19th September 2026. Hi sweetheart 61 years ago today we went on honeymoon to the Isle of Man. We stayed at Auntie Annie's caravan on our wedding night and then drove to Blackpool airport to get our flight. Staying at the Windsor hotel in Douglas on the promenade. There was a group of pensioners Staying there as well. Can you remember how noisy they were. We went back to the same hotel ten years later for our tenth wedding anniversary and your Mum and Dad looked after Simon and Samantha. It is nice to look back on the things we did together and remember being together. Miss you my love. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

18th September 2026. Hi my darling, today would have been our 61st wedding anniversary. 18th of September 1965 we got married at 3pm. At Kirkholt Methodist Church on Daventry Rd. I lost you on 26th October 2019 due toCancer. I lost you and that will always hurt. But before I lost you, I got to love you. And I got to be loved by you. And no matter how much grief I carry, nothing can take away how lucky I was to be able to love and be loved. So even though I still hurt so much I will always be grateful for the life and love we shared. Love you so much my darling. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

31st August 2026. Hi sweetheart, can you remember 25 years ago how excited we both were. It was the day we moved officially into our little bungalow. We had actually had the keys for months before our proper moving date. 31 08 2021. We called it our little Florida villa. At the moment I am at my little caravan and Carly is bringing Archie over for a couple of nights. I think he is back at school next week so it may be his last chance to come. He spends so much time outside and always seems to make friends with someone, bless him. Love you my darling, I feel you are always with me and watching over me. Miss you so much my darling.

14th July 2026 Hi sweetheart, Leslie's birthday today love and as you know it was my birthday two days ago. I got lots of very useful presents which I love. Simon and Helen were here at their caravan and Samantha and Steve came over plus Rosie. We had a look round as it was fold house open day. We bought Samantha a wooden carved owl and a squirrel which were really her Christmas present for last year. She was thrilled to get them both. After that we went to the Elletson Arms for a meal. It was nice for me all being together. Miss you so much my darling, all my love always your loving wife xxx E xxx

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
