We could never find old images of ourselves because we didn't have digital. Here's me 1965

66 I am now, as you would have been today.
I miss you every day.
My life has become one of chronic pain and illness.
I have no joy in my life.
It can not be long now before I join you.
Goodnight Wendy. xxx

Hello my love.
65th birthday ! Wow !
13 days ago, I had that age too.
We should have celebrated our 65th's together but the universe said "no".
I miss you so much, every day. You Crazy diamond. Xxxx

"Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Come on you painter,
You piper, you prisoner, and shine!"

toujours là, toujours à toi. Michael.

Another year gone by my love.
It is now 64 years since you brought your light and your love into this world.
I was here 13 days before you but it took 13 years for us to find each other after that.
It feels so strange that I'm still here.
You kept me young, you promised I would always be Peter to your Wendy as long as you lived.
You were right, I was 'forever young' until you left.
You would not see me now, I have aged 30 years over the 14 years your light last shined.
As a reminder of our 1973 'meeting of eyes' in Mrs Dunn's class, here's a few lines we spoke when we read to each other from Shaw's play.
RICHARD. Do you know what they call me, Essie?
ESSIE. Dick.
RICHARD. Yes, Dick; but something else too. They call me the Devil's Disciple.
ESSIE. Oh, Dick!
RICHARD Now, now: come, come! I don't mind being hanged; but I will not be cried over.
ESSIE. No, I promise. I'll be good.
You were the light that shone so bright in my life.
So from one of our favourite songs I say to you my love.........
"Shine on you crazy diamond" x
