25th December 2022. Hi Darling, Christmas Day the fourth one without you by my side but always in my heart. Like Elvis Presley sang "It won't feel like Christmas without you, so I will see you tonight in my dreams." Carly and family coming for breakfast as usual and Samantha popping down. Then going to Simons for Christmas dinner. Have a lovely Heavenly Christmas sweetheart. All my love always, your loving wife xxx E xxx

23rd December 2022. Hi sweetheart. Three years today since you came back home. I have you in our bedroom and talk to you everyday. I miss you still so much love. Today I changed the bed and really struggled with it. So much easier when we use to do it together. Love and miss you so much my Darling. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

15th December 2022. Hi sweet, Samanthas 53rd birthday today. Gosh how time passes us by. She is in Scotland this week. She was full of a cold when they set off but she sounded much better when I phoned her earlier in the week. Hoping she has a lovely holiday. Miss you sweetheart. All my love, hugs and kisses to you.

13th December 2022. Hi my Darling. Laurens birthday today. Can you remember 1994 Simon phoned us in the middle of the night to say she had been born. 28 years ago. I have been out for breakfast this morning with Lauren, Simon and Helen. We went to Wetherspoons on the promenade. It is so cold and icey outside and very slippery underfoot. I am back home now and got my electric throw over me that Simon ordered. It is so warm and snug. Love and miss you so much sweetheart. Your loving wife xxx E xxx

7th December 2022. Hi sweetheart, had a lovely couple of days. Yesterday Laceys birthday and them coming to lunch. And today went to the cemetery to visit Mam. Simon & Helen took me and then after that went to Derek & Gwyneths for lunch and exchange Christmas presents. Leslie and Marie were there as well. It was so nice seeing everyone again. Not been over since March. I have not opened it yet but think Gwyneth has got us the Rochdale calender again. Miss you so much my sweet. All my love, hugs and kisses to you.

6th December 2022. Hi sweetheart, Laceys 15th birthday today. Would you believe it. Met her in town yesterday and bought her something from Pandora for Christmas from Grandad. I dont go in town much, think the last time was when I helped Simon in his little shop. Carly and Lacey are coming for lunch today, Samantha is supposed to be coming as well but she was a bit poorly yesterday so not sure. Love and miss you so much. Your loving wife xxx E xxx ❤❤
