As a husband you were the best, and maybe it is only now I am appreciating quite how much you did and how well you did it. I know that I am quite capable of looking after all the paperwork, all the banking, all the DIY – truth be told I just don’t really want to do it but have to. Probably neither did you, but I don’t remember you making such a big deal of it as I now do.
As a lover you were …… mine, and that is all I need to say about that. Romantic may not have been something others saw you as – but you knew exactly when to hold my hand or look at me in a way that told me I was the most loved person in the world.
But today the sun is shining, it is a holiday and I could do anything I want to. But it is days like this that I want to spend with my best friend, and that is you.
As time goes on I understand that I no longer have my husband or my lover but every day it gets a little harder to be without my best mate.
I miss your style, your wit, your friendship and your love.
Yours always, Judes xxx
