27th June 2026 hi sweetheart, Harrison is 19 today love. Can you believe it. I would love to see more of him. But at least I do get to see him when it is convenient for me. We only spend about an hour together but it is better than it was for such a long time. He still appears to be the sweet boy we use to spend time with and take on holiday. He loved spending time at the caravan with us and you taking him to the park which became known as Harrisons park with Rosie and Lacey. Would love to have those days back love. Sending you all my love always sweetheart. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

Sunday 21st June 2026. Happy heavenly Fathers day love. It would have been nice if I could have taken you a coffee in bed and made you a nice breakfast love. You weren't only one of the best but THE BEST. Always putting family first. I can remember asking you what you wanted for your 70th birthday. You took a couple of days to think about it then told me you wanted to take the family on holiday to Bulgaria. It did come as a bit of a shock when I thought about it but we did it. I think there was seven of us altogether. I have been watching some of the videos we took and it really makes me smile when I see Rosie and Lacey dancing at the side of the swimming pool. Please give my love to my Dad. Love and miss you so much my darling. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

19th June, 2026. Hi sweetheart, another birthday today love, Riley is 14. I saw him on Saturday at Rosies meal but he never makes any effort to see either me or Simon. I just put him £20 00p in his birthday card. Normally we would buy him some bits to go with it but I didn't do this time. I have started to think that if he can't make the effort then I am not going to now. It may sound a bit childish but I really can't be bothered these days. It is hard enough just going about my daily routine with all the aches and pains I have without me worrying about someone who obviously doesn't care about me. The same with Lauren who I only ever see if she has been invited for a meal out. Jamie messaged me yesterday to show me he had put your obituary folder in a frame and put it up on his wall. What a nice thing to do. I love you my darling always. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

15th June 2026 hi sweetheart I forgot to tell you it was Jamie's birthday yesterday. How could I have forgotten our favourite grandsons birthday. He is 34 now. I haven't met her but he seems to have a lovely girlfriend. Just hope it lasts and he has found someone who will treat him as he deserves. Hopefully they are right for each other but it is very early days yet. Love you so much my darling. My love forever and always. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

13th June 2026 hi love, I forgot to mention that it is Simon and Helen's 13th wedding anniversary today as well. I think because of all the excitement of Rosies 18th I forgot to tell you. Everything went well tonight and I really enjoyed it, the younger ones were all going out after the meal into Lytham I think. But Samantha and I came straight back home after the meal. Love you sweet. All my love always your loving wife xxx E xxx

13th June 2026. Hi sweetheart, our little Rosebuds 18th birthday today. Can you remember when she was born. Oh love she is so beautiful, clever, and caring she really is a credit to Simon and Helen. Tonight we are going to Tiggies in St Anne's to celebrate. Can you remember we use to go there when Simon and Samantha were younger. I think it was a open kitchen and you could see the chefs cooking your meal. I so wish you could be there with us love, but I know you will be there in spirit. I love and miss you so much my darling.

2nd June 2026. Hi sweetheart, your Dad's birthday today. Wonder what you will all be doing. Also it is seven years today since you went into hospital for the first time. Simon and Helen were in Florida with Rosie and Jamie. We didn't want to tell them so it did not spoil their holiday, but Simon had guessed something was wrong so we ended up telling them. Oh sweetheart I miss you so much love. I think the little caravan we got last year has kept me sane. I really love it there. I came home on Sunday after having 18 nights there. The down side is the garden is so overgrown, but I have asked Jamie if he will come and sort it out for me. So hopefully he is coming on Friday. I love you my darling husband.

27th May 2026 hi sweetheart, 46 years today since your lovely Mum died. You went over to see her in hospital but you were too late. I can remember telling Simon and Samantha the following morning about their Grandma. Hope you all have a lovely day together remembering Anniversary's. I think all she wanted was to be with your Dad. Love you so much my love. Your loving wife xxx E xxx
