I visited Gary's grave today and laid a fresh bunch of orchids. Tidied up his grave and had my usual chat with him, letting him know how I am and getting on in life and keeping well.

I was in Lanark today taking Patsy our dog for a walk around Lanark Loch. I passed by Park Drive and it brought b ack memories of the first time Gary took me to introduce me to his mother, sister and brother in law. It was December 1999. I remember his sister had a black Labrador. It new Gary as it was happy to see him and it jumped up banging poor Gary on the nose, which began to bleed. Gary had a week spot on the bridge of his nose from a previous injury in the past. We stayed for a short while. Gary seemed so pleased he had introduced me to his family. My how time flies I remember it like it was yesterday. Every time I go through to Lanark I think of Gary and his mother. Gary's mother lived in Lanark as well and the times we visited her. I got on really well with his mother and it was obvious to me that she loved her son Gary. More happy memories of my life with Gary.

I visited Gary's grave in Bent cemetery Hamilton today. I laid a fresh bunch of Tulips and a wreath. I said a little prayer in memory of Gary and the wonderful life we shared together for 17 years. I keep a photograph of Gary and I in my computer room and I look at it daily. He looks so happy in this photo, it was one of the times we were on holiday. Gary loved his holidays. He was a hard worker all year round and when we could afford to take a holiday he took time to totally relax when he was abroad. More happy memories of my life with Gary. I visit Gary's grave on a fairly regular basis. It allows me the opportunity to let Gary know that he is never far from my heart or forgotten.

Alas yet another new year is upon us. I met Gary in June May 1999, sounds a long time ago to some people, my doesn't time fly. That was the first new year I shared with Gary. I still have the champagne glass, dated 2000 that Gary's sister and brother in law presented to us just before new years night.

As Christmas draws near I remember the Christmases of past. Gary and I would always sit up late on the 24th December until after midnight. I was always the first to suggest we open a Christmas present. I always encouraged Gary to open one of his first. I just adored the happiness on his face when he found out what I had bought him. Even though Gary is not with me in body anymore he is always with me in spirit and in my heart. I still wait up until after midnight on the 24th December and take comfort in remembering all the loving Christmases Gary and I spent together.

I visited Gary's grave in Hamilton today. I laid a lovely Christmas wreath and a fresh bunch of flowers. It is my way of letting Gary know that he is still thought of constantly, never forgotten, missed greatly and still loved. I did my usual by talking to him and letting him know how I am. Whilst I was there I place flowers on his parents grave. I always got on with Gary's mother so well. Later in the week I will visit my parents grave in Glasgow and lay a Christmas wreath on their grave to let them know they are not forgotten.

Today I am going out to buy a Christmas wreath to place on Gary's grave. I always do this at Christmas time. I will also place a bunch of flowers on his parents grave as their graves are not far apart from each other. Gary and I always spent Christmas together, just the two of us. He made a fantastic Christmas dinner. A time of year I miss him enormously. However I have beautiful and happy memories of us at Christmas time in my heart.

Today I was working in Hamilton. Every time I visit Hamilton I think of Gary. Gary being born and bred there. I remember Gary telling me where he was born and brought up. A place called Laighstonehall, the school he went to, Hamilton Grammar and Gary being Gary his local pub that he on occasions visited and had a pint of Cider. I do remember when I first met Gary he took me to his local pub as I recall it was called the Woodside Bar. It is described as a very traditional bar where people can watch sports and/or have a conversation. To me a mans pub, (Sorry for sounding old fashioned) that was Gary to a 'tee'. He loved Rugby and I am sure if they were not showing it on the T.V Gary would ask them to change the channel so as he could watch it. He did the same in our local in Carluke. Gary would discuss with me his early life, the trials and tribulations that a good majority of us experience in life. I have many memories of Gary and our life together.

I visited Gary's grave today and laid a dozen fresh Roses on his grave. As I always do when visiting his grave I let him know how I was getting on. I informed him that our friends in Carluke took me out for lunch on my birthday 5th November, we had a lovely meal and I was given a present as well. I know Gary would be glad that our friends have remained friends with me. I also visited his parents grave, which is not far from Gary's grave.

Today is my birthday. Gary always sent me beautiful worded birthday cards and flowers on my birthday. I still have all those birthday cards he sent me over the years. I must be a bit sentimental. Two of the holidays that Gary arranged as a birthday surprise that stands out from all the other holidays that we went on, was when we went to Paris and our first cruise. The sightseeing in Paris was a sight to behold. Most people would not have thought of Gary as a romantic but he was. More happy memories I hold dearly in my heart of our life together.
