A sympathy so sure, so deep,
A love so beautiful to keep.
My darling Susan
I loved you at first sight
And will carry you in my heart forever.
Goodbye my love - Michael

Today is the 9th anniversary of Susie's death. It seems a lifetime ago. Her death was 17 days before our 41st wedding anniversary. We had been a "couple" for 45 years. The 20th of this month would have been our Golden Wedding. I was 16 and she was 18 when we met at my first job at W.H.Smiths. It was love at first sight, even though she was already engaged. She cancelled her engagement and we became partners. Our life together was fantastic. Her only real heartbreak was not having children, so we had dogs as her babies. She was the warmest hearted, jovial person I have ever known. She was loved by so many people, and is so sadly missed. My darling your love and your memory will be with me until the day I die.

Her only real heartbreak was not having children, so we had dogs as her babies. She was the most warm hearted, jovial people I have ever known. She was loved by so many people, and so sadly missed.

5 Years Today
5 Years ago today, I and the world lost the most beautiful of souls. Susan, my late wife, brightened up everywhere she went. Life was always met with a smile. Even through her short and tragic illness she never complained. I hope these pictures will remind those who knew her, of the bright and happy person she was. She loved life, and I loved her. I was fortunate to be with her for 45 years. Thank you my angel for all the happy memories. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Despite the pain of losing her, I feel so proud and privileged to, have not only known her, but to have loved, and been loved, by her for over 45 wonderful years. Sleep well my angel. You will always be missed. You are forever in my thoughts and in my heart. I will love you forever, R I P my angel xxxxxx.

One year ago today
A year ago today, I managed to get Susan an emergency hospital appointment. It was then that they told us there was no more treatment. Susan just said "that's it then". they asked her if she was ok and she said "fine". We got her home and she asked to lay down. The will to fight had gone. she switched herself off. By Friday she was dead. So brave, so strong, so beautiful. I miss her everyday. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Scattering the ashes
On Wednesday August 3rd 2011 Susie would have been 64. It will be 8 months by the date since she passed away. I have chosen this day to scatter her ashes, along with our labrador Penny's, in the fields they used to walk together. If anyone would like to be there, please contact me for full details.
thank you

6 months
Today 03/06/2011 is six months exactly since my world died. After an all too short, but brave struggle, Susan passed away six months ago today. Life isn't, or ever can be, the same again. I miss her face, her voice, her gentleness but mostly I miss her fun, her laughter. Life goes on, but without the fun. Laughter died with her. I love you Susie, always have, always will. Godbless.

One year ago
A year ago today started like any other working friday. Susan was having minor problems with her neck, due to a fall at work, and a slight weakness in the left hand. As we left for work, we had no idea that this day would change our lives for ever. After being advised to get her neck treated, Susan was sent from the Royal Hallamshire, where she worked, to the Northern General Hospital. That was at 9.30am. She was still there at 10.30pm when a lady doctor told us they had found a leasion in her brain. Susan asked what that meant, and they told us she had cancer, a brain tumour. Our whole lives were shattered. Susan never went to work again, and just over six months later, my beautiful, funny, darling wife Susan, was dead.

3 Months
Today it is 3 months by the date since Susie died. To say I miss her is a massive understatment. Though I knew what was coming from the first diagnosis, nothing prepares you for the emptiness thats left behind. For a while there was Penny who needed me, now she's gone as well and it's difficult to see the way forward. At the moment it's a case of going through the motions of getting up, going to work and taking one day at a time. I still talk to her, and adding things on this site keeps me sane. The ammount of people who have visited and the kind words assure me that other people thought, as I did, that she was a very special lady and I was very fortunate to have loved her and been loved in return.

Penny
Today Penny has gone to join Susan. The vet put her to sleep at 12.45 today. She fought her age, and her tumours, with great fortitude, but the one in her mouth was growing at such a rate that eating had become difficult and all that was left was a slow painful end. She went to sleep peacefully in my arms after a lovely morning togther, and a final meal. She will be cremated and her ashes kept with Susan's until the spring. I hope Susan feels I have done the right thing. Now my world feels totally empty

Penny's Birthday
Today January 28th is our black labrador Penny's 14th birthday. She is now a very old lady. Susan and I didn't think she would live past 10, but she keeps going. When Sue was diagnosed her first comment was, "Penny will outlive me". She was right, but it's a close call. Penny has two major tumor's and will soon join her mistress. Susan left me to make sure her last day's are the best possible, as I did with her. I hope she approves. I love and will miss both of them so much.

seven weeks
It is seven weeks today since you died and five weeks since the funeral. Life without you seems so empty. Penny is quite poorly now. The tumour in her mouth grows a liitle everyday and brings closer the day I have to make the decision to let her join you. I'll miss both of you more than you can imagine. Godbless my darling

first week
Saturday 8th jan, Finished the first week at work this morning, then went and did the shopping. All mundane and routine, but coming home to an empty house I will never get used to. You're still everywhere my love,and yet nowhere. I still talk to you half expecting a reply. Penny's made it to 2011. She'll be 14 at the end of the month. Not bad for a labrador,but her legs are getting very bad now and her lumps are getting bigger. She misses her mistress, we both do.

3rd January
Well the new year is up and running. Tomorrow I'll return to work and try to get on with living a nornal life, although how my life can ever be normal without you is so very hard to see. It's been a month today by the date. It's been a month where we should have celebrated our 41st anniversary, xmas and a new year. Instead all there is, is a big hole where you used to be. Sleep well my angel.

New years day 2011
The first day of a brand new year, the first year since 1964 that you will not have been in my life. It's still so very hard to come to terms with the fact that I'll never see your face again or hear your voice or feel your love. Your humour, energy and zest for life can never be replaced. I feel like a lost soul starting out on a new journey, with no compass or any clue of the destination.
