Hi,
You probably don’t remember me, it was such a long time ago – but you can bet there is not a day that goes by that I do not remember Julie.
Life changes so much and what you hold dear is so suddenly and unexpectantly taken away. My boys are healthy and happy, which is the greatest/most important thing for me, but I hold dear to my memories. I am glad things are going so well for you. I hope you are happy and your family healthy and content. Do you still see Handbrake? And your mother, Rose – when I think of that awful two years I spent in Cwmduad…the shining light was your mum and her smile.
This is not an ‘I require an answer’ message it is just to let you know the importance of the past.
Regards,
Anderly
