My wife was called Donna. She was born in 1978 and passed in 2022. I met her when I was on my lunch break from work, we discussed Terry Pratchett books (I was reading one at the time) and ended up spending that whole night talking. The rest as they say is history. We dated, had two children together, married, went through thick and thin together, sickness and health, some not so great, but lots and lots of good times. She loved Pterry, old rock anthems (Bon Jovi being one of many) our many animals and she was always so proud of our children. I will always miss you Donna and love you. Thank you stranger for reading this, you are keeping her memory alive x

Hello Matt 9
Donna will never be forgotten.
My partner was called Dai and he was born in 1955 and he passed in 2023. We were together for 25 years. Our first date was when he took me to Llandudno for the day. He said we would do whatever I wanted to do. We walked on the pier and turned around and looked at the grand hotel and he told me that one day we would stay there. His way of saying he wanted to be with me. My answer was "I’d like that "
We never had children we had each other. He fought hard all of his life with his health but he was always smiling and joking.
He loved the seaside and our breaks there.
He loved cowboy films and war films and his favourite programme of all was Peaky Blinders. He had the haircut and the flat cap . I drew the line at putting razor blades in it.
We were soulmates and he left me with so many beautiful memories.
You will always be the biggest part of me Dai. Until we are together again I will love you. Thank you for keeping his memory alivex

Mini1. It is an awful place to be in. You feel terrible, but you don’t want everyone feeling sorry for you all the time or it just reminds you of what you have lost. I truly appreciate you and want you to know you are not alone. I honestly never thought I would be a widower in my 40’s…

It’s a place that nobody wants to be in. Just having this site to share with everyone makes a huge difference. I am trying to be grateful for the 25 years I had with him rather than being angry that he was taken from me at 67 x

@Mini1. I have only joined here tonight, but am taken aback at the kindness i have been shown. I totally understand, I spent 25 years with Donna and never saw myself without her… I am slowly finding life again, albeit without the same vibrance it use to hold, but tomorrow is still there and the promise it holds x

Such a lovely idea. Your lovely wife will live on in your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on and in the memories of those who loved her while she was here with us.
