13th December 2025. Well love another birthday today. Lauren is 31. We gave her some money and text her earlier today. Wished we saw more of her but like the others she will be busy with work and looking after Riley. Love you my sweetheart. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

6th December 2025. Hi darling, today is Lacey Lavinia Louise's 18th birthday. Tonight she is having a party at the club across the road from them. She is still just as loveable but rather scatter brained. Don't see as much of her as I would like but she does phone me up pretty regularly. I wish you were going with me love. Can you remember she had her 10th birthday at the same place in 2017. Archie was running round in his baby walker then he fell asleep on your knee. Miss you so much love and think about all the wonderful times we could still have had together. Cancer is such a dreadful illness love. Love you so much love. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

10th November 2025. Hi my darling, six years today since I last saw you in the flesh. I miss you so much still. At the moment I am at the caravan. It is very chilly now in the morning but once I put the heating on it soon warms up. I set our Alexa to set a alarm so I don't forget to turn it off. I came on Thursday and going home on Sunday very early morning with Simon. Drain down is arranged for 26th November. Don't think we have ever stayed this long. I keep wanting to avoid a couple of neighbours which are quite a nuisance, I have put a pair of shoes and coat at front door so I can tell them I am going out. John was over last week and when I told him I was busy and couldn't make him a brew he pretended to cry. Can you remember when he had his so called fit. Gilly that moved into Jeans house is quite a nuisance, when she first moved here she would come in about four times a week and stay for hours. The question's she would ask, she is so nosy. O.K. darling, speak tomorrow love. Love you my sweetheart. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

26th November 2025. Well my love another year has passed since we said goodbye to you. Every day I still talk to you and kiss your photo, there are so many of you around the house. I have so many lovely memories of us doing things together. I have spent quite a lot of time at the caravan, which I enjoy so much. I forgot to tell you it was Carlys birthday on Thursday. I am cutting down on the amount we spend on presents with having all the ground rent to find. Oh love, I had a horrible week the week before. I could smell gas in the kitchen so I called the emergency number and they came out to check it. Unfortunately they didn't find the leak so they phoned the gas board who assured both Cadent and myself that I was covered by the insurance we have. Then a gas engineer came out to sort it but couldn't. Apparently the leak was under the floor and he told me I needed the specialist team. Two men at £160 per hour each. No idea how long it would take either. So I had no heating, hot water and I was unable to cook. I felt so sorry for myself. Simon managed to get his gas plumber to have a look and he managed to trace it under the kitchen floor. But he hadn't connected the oven back up so he had to come back. Simon has been so good sorting things out for me. But we are going to need a new kitchen floor and I am not sure yet as to what to have. So I am not sure when I will be going back to the caravan as I really do need the kitchen floor sorted. I love and miss you so much my darling. Your loving wife xxx E xxx
