Dave what can i say. You was definatly one of the best. You will always be in our thoughts. xxx
France
Hi Son,
Well we have at last got to the end of the renovation of this place. Your Dad has finished with the painting, much to his delight! There are a few small bits to sort out inside but nothing major. We will sort out new double glazing panels for the 3 front of house doors and then paint the outside...walls that is.Tues we are having it valued and then sit back and wait, and wait, and wait!!!
It won't be a quick sale because it's the same in France as it is in the UK....very slow house sales. We will have to see how it goes but we will be back with you soon darling, I will visit you in April anyway. I moved all your photos around yesterday and put you in some new frames...your smiling eyes are looking down on me as I write this. I wish with all my heart you could have seen and visited France whilst we were here but it wasn't to be. You would have been such a help to your Dad and me, and perhaps we might have been happier....I don't know. All I know is that now I need to be back with my girls and have some fun and laughs in our lives. Not the same without you of course, but as good as it can be.
You would be surprised to hear that Lisa has passed her coursework with Distinction, and has recorded the highest marks ever given!!She just needs a nice new job to go with it now so work your magic darling....please.
Daz is still out of work but is getting a few more calls lately.
Well have to make your Dad another drink, so will end my letter now. I hope you are enjoying your peaceful life Son, we all miss you so much. Send me your kisses and touch my heart with your smiles.
Love forever, Mumxxxxxx
Another Christmas without you.
Dearest David,
I cannot believe how quickly this year has passed by and we are on our third Christmas without you in our lives.
People say it gets easier as time goes by but this year for some reason I am finding it harder to put a smile on my face, I keep thinking of you all the time.Chloe and I went to the crem the other day to put you a card and flowers, it seemed like yesterday when you were still with us and laughing, smiling and telling jokes.
I know Mum and Dad miss you so much.It is my wish for them to be back in England in 2012,at least then I will be able to see them more and look after them.
I will miss you till the day I die Dave.Take care wherever you are.
Your ever loving Sister,
Lisa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3rd Xmas without you.
Hello David,
Another Xmas without your voice on the phone or a card in the post.You never really liked Xmas....much like we all feel now you are no longer with us.The UK has not had such a bad few weeks like they had last year.....you hated the cold weather. Dad and I are plodding along and are eventually getting to the end of the renovations on this place.I can never call it 'home'...it never will be that. My home is the UK and when I am back in Shropshire then I will be truly content. I won't say happy, cos I will never be happy until I am with you my darling.Your sisters are working hard but they miss you so much. I don't know how I would have coped without them, they deserve so much. Your 3 kids are OK and all the little ones are excited for Xmas.
Well my darling, I wish you a Happy Xmas wherever you are. You are in our hearts and minds for eternity.
Love you to the stars and beyond, Mum and Dadxxxx
Memories
Hi my darling,
No doubt you are saying what have we done buying the old Thunderbird back!! Well Dad wanted a car for standby transport and whilst he was looking on the internet he found the first T'bird!! We were very surprised to say the least, and after seeing pix and speaking to the garage we decided to buy it! It made it fairly easy to go and get it as the garage was just outside Southampton, so Wed we flew over, got the car and caught the ferry back and drove it to Pilet!!. It was looking a bit frayed around the edges in some places.......but the boot was full of spares and paperwork....and some of it had your name on it...MOT's and parts invoices!! We hadn't seen the car since 1998 when we sold it to Ralph Ellis so for a car that is nearly 20 years old it's not too bad. Just keep an eye on it Son, and keep it and us safe. Dad , I know misses being able to speak to you about cars....you were SO clever about any car. Dad has no one now to chat with....Leigh isn't interested and anyway he never contacts us. Daren is OK with cars but you were just ace. We miss you darling, so, so much....we hope you are happy in your 'other' place. We always remember you ....and cars. Mum and Dadxxxxxx
My darling Son
David,
You are in my heart and mind every single minute of every day. I miss your phone calls, your laugh,your jokes and happy voice whenever you were around.You were a true, caring son and I loved having you in my life for the 43 years,3days and 12 hours you were on this earth.I just wait for the day we are together again. Love you to the stars and beyond..Mumxxxxx
Remembering..2
Hi David,
Yesterday was 3 years since we lost Grandad Smith......you were so much like him! Same birth sign, Aries and same quick temper together with a very full vocabulary of swear words!! I would give anything just to hear you both again....swearing and all!! Right now I feel totally lost son, I don't know how to sort out this family...think I might just 'turn off' for a while. Love you so much, really need to 'feel' you close to me.Mumxxxx
Remembering
Hi David,
Remembering Nan Smith today.....it's 8 years since we lost her. Can you imagine all the holidays you and your brother and sisters spent down in Strood. Such innocent, happy days with Nan and Grandad, I hope you are being looked after by them and that you are keeping them entertained with your jokes and quick wit. Life in the UK is not too good at the moment and life for your brother is one long hassle....try to calm him down will you son. He is giving everyone a real hard time and it's very worrying.
Take care my darling, we all miss you so much. Mumxxxx
Hi David,
It's Sunday and Dad and I are just having a coffee before starting some work. Alison is arriving today with Daz and Jess.....how I wish we were making plans for you to visit. You said your one regret was that you would never see this house........if only we could turn back time.Daz is going to be doing more painting for us and you know your sister, she is planning massive cleaning!!The weather has been a bit cool so I just hope it warms up next week.Once the lounge and dining room are painted we only have the 2 downstairs bedrooms to do.
You would have loved to be helping your Dad ....you and him got on so well together and your ideas were so alike for diy.There isn't a day goes by that I don't think of you in one way or another.A song,a particular time of day...even what we are having for dinner....I can picture you in some way being in the room with me.I hope you are happy my darling son, take care of us all. I miss you so much. Mumxxxxxx
Happy/sad times
Hi Son,
Well your Emma did you proud. Her wedding went off without a hitch and the weather was near perfect. You always said she had her head screwed on and all the plans she made for her big day proved you right.The only thing she couldn't arrange was having you by her side to give her away, but Anthony did an ace job. He looked so handsome and smart......just like you used to be on special occasions.Stephi looked beautiful as well as a bridesmaid and all the children were well behaved.
Emma had the reception at the same place where we said goodbye to you.......she did ask me if that was alright and in a way it made it even more special. I felt you close all day and know you were watching over us all.If only we could turn back time.......
The visit to the UK was not all smooth.It was hard going and there was some tension with your brother....try to work your magic on him son, and get him to see that all Dad and I want is an easy, calm life and the same for him. He just doesn't have your sense of judgement for other people.
I never got to come and chat with you but because of a couple of things that happened I know you were with me darling.Sept/Oct I will be there to chat.Take care of us all and help Dad and me get the strength to finish this house so we can move back to the UK.
We love and miss you so much....music helps me through the days and I know you loved your music.Sing out loud David. Mumxxxxxxx
