Steph
Sometimes its like they haven’t left they are in another room or in the garden. Thats how i go on. At some stage Steph we will have to retrace our steps to the places we went. It will hurt but i want to be able to look back at those places and smile. I just know i cant go to Brean on a family holiday with out Chip he was the life and soul the funny man. There would be a gaping chip size hole. I will one day but not yet you will feel the same Steph whats the point of going somewhere making memories with the person you loved to never go there again and feel fondly about the place and know you shared that with your Tim x

there you go Richard thats more like it i bet Jean would find that amusing. “he cant even boil a egg” i know chip would take the Micky out of me for that, i cant do dippy eggs for soldiers he always did it for me
Yes you are right, it’s just too hard to think at the minute, it’s just so sad to think about our life that we don’t want now . Even though we’ve got our family, like you say there still is a big hole.
You are strong thinking like that, I need to take some strength from you x

I would like to be able to cook a little better, I don’t want to go down the road to relying on ready meals

Steph. I have come to realisation that i have lost the love of my life however i was very lucky to have had him in the first place. A lot of people never had what me and chip had. I wanted many many more years and thought iwe had them. Chip didn’t want to die he was fighting hard and even told me i dont want to die because i dont want to lose you. What a lucky woman i was to be loved like that. I found notes about the house chip wrote to me of a morning before he went to work. Some just general notes and one stood out he said when he got home we could have some dinner and watch the walking dead he put what more can a man want. to do that with the most beautiful woman in the world. That letter is safe in my memory box. I have to live for him now i am sad because i know he wanted to do things with me im gutted he will never teach Greyson to drive our grandson. i told Greyson i would teach him when he is older he said no granddad do it Chip was over the moon, The arrival of our new Grandson any time Knowing i will see him but chip wont. I say that but i think he will. My Dad lost his battle with cancer 20 years ago. My Rikki at the time was 3 she swore black and blue granddad came into her room in the night and left her a flower on her tele she pulled me upstairs to show me, i have no doubt in my mind my Dad did visit her. When Greyson was born the following day my Elise told me she woke up and saw Dad in the corner of the room. Dad always mosied on up to the hospital to see the kids when he was ready, I truly believe he popped in to say hi to the new addition how precious is that x

you did the fish and chips and still here to tell the tail Richard x
Not exactly Gordon Ramsey though Karie
practice makes perfect Richard start off with the easy stuff and then get cracking on the harder stuff you may amaze yourself and Jean. As i said before Chip was the cook in my house. I taught the daughter in law to make a stew yesterday and she did a brill job. I will never have a shep pie as good as my chips but thats a good thing because he was the best at shep pie and i will always bragg about it xx
Richard maybe not but you didn’t poison yourself so its a great start xx
Talking of which I am going to have my meal now, and play Ping Pong with my eggs, catch you later tonight if your on, xx

That’s so lovely, I like to think they are around us, to help and look after us, how can there be nothing. When you think how amazing it is for us humans even to be in this world, surely it can’t stop there .
We are lucky to have such love in our lives, a lot of people don’t get that. You and chip sound so much in love, it’s so special to have that.
Tim used to text me a couple of times every day when he was at work, he always ended his text with ‘I love you’ 
like you I do feel lucky to have had that and to feel so loved. Just so hard it’s come to an end while we are young, but so lucky we had that.
Very exciting about your new grandson, but painful aswell because of chip .
But all these things in life are going to happen without our loves by our side, heartbreaking x
