thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have is memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake with which I 'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart. Love you for ever
