I wanted to share my experience of being a young widow.......
Just when you think you had it all, some irresponsible driver comes and takes it all away in a flash, I was lucky to have had one child to the love of my life, but that was all it was going to be, no second sibling, no wedding, all future plans erased. I always knew I was going to settle down later in life and at the age of 35 I was pregnant with our daughter, yes unplanned, however after all the hours of talk and contimplation on a new life of 3 and not just 2 anymore, the responsibility was made and decided that love is much bigger than just 2 people, and I will never forget the day we decided to keep our beautiful little girl, as our lives were changed forever on that day for the better, even if just for a few years. Lee was 6 years younger than me, he had captured me with his maturity, his wicked sense of humour and most of all his compassion for others. I felt like a princess every day, his princess. Every day I would eagerly await his return home knowing he enjoyed coming home, as he told me so often. Lee would always tell me " you make coming home, a safe place to be". Even if either of us were just going out for 5 minutes around to the corner shop, Lee taught me to allways kiss and say I love you, just incase it is the last thing we ever say to each other. How was I to know he was so right, the last thing Lee did was kiss me and say " catch you later honey, love you" as he rode out of our driveway.
I know in my heart Lee would want me to love again, and our daughter share the simular joy we all had together, somedays these shoes are just to difficult to fill, other days I am open to change, but overall it is going to be difficult. I will hang onto the faith it will happen again because it had already by fate.... unexpectedly happened once before.
In loving memory of my LuvLee

Hi Nicola,
Thank you for your kind words. I feel I have been let down by the legal system but what else is new. I feel Den’s death doesn’t count and they look after the drive if they are not drunk of stoned. I went to court case today.

I too lost the most beautiful man just over 12 months ago. He was killed on his motorbike just before the birth of our little daughter. I can honestly say that I do understand the feeling when you are so deeply happy and grateful to have met a wonderful partner. Sending you much love. There are days when I know that half of me is whereever he is.

On my 40th birthday, a florist shop rang saying I had to pick up some flowers. There was a beautiful card with the flowers that directed me to the next shop. I went to 5 shops. Each shop directed me on to another shop. At the end was Dennis. He was so romantic, so caring, so thoughtful. He organised so many incredible trips, weekends, presents.
He was only 54 when he died. He had survived open heart surgery. The surgeon had said he would have another 20 years. He and I have been robbed of our future.
Dennis called me dream boat, we never in the 25 years went to sleep with angry words hanging.
In loving memory of Dennis xoxo
