Dearest Delia, loving Sweetheart of mine, today would have been your 76th birthday. I am thinking of you as always -particularly, how good life was when you were there at my side and wishing we could turn the clock back!.Not for just today, but for always. I miss you so very, very, much. My life with you was perfect.You were taken far too early in your life and you certainly didn't deserve to have been chosen. you were such a loving, sweet lady who never did anyone any harm - quite the reverse in fact - and I miss you dearly despite the many years that have now passed. During the last five years, I have been so very lucky to have Pat in my life. Like you, she was a lovely lady and we were very good friends, supported one another, and enjoyed some really good and happy times together.Unfortunately Pat developed breast cancer in August 2020 and despite the very best endeavours of the hospital, she passed away on the 1st May. Very sadly, I've now lost another lovely person from my life who, like you, did not deserve to lose her life - she was just 72. I am devastated. My life is so empty again, and I don't have that sense of purpose that I used to have when you were alive and which I regained during the last five years with Pat here. But, today, I am thinking especially of you on your birthday - my life with you was perfect - and I know I should have you that told you so much more often when you were alive! But, it really was so good sharing life with you, and I loved you so much more than any words could ever say. You were such a really thoughtful kind person. I'm trying to keep strong, but it's difficult to accept, and to adjust to the loneliness of being on my own again. With you here, as with Pat, there was an underlying comfort and strength that supported me. I keep thinking of you, how lovely you were, how good we were together, in the years now passed, and I hope time will heal the wounds that I have. But the time we had together was special, very special indeed, and we have four lovely children and seven grandchildren to prove it. I just wish you you could be back here with me and somehow, magically, we could reverse what's happened. and be that happy married couple once more, living life as we did! Remembering you, not just today , but always. My lovely, darling Delia, you remain forever in my thoughts and in my heart. Yours ever Ron xxxxxx
