Morning Mam, been an emotional 5 months, I have had an operation on my eye and now have sight issues preventing me from working ATM and David collapsed so he is also on the sick. Andrew and his partner Chelsea have moved out into their own home and have welcomed a little boy in Feb, our 3rd grand child. Daniel and his wife Becca who you would adore have Olivia who is such a character and are doing well. Your bungalow is up for sale as Ernie has had to go into a home for his safety and seems to be settling well, Gary died almost a year ago due to alcoholism so poor Colin having to sort everything. Life is never dull eh, always something going on. I miss you so so much and cannot believe it is 13 years this year since I last saw you. I will never forget you or stop loving and missing you. Xxxx

Morning Mam, sorry I haven't visited for a while so much going on, bad and good and oh how I wish you were here as you would have known what to say and do. Andrew and Ellie have separated and Ellie and Corey now living in South Shields eith his Mam, Andrew is behaving so unreasonably and I know you would say if he's unhappy then he has to do what's right for him, but to hurt people more so his son like he has I can't get, I love him but I'm so dissappointed and hurt by him. Wish you were here to talk to him as I know he would listen to you. Miss our chats, miss your wise words, miss your laughter, your enthusiasm, your zest for life, I miss you xxxxxx
